The Growing Connection between Technology and the Arts

Creative Language Technologies

Hello creatives! This is episode #2 of the podcast and it’s Thursday, the 23rd of September 2021.
I am Roxana Girju, your podcast host. In today’s show I am talking to Jax Deluca about bridging the digital divide between Arts and Technology. Jax is the Media Arts Director of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). She brings in twelve years of experience at the intersection of arts and community-building as an artist, non-profit administrator, and educator. In her position, she is in charge with the NEA’s grant portfolio and field-building resources for the arts organizations across the country working in film, video, audio, immersive technology, and other emerging media forms.
Jax is also one of the contributors to “Tech as Art: Supporting Artists Who Use Technology as a Creative Medium”, a report produced by the National Endowment for the Arts’ Office of Research & Analysis in collaboration with the Media Arts Division. This is the focus of today’s episode.
Note:
The National Endowment for the Arts supports activities at the intersection of arts and technology through its flagship Grants for Arts Projects program in the Media Arts discipline. More information on the NEA's grant opportunities is available at arts.gov/grants
