Abstract
As part of the EVA London 2018 conference on Electronic Visualisation and the Arts, V&A Digital Futures has organised two special evening events, presenting a series of technology-based installations and enabling networking of those interested in digital art. Digital Futures has been focusing on topics around the impact of technology in art, society and contemporary culture, bringing to the fore questions of privacy and surveillance, big data, IoT, technological obsolescence, identity and value in a digital age, to digital tools for civic engagement and action, and more.
