Beginning in 2021, a collaborative project between LA ACM SIGGRAPH, and the EZTV Online Museum, has been annually presenting an online series of interviews with leading digital artists, whose work in some cases go back to the 1960s. These previous three years, all were leading up to this year's inaugural one-month long exhibition for DNA Festival Santa Monica, a new six-month long annual digital arts festival, an initiative between Bergamot Station Arts Center, Santa Monica College, 18th Street Arts Center, in cooperation with the City of Santa Monica, and various community organizations.
In celebration of EZTV's 45th anniversary, as well as its 40 years of collaborations with LA ACM SIGGRAPH (as well as the entire international SIGGRAPH communities), a survey of 24 artists, whose work ranges form the late 1970s to today, will demonstrate the rich DNA of innovations that occurred between artists and technologists. Almost all the artists have been presented in events co-sponsored by LA ACM SIGGRAPH and EZTV, and all the artists presented have been active in the artistic movement that exists between the on-going collaborations between these two seminal Southern California media arts organizations.
