NEXUS: FROM HANDMADE TO HIGH TECH SECAC 2014 OCTOBER 8-11 | SARASOTA, FLORIDA NEXUS: FROM HANDMADE TO HIGH TECH From Etsy to Apple, letterpress to Wordpress, Guttenberg to Adobe, Patrick Dougherty to James Turrell, handmade and high-tech influences weave a rich tapestry of creative possibilities across disciplines. SECAC 2014 explores this spectrum, while compelling us to think about how the intersection of the human hand and technology informs contemporary art and design. NEXUS: Handmade to High Tech provides a springboard for vibrant exchange across disciplines and media, and promises to foster innovation, ignite the imagination, and shape artistic practice and curriculum for years to come.
