Three-year series on how artists around the world are adopting technology in their art form
October 05, 2018, Singapore – Bloomberg Media Group today announced that its sponsored digital video series ART + TECHNOLOGY in collaboration with Hyundai Motor Company, is a Gold Winner of the 9th Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards 2018 for the Webisodes category.
The series, featuring a line-up of global artists who are founding a new genre using technology in their art form, includes a total of 108 episodes produced over three years, starting in 2018. ART + TECHNOLOGY streams globally on Bloomberg’s digital platforms via Bloomberg.com and the Bloomberg mobile app.
Designed and produced for digital, each 3-4 minute documentary-style episode profiles a new artist, highlighting the latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, data, virtual reality and 3D printing. Featured artists include Ross Goodwin, Memo Akten and Refik Anadol. ART + TECHNOLOGY follows the critically acclaimed, ‘Brilliant Ideas’ television series, created in partnership with Hyundai Motor. Bringing art and technology to life, the soundtrack for the series was created entirely by artificial intelligence, produced by music partner, Jukedeck, a UK-based AI-music startup.
“We’re thrilled for ART + TECHNOLOGY to receive this prestigious award as it recognizes Hyundai Motor Company and Bloomberg’s shared commitment to the arts and innovation,” said Justin B. Smith, CEO of Bloomberg Media Group, “With Bloomberg’s ability to create unique, compelling content, coupled with our global, multi-platform media offering, ART + TECHNOLOGY brings to life the intersection of art and technology to global audiences.”
