Art & Digital, a Lecture Series in Partnership with Alto Avocats

As part of the MBA in Contemporary Art, IESA arts&culture launched its Art & Digital series of two annual lectures on June 6, 2017. This lecture series on cultural communication will bring professionals and students together around the major questions related to digital innovations in the creation, production, distribution and mediation of the arts. It will particularly feed the digital arts option of this MBA, which welcomes about twenty international students each year.

This first lecture, titled “Collecting, Distributing and Sharing Today and Tomorrow” and moderated by Pierre Naquin, director of Art Media Agency, opened this series of meetings by addressing, all at once, the analysis of digital-related contemporary creations, their market, their distribution and the development of their entry into contemporary collections. Artists, critics, institutions and collectors were able to debate

It was also an opportunity to introduce major legal questions thanks to a partnership with the law firm Alto Avocats, represented by Giovanna Nino and Arnaud Touati. This new IESA partner, specialized in digital and startups, chose to support the school through skills-based sponsorship for its developments related to digital innovation: programs, symposia and conferences, incubator, etc.
