Perspectives
This article is based on a conference paper which I presented at Consciousness Reframed XIX – Art and Consciousness in the Post-Biological Era (2016) at DeTao Masters Academy in Shanghai, China. My article engages with the conference’s sub-theme which is Art and its Future and highlights the topic of the combined future of art, spirituality and technology including examples from my artworks.
