PANEL DISCUSSION ON SUPERRARE - Generative Female Artists Talk About Gender Diversity, Pricing, Valuation and more in the Digital Art Market
We invite you to join the panel conversation ‘Generative Female Artists Talk About Gender Diversity, Pricing, Valuation and more in the Digital Art Market’ moderated by Kate Vass with Sofia Crespo, Anna Ridler, Helena Sarin and Anne Spalter next week on SuperRare as part of the SR Generative & AI art week from 7-10 September, 2020.
During this panel conversation our speakers will discuss various questions:
Why is work by Female Artists still valued less than work by Male Artists?
Valuation of artworks in crypto space / artworld generally under the dominance of the male art
Approach / vision of the 4 artists concerning the blockchain /crypto space
Blockchain as a tool to legitimize the digital artwork
We will also discuss how it feels being a female artist in 2020 working at the intersection of art and technology - two worlds typically run by men- and much more!
Stay tuned and don’t miss it!
The Speakers
Sofia Crespo
Sofia Crespo is an artist working with a huge interest in biology-inspired technologies. One of her main focuses is the way organic life uses artificial mechanisms to simulate itself and evolve, this implying the idea that technologies are a biased product of the organic life that created them and not a completely separated object. On the side, she is also hugely concerned with the dynamic change in the role of the artists working with machine learning techniques.
Anna Ridler
Anna Ridler (b. 1985) is an artist and researcher who works with information and data. Born in London, Ridler spent her childhood raised between Atlanta, Georgia and the United Kingdom. A core element of her work lies in the creation of handmade datasets through a laborious process of selecting and classifying images and text. By creating her own datasets, Ridler is able to uncover and expose underlying themes and concepts while also inverting the usual process of constructing large databases. Her interests are in drawing, machine learning, data collection, storytelling, and technology.

Helena Sarin
Visual artist and software engineer, Helena Sarin has always been working with cutting edge technologies, first at Bell Labs, designing commercial communication systems, and for the last few years as an independent consultant, developing computer vision software using deep learning. While she has always worked in tech, Helena has been doing commission work in watercolor and pastel as well as in the applied arts like fashion, food and drink styling and photography. But art and software ran as parallel tracks in her life, all her art being analog... until she discovered GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks). Since then generative models became her primary medium.
Anne Spalter
Digital mixed-media artist Anne Spalter is an academic pioneer who founded the original digital fine arts programs at Brown University and The Rhode Island School of Design in the 1990s. With a decades-long goal of integrating art and technology, Spalter has authored over a dozen academic papers and the seminal, internationally taught textbook, The Computer in the Visual Arts (Addison-Wesley, 1999). Alongside her studio practice, Spalter continues to lecture on digital art practice and theory. She is on the Digital Art Acquisitions Committee of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
