NEA: Tech as Art

During her tenure at the National Endowment for the Arts, Dr. Shaffer coordinated a two-year research initiative exploring the multifaceted creative practices of artists who engage with digital technologies. The research examined the creative infrastructure supporting tech-focused artistic practices and provides insight into the existing challenges and opportunities faced by artists and organizations working at the intersection of arts and technology. The study was part of an Arts & Technology Field Scan conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Ford Foundation and the Knight Foundation.
