Lindsay Howard will speak about curating digital art and her current research project, Temporary Highs. Temporary Highs is a series of linked exhibitions that explore how the structure of the Internet enables reward-seeking behavior in a compulsive cycle of sharing and consumption. It focuses on artworks that operate in a space where immediate gratification is paramount and multitasking has become a requisite social behavior.

Featuring works by Petra Cortright, Anouk Kruithof, Jonas Lund, Hannah Perry, Pascual Sisto, Addie Wagenknecht, and others, these exhibitions examine the pleasure and anxiety around these experiences as well as the constant search for validation, understanding, and connection.
