STEM + Arts = STEAM (Science, Technology, Electronics, Math + Arts) The artists transform technology to something SPECTACULAR!
Christie's ultimate goal is to have best shared experiences with the 60 000 screens worldwide. ie Empire State Building, basket ball courts, ice rinks, across Niagara Falls, UK Parliament Buildings, Lights on buildings in Disney, New Avatar Display, etc.
What science and technology is offering the arts is fact that computer artificial intelligence can now make art. Previously Computer Art was to abstract however now computer art may be preferred over people's work.
