Summary Artists and musicians have always seized on innovations in technology to advance their creative practices. Art curator Jérome Neutres takes us to the Louvre where we see how the use of oil paints in the 15th century transformed portraiture, and how the development of paint in tubes enabled Impressionism to flourish. We also see how in the generative art of Miguel Chevalier and Elias Crespin, AI and robotics re-imagine fine art today. Celebrated drummer Will Calhoun shows us how ancient African drumming has led to New Orleans blues and urban hip hop. Master violinist Joshua Bell collaborates with a computer company to replicate his vast array of sounds to produce readily available compositions. Video game designers extraordinaire Tracy Fullerton and Jenova Chen take us through the ever evolving world of computer generated gaming. And yet "everything new is old again" as we witness the building, installation and emotional performance in a historic church of a five-thousand piece pipe organ where 14th century technology has changed virtually not at all.
