TECH + ART

Today, we're talking to Franco Varriano, founder of the Tech + Art initiative in Ottawa. In an increasingly digital world, Varriano will tell us why he thinks that technologists and artists can come together to push the frontiers of what's possible with both IRL and URL creativity. Can traditional artists thrive in a tech-based market? Is it possible for creatives and techies to come together to address social issues in their communities in novel ways?
