Virtual symposium

Today I attended a virtual symposium hosted by Shetland College. Which was just flipping things on there head as it's usually Shetland and Orkney being add ons to things organised on the mainland not hosting a, what ended up being, global event. It was a VC discussion between lots of different colleges and art schools the length of the UK with a guest talker from New York, Pablo Helguera. The symposium was all about exchanging ideas and discussing art in the community, participation art and social engaging artworks. Was very interesting, hearing about what other art students have done in the genre of art but it made for a long day with technical glitches causing a lot of stop-start talks.
