Art may not survive the 21st century as a separate, meaningful category - according to one of the UK's foremost art teachers. Both cultural change and massively increased accessibility to the tools with which to create will have a huge impact on the nature of art itself. Presenters Timandra Harkness and Leo Johnson explore the impact that technological change will have on art, and speak to artists at the forefront of the digital revolution.

“Legality is a question of Power” “Now Seize Freedom” “Our Truths are Self-evident”; three quotes that can sit happily together but are quoted from opposite sides of the political spectrum, one from die Rote Armee Fraktion and the other two from US Republican representative Thaddeus G. McCotter. It is exactly this proximity that Bauer’s most recent work deals with. Historically her work has spliced together imagery drawn from sources as diverse as Rubens paintings, Japanese prints, carnival caravans and contemporary architectural drawings. The work has consistently addressed violence and power though has more recently become more overtly political. The content of the text ranges from historical and contemporary political slogans to apocryphal advice from both far right and far left websites. The work is research into where the ideology of both left and right may or may not overlap. The images continue to be complex visual puzzles twisting and layering politics as they twist and layer imagery but also presenting the conceptual overlap and dissolve of traditional political positions in a rethinking of left and right. She is currently returning to the more sculptural/ architectural side of her practice with a project looking at the architecture of the UN in NY as its point of genesis.
