The increasing ubiquity of systems of information manipulation and communication presents particular challenges to the art gallery as an institution. At one level these challenges are practical; how to take advantage of the new means of dissemination and communication these technologies make possible; how to compete in an increasingly media-saturated world; how to engage with new artistic practices made possible by such technologies, many of which present their own particular challenges in terms of acquisition, curation and interpretation. At another level the challenges are far more profound; they concern the status of institutions such as art galleries in a world where real-time technologies radically bring into question the way they operate.

In this unique 10-session course, staff from across Tate will discuss how digital information and communications impact on their work.
