Art Beat With Sean Rameswaram, May 22

(May 22-June 10) The artsy, techy Zeitgeist
Technology and art are coupling in all sorts of interesting ways this month in the District. A few good artists from the area tackle the effects of all the data we’re streaming daily in Too Much Information? at the DC Arts Center in Northwest through early June. The exhibit’s themes of over-stimulation and access to information are the subject of a panel discussion with the participating artists and curators tomorrow evening.

(May 22-31) Photography vs. iPhoneography

Nineteen artists make the argument that there’s a whole lot of fine art to be found in our social media.
