About the seminar series Deep Dive into Emerging Tech
Deep Dive into Emerging Tech is organised by LASALLE’s BA(Hons) Arts Management programme. It consists of four events aiming to explore such emerging technologies as blockchain, NFT and Metaverse to discuss and explore how they challenge, transform and innovate the contemporary arts ecosystem. Anyone interested in demystifying such buzzwords as NFT and Metaverse and better understand these phenomena is encouraged to book a seat and surface questions they have long wanted to ask.
