Throughout history, polymaths have played an important role during times of change. Working across disciplines and artistic genres, polymaths have helped us to see connections that were hidden, grasp opportunities that we may otherwise have missed and challenge preconceptions of “what is art”?

This presentation is about a new generation of artists who work across boundaries in many different fields. Polymaths or transitory artists who understand the linkages and connections between the various disciplines of life. Artists who explore the crossover between art, science and technology, looking outside what’s perceived as “traditional” to incorporate different perspectives into their work.
