Artists can help us see around corners … they can help us interrogate the world we live in. I think artists really have an ability to help the culture at large gain a better understanding of the relationship of society and issues we face.

Artists, when they work, delve really deeply into issues, so we thought, ‘Why not create a platform that kind provides a face for those ideas and perspectives to be shared with a broad public?’

The voices of artists—musicians and poets, artists who work in data visualization, make documentaries, produce images or write about their experiences—are more necessary than ever in a field as all-encompassing as the technologies it uses.
