EP18 Jess Herrington & Denise Thwaites

Jess Herrington & Denise Thwaites join us in the flats

Snapchat brought virtual and augmented reality to the palm of our hands, creating an accessible and simple user experience that resonated with the masses. This thrust digital artists and creators into the forefront of an evolving medium and offered a new way to interact with audiences. With technology and platforms ever changing it offers artist limitless possibilities with what’s next. Join us in unpacking the NFT fad with Jess and Denise.

We’ll be chatting to digital artist and facefilter expert Jess Herrington. This discipline requires the ability to straddle a complicated line of science, technology and art so it’s no surprise Jess is also a PhD neuroscience candidate. Jess has worked for clients including Instagram, Adobe and Sephora, as well as shows at the NGA, NPG, Art Not Apart and Sancho’s Dirty Laundry.

Denise Thwaites also works closely in the digital art world as a curator and researchers with the University of Canberra. She is the co-founder of Blocumenta, an organisation which since 2018 has been experimenting with how art fits on the blockchain and exploring decentralised technologies. Denise is the go to expert on NFT in Canberra so can’t wait to learn more about the acronym that is confusing everyone.
