Set against the backdrop of Miami, this art extravaganza will feature a diverse range of curated Special Projects, performances, podcast conversations, and events that celebrate the fusion of art and technology, in line with this year's curatorial themes of "Gender Equality in the Arts" and "Curating in the Digital Age."
