Is Technology on Our Side?
Ten years into the internet age, the arts are undecided. Will virtual reality kill off live performance or bring in new audiences? Does instant access to absolutely everything enhance our appreciation of great and rare works of art? Or are we so gorged by abundance that we no longer thrill to Shakespeare, Rembrandt and Wagner? Can technology be harnessed by artists to achieve their visions? Or should art take the Luddite high ground and expel the software peddlers from its temples? Norman Lebrecht chairs another discussion on a hot topic in today's culture. Email your views to: Lebrecht.live@bbc.co.uk, write to: lebrechLlive, BBC R3.
