On Wednesday, May 10, the knightfdn Awards 2023 Arts + Tech Fellowship announced five recipients for an unrestricted $50,000 grant. ✨ Notably, the list includes Clevelander Kara Güt, an artist known for her mixed-media exhibits including the 2022 piece "Hurt/Comfort," where a series of digital vignettes blur the line between a video game streamer and their avatar. The work utilizes the recently viral game "Elden Ring." “I was nominated and then somehow made it to the final round,” Güt says. “It's a huge, huge opportunity. I'm so grateful, and it really has kind of shone a light on other ways of working with art and tech that aren't like the traditional ways. I feel like our group is more about storytelling and using technology in innovative ways.” 🧑‍💻 Head to the link in the bio for the full story. 🖊 Anthony Elder 📷 baby_peach123456789, Knight Foundation, Cultural Counsel #clevelandart #cleveland #inthecle #northeastohio #art #videogames #gaming #digitalart
