In a special edition from the 57th Venice Biennale, Click examines how artists are using digital technology and how their work comments on the role of digital technology in our lives. The programme includes a tour of the Venetian waterways with a blind guide using the specially developed BlindWiki app; there is an interview with the world-renowned curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist on the use of the photocopier in the work of the Italian artist Alighiero Boetti – once described as the Andy Warhol of Europe; Philip Schütte presents his interactive SUN project; and there is a discussion with the artist Lisa Reihana in collaboration with James Pinker on the remarkable and innovative film from New Zealand, in Pursuit of Venus [infected], 2015-17, a cinematic reimagining of the French scenic wallpaper Les Sauvages de la Mer Pacifique, 1804-1805, also known as ‘Captain Cook’s voyages’.
