The End of Authenticity— A discussion about art and...

What happens to notions of originality and uniqueness in artworks, as the advance of 3D printing brings us closer to an era of perfect replication? Will scarcity lose its salience? What has been the experience to date in digital art, where perfect reproduction is already possible? Does the blockchain technology used for Bitcoin provide a model for authenticating digital products?

To discuss these questions The Browser is proud to bring together two of our favourite writers, Felix Salmon and Izabella Kaminska, brilliant and unconventional thinkers fascinated by the interaction of finance, technology and culture. The discussion will last about an hour, followed by a free glass of wine (or two, or even three if you catch us at the right moment). Knowledge is pleasure.

With Felix Salmon (Fusion, ex-Reuters) and Izabella Kaminska (FT Alphaville)
