I'm Julia Morton, a writer interested in visual arts and its evolving relationship with technology. 

Art is a time capsule that contains a visual record of our personal and cultural lives. Flip through the pages of an art history book, and you'll see civilization developing across the centuries. Innovative technologies inspire novel art forms and reactionary movements. Current breakthroughs are changing how we access and pass on knowledge about our beliefs, rituals, and cultures. New technologies may also be rewiring our brains, changing how we enjoy and understand images and the knowledge they transmit.

Artists who respond to the changes may try to capture the era's grand zeitgeist, while others portray personal experiences. Art's scope and flexibility make it a universal language. As we move toward a future, we can barely imagine art will be there in some form.

I graduated from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, with a B.S. in Fashion Design. After 20 years in the fashion industry, I took writing classes and began covering art. I was interested in how artists would interpret the information age as the 21st century began.

My reviews and essays have appeared in Chapel Hill News, Artnet.com, Art in America, Bust, New York Press, Gallery Guide, City Arts, The San Diego Union-Tribune, Art Papers, PBS On Air, and Gay and Lesbian Times.

I've also contributed essays to numerous gallery catalogs and art books, including:

Women Then: photographs by Jerry Schatzberg, and Paris 62 (both for Rizzoli Publishers),  Kent Williams: Amalgam (ASFA)

"Life Studies" at Duke University Nasher Art Museum, Durham, NC, (1999)

"Only Human" at the B-side Gallery, San Diego, CA. (2000)

I wrote and produced the YouTube art review channel Now On: (2006 - 2015)

I was a co-founder and gallery director for Generative Art Project Gallery (2018-2020) in Austin, TX

My Substack column AI + Art features interviews with artists, dealers, collectors, and art lovers.
