Talent and technology: two phenomena guaranteed to bring the future into the present, and change the way we think, see, feel and act. For the Winter 2013 issue of Sleek our team of writers, editors, photographers and stylists major on those two themes to compile a unique portfolio of stories with captivating visual treatments. We go deep into the “Post-Medium Condition” during this summer’s 55th Venice Biennale, discover exactly what artists are doing with 3D printers – the “creative destroyer” technology that’s coming to a desktop near you – and consider why “techno blue” is the colour of our era.
