Scripture speaks of 200 leaders during the reign of King David who understood the times and knew what Israel should do (1 Chronicles 12:32). Today we have the same need for well-informed leaders – including artists – who also understand the times and know what to do. New ideas circulating and influencing our lives find new forms of artistic expression. This talk addresses some of the new emerging media arts and the ideas that inspire them, proposing a discussion on how we should relate to them in a post-Christian society.
