Lenovo and Intel’s branded content series, ‘Brave New Art,’ has made a triumphant return with season 2 on Disney+ Hotstar. The creative force behind the series is FCB Kinnect, and this season promises to be even braver than before, pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation across diverse art forms.
A Fusion of Artists Across Mediums
The series brings together artists from various disciplines to forge a unique creative fusion. The focus is on being ‘braver’ in every aspect, from the selection of diverse art mediums and edgy artists to storytelling, production, and the awe-inspiring final results.
Uniting Indian Artists
This season challenges four Indian artists, each master in their respective disciplines, to combine their creative styles and elevate their art to unexplored heights. The first episode features Gopika Sukumaran, a Kalaripayattu martial artist, and Vinay Hedge, a Tilt Brush artist, who kick off the series.
Envisioning the Future of Art with Technology
The second episode showcases digital artist Siddhant Gandhi and AI artist Madhav Kohli as they tackle the unprecedented task of envisioning a museum 500 years into the future. Using Intel-powered Lenovo Yoga laptops, each exhibit in the virtual museum pushes the limits of creativity, seamlessly fusing art and technology.
