DUBAI DESIGN DISTRICT (D3)<br />

Dubai Design District (d3), is delighted to<br />

welcome you to the ninth edition of the Global<br />

Art Forum. Technology is an integral part of<br />

our everyday lives, whether we are working or<br />

playing. By exploring the relationship between<br />

art, culture and technology, we can predict<br />

future trends and identify barriers that are<br />

currently hindering growth of the creative<br />

industries.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

We believe this conversation is vital to the<br />

development of the art and design industry,<br />

it is also central to our vision of nurturing<br />

and facilitating the growth of the sector. The<br />

idea behind establishing a dedicated ‘home of<br />

design’ in Dubai, is to provide an innovative<br />

community that is able to foster and nurture<br />

growth of the region’s design, fashion, art and<br />

luxury talent for the benefit of the industry and<br />

the wider consumer base.<br />

By understanding the interplay between art,<br />

culture and technology, we can ensure that<br />

artists and designers have the opportunity to<br />

become part of this evolution, so that they may<br />

innovate their designs and assemble a strategy<br />

for the benefit of their business, and the wider<br />

economy.
