“For those of us . . . wading rather than diving into art's new cyber-sphere, Frank Rose makes an excellent guide.” —The Atlantic

“Frank Rose was the perfect keynote. . . . His expertise, insight and thoughtful provocation really engaged the audience and brought brilliant context to the discussions of the day.”
—Anna Higgs, Film4
“Frank Rose's talk was spot on. It was fascinating, exciting and amusing. It sparked quite some debate during the following days of the festival and people still talk about it, so it was memorable, too.” —Mark Atkin, Crossover Summit at Sheffield Doc/Fest
