The Printing the Revolution panelist discussion featured artist like Ester Hernandez, Juan Fuentes, and Zeke Pena who offered first hand experience with the way the art world has evolved to better distribute Chicanx art. The discussions taking place among the artists were about how they believed the advancement of technology has propelled the way art is distributed and how quickly the messages being conveyed in digital prints can now reach audiences across the globe. Ester Hernandez spoke about the way prints were only able to reach a certain amount of people before without having the hard work of being able to go and post them in other places outside the communities from which it originated. Now, luckily, social media has being a network of roadways and paths that connect people and carryout messages of social injustice, police brutality, radicalization, and social discrimination to other people around the world. Those individuals repost and resend these digital art prints and get push from people supporting the initiative through donations, reposting, critiquing, and relating to the struggles depicted by them. Along with the propelling of digital art into society, technology has allowed artwork's like Zeke Pena's to come to life in ways never seen before. In exhibitions across the world, with the help of mobile devices, artworks are given effects of dynamic movement that allow the audience to experience art like no other way possible. With the continuation of advancements like this, it is clear that the art world has hit a new era in which it will allow further developments and techniques that will push Chicanx artists to blossom into their full potential for unlimited audiences to see.
