Descripción de la Exposición
Computer-generated simulations, virtual realities, or digital networked platforms, from cyberspace to metaverse, aren’t fictitious locations of science fiction literature any more. Their importance and role increasingly qualify them comparable to real spaces. Information technology propels the proliferation of immaterial spheres that become legitimate parallel dimensions of our perception, expression, experience, knowledge, communication, and analysis, where real and virtual are no binary opposition any more, for which the three-dimensional notion of space should be revised.
The exhibition Spatial Affairs aims to investigate the relation and interdependence of physical and digital presence via Modern, Conceptual and Contemporary works of art and manifestos. Confrontation with the achievements of science and technology and their social impact though the notion of space unites pre- and post-computational artistic approaches featured in the exhibition. Independent from their medium, they point out the entanglement of the palpably real and intangibly digital.
