From Spark to Pixel. Art + New Media

Venue: Martin-Gropius-Bau
28 October 2007 to 14 January 2008

While I am doing Re:Place, I found this exhibition very interesting, some really inspiring works presented. There will be very little chance that this kind of work will be presented in Hong Kong, because of the scale and our venue management over-consideration on safety too.

The “From Spark to Pixel” exhibition will present developments in contemporary art involving the large-scale use of digital and interactive media. The technical possibilities in this field have given this area of art a more international dimension than that of almost any other. Thus the exhibition will feature works both by renowned and as yet unknown artists and groups of artists from all over the world. Works by pioneers and works that are being shown in Europe or Germany for the first time or have been specially developed for the Martin-Gropius-Bau, will enable visitors to discover spectacular forms of artistic expression and radical changes in perception in the relation between the observer and the moving image. Immersive and interactive approaches feature frequently in the artists’ strategies.
