The first exhibition space for ever-changing digital art opened on Thursday at the Paris Courtyard in Budapest, focusing on the relationship between sacrality and digital art.
The Cinema Mystica art project aims to organize exhibitions every six months in the Párisi Courtyard (Párisi Udvar), showcasing new media artists from Hungary, and Central and Eastern Europe.
The first exhibition in the new gallery features digital artworks, ever-changing projected spaces, 3D printed sculptures, interactive experiences, and short films. More than 20 unique interactive installations are spread out over 1,200 square meters in 10 rooms, with artists from both home and abroad.
The majority of the artists are members of the Global Illumination community. The works seek to answer the questions of whether digital art can convey sacred content, whether technology can become subservient to a higher purpose, and how artificial intelligence can be applied to the production of transformative content.
According to the brochure,
immersion “refers to spaces, objects, and sequences of objects that can be entered or circumnavigated, where the visual and audio experience is achieved in three dimensions, making the viewer an active or passive participant in the work of art,
transcending the boundaries that classical art has been drawing for millennia.”
The show uses 85 projectors, five kilometers of cable, high-tech media servers, sensors, and special speakers and resonators,” the brochure quotes Dávid Vigh, artistic director of the exhibition space and curator of the exhibition, as saying that in the most complex installation, The Garden, 17 projectors are used, infrared cameras serve as sensors, the floor is interactive, and in the middle of the space there is a LED light installation, a tree of life.
The curator also highlighted the ChatGPT-based interactive multimedia installation, Aedan, which explores the interaction between artificial intelligence and human creativity, and by entering the sculpture’s sensory zone, you can ask the entity anything you like through a microphone. “The images mapped onto the sculpture create artificial intelligence-generated content based on the viewer’s textual instructions,” Vigh pointed out.
