Conversations | Immersive Installations? Digital Experiences in the Exhibition
Art Basel Miami Beach 2021, December 4
Developments in digital technology have seen exhibition spaces welcoming increasingly large-scale, interactive and immersive installations. Beyond the initial spectacle in space, what strategies are artists using to transport viewers? From the perspectives of artists or the newly established Superblue, Miami, this panel considers what such installations reveal about technology’s growing influence on reality. Can these works also raise awareness around the politics of algorithms, digital access and technology’s impact on ecology?
