A Digital Space, Reimagined**
English version
The traditional exhibition space is defined by its limitations. It is bound by four walls, located in a specific city, and accessible only during finite hours. This “white cube” has served as a neutral vessel for physical art, and it has served that purpose well. But what happens when the art itself is no longer bound to the physical?
The internet is the antithesis. It is an exhibition space without walls, without geography, and without a clock. It is not a place one visits; it is an ecosystem one enters. Here, art does not hang; it lives. It is no longer frozen in time but can be ever-changing, interactive, and in direct dialogue with its audience.
This fundamental difference transforms not only the space, but the art itself. When the environment is as fluid as the work it contains, the space ceases to be a neutral vessel and becomes an active component of the work. The website is no longer just a window to the art; it is the canvas.
For digital art, this is not an alternative; it is a homecoming. This is the medium’s native tongue.
