Art & Science: Boxels
On the occasion of
the panel "Digital Transformations - Society and Arts at the Turning Point", students and alumni of the Art&Science Department
at the University of Applied Arts Vienna are presenting their works in a conceptual setup which traverses the analog physical
world to develop insights into challenges, opportunities and problems of new technologies and digitality.
In
uniform frames, miniature versions of works, thoughts, zipped projects and fragments of practices are contained and
presented both in the physical and the digital realm. While further information about the works is only accessible by those
who possess a device capable of accessing the internet, the observation of the physical works is limited by the viewers ability
to access the site at the right time. Being in the room and on the internet at the same time, the presented pieces enter a
twofold existence Ð they are sections, references, squeezed into an acrylic and online environment. The pieces, each different
in nature and restricted by format, ultimately turn into "voxels", scattered around, leaving it to the viewer to correlate
their individual interpretation and place them in a virtual grid of their own imagination.
