Deep Screen – Art in Digital Culture presents contemporary works of art which are all in some way marked by today’s digital culture. The jury, chaired by guest curator Andreas Broeckmann, has selected 18 artists out of the 200-plus submissions.

With:
Mark Bain, Pierre Bastien, Persijn Broersen, Margit Lukacs, Driessens & Verstappen, David Jablonowski, jodi, Gabriel Lester, Meiya Lin, Erica van Loon, Luna Maurer, Nathaniel Mellors, Geert Mul, Marnix de Nijs, Edwin van der Heide, Gert-Jan Prins, Remko Scha, Arthur Elsenaar, Roland Schimmel, jochem van der spek, Jasmijn Visser

The increasing digitalisation of our culture has consequences for the arts. We take instant photos with our cell phones, pick out the shots we want in the blink of an eye on the computer screen, and create our own version of reality using Photoshop and iPhoto. The influence on the visual art world is apparent in the temporary nature of the images used and the centrality of process, repetition and change.

The submissions range from paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and installations right through to video artworks and generative software art. However diverse the media employed, all the works reveal how visual imaginations and artistic perceptions are changing in today’s digital age.
