A digital art exhibition and experimental curatorial platform developed by Karne Kunst to explore how artworks created natively in digital environments could be exhibited without reproducing the conventions of a physical gallery. Selected through an international open call focused on digital art and STEAM practices, the project brought together Linh Dao, ibz, Julia Vergazova & Nikolya Ulyanov, Perla Mata Chairez, and Victoria Lazcano de la Lastra & Carolina Boettner. Their works explored migration and memory, audio-reactive visualisation, machine learning and environmental relationships, digital archives and censorship, and interactive approaches to sound and time. The exhibition was presented in a purpose-built browser-based 3D environment designed and programmed by Lucas Dima, whose architecture was adapted to the technical and conceptual requirements of each artwork rather than attempting to replicate a conventional gallery space.
