How have people been interacting with the GIF\u2019s in the exhibition?<\/strong><\/p>\nWe’ve had an incredible response. Using your phone is usually prohibited in a gallery. What we have found is by making people use their phones for a specific purpose, it has created more social interaction. People sharing screens, chatting while the app downloaded taking photos of people taking photos etc. It\u2019s been really amazing to watch how the technology has really brought people together. It a new kind of interaction and it\u2019s created a new kind of art-viewing behaviour.<\/p>\n
Does that mean you think that GIF\u2019s have the ability to engage more than traditional artworks do with an observer in our current digital (3 second attention span) climate?<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is room for everything, we are offering a unique way of viewing a relatively new art medium and are really excited by the possibilities of how this can evolve and where digital art is going to head. A lot is said about peoples attention spans but if something is good, if it\u2019s honest and it connects with people, they will give it time. A lot of our \u2018scan\u2019 culture can be put down to the fact that so much of what we see isn\u2019t really worth looking at. Digital art can be critical of all of this and encourage us to question our digital habits and the new norms that are developing.<\/p>\n
So we might see a transition in the way we absorb art?<\/strong><\/p>\nI thinks it\u2019s about time the traditional art world had a bit of a shakeup! What the Internet has provided is a platform where there are no rules \u2013 everyone who has an idea or a voice can participate without the weight of precedent and history. The \u2018net\u2019 aesthetic is developing but yet to be defined. It can be anything from chic to absurd, which is something we tried to reflect in the title of the exhibition and the artwork itself \u2018Everything All At Once\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
