Gallery Visu Contemporary ENCODED: ART WITH NO BOUNDARIES — Pushing the Frontiers of Art and Techn ologThe collaboration between VISU Contemporary and bitforms gallery presents ENCODED: ART WITH NO BOUNDARIES, a groundbreaking exhibition that delves into the intersection of art, technology, and human perception. Running from December 4, 2024, to January 18, 2025, the exhibition showcases how contemporary artists are breaking the limits of traditional art forms, blending code, light, motion, and interaction into their creative processes. This innovative exhibit brings together visionary artists like Bjorn Schulke, Refik Anadol, Daniel Rozin, and Daniel Canogar, each using cutting-edge technology to redefine artistic expression. Works range from Schulke’s kinetic sculptures, powered by ambient light, to Anadol’s mesmerizing interactive video installations, which invite visitors to become part of the art itself. This immersive experience blurs the lines between creator, viewer, and artwork. Other key highlights include Manfred Mohr, a pioneer in generative art, whose historical works from the 1970s will be on display, offering a fascinating contrast with more recent digital innovations. Marina Zurkow’s prints from her Crucible series explore the tension between personal experience and global environmental shifts, while artists like Alex Reben and Siebren Versteeg showcase the potential of algorithms as new-age “paintbrushes,” creating art in constant flux. While the exhibition embraces modern technologies, many of the works pay homage to historic art movements. For instance, Schulke’s mechanical sculptures are reminiscent of Dadaist and Constructivist explorations, while the participatory elements of the exhibit draw inspiration from the Fluxus and Happenings movements of the 1960s. Similarly, the digital algorithm-based pieces echo the evolution of Abstract Expressionism and Conceptual Art. This cutting-edge exhibition challenges the viewer to contemplate the role of technology as not just a tool, but a creative partner. As visitors navigate through the gallery, they will encounter art that responds to their presence, evolves over time, and even exists at the edge of human and machine collaboration. ENCODED: ART WITH NO BOUNDARIES pushes the boundaries of art itself, offering an exciting glimpse into the future while honoring the timeless desire to create and interact with the world around us.
