Behind the screens – 50 years of computer art at CODA museum
Behind the screens brings to mind nature and the meaning of visual art today. With the development and growth of digital art forms, many of the laws and customs of the art market appear to be outdated. After all, the original of a digital artwork consists of a succession of ones and zeros, but is rarely presented in that form. Moreover, traditional crafts are increasingly being combined with digital techniques. Such hybrid art forms – from plotter drawings, tapestries and websites to videos, software and murals – are all part of the Behind the screens exhibition curated by Els Drummen (1980) and Martijn Dijkstra.
