PHOTOS: Hungary’s first digital exhibition place opens in Budapest downtown
On 7 July, Hungary’s first immersive, digital art exhibition space, Cinema Mystica, opened in Budapest’s Párisi Udvar.
Turizmus.com took part in the press visit on 6 July. “This exhibition is a fusion of digital art and sacrality”, said Dávid Vigh, artistic director of Cinema Mystica and curator of the exhibition.
The following questions will be answered by the spectacle: Can digital art be visionary? Can it convey sacred content? Can technology become subservient to a higher purpose? How can artificial intelligence be applied to the production of transformative content?
The exhibition is immersive because it takes the visitor on a sensory journey through the world of light, sound and graphics. In the context of the exhibition, immersion also refers to the spaces, objects and series of objects that can be entered or circumnavigated, where the visual and aural experience is 360°, three-dimensional.
There are 20 interactive digital art installations in 10 rooms in the exhibition space, turizmus.com writes. Cinema Mystica’s artists include both local and foreign creators. Most of them are members of the Global Illumination community.
At the press visit, it was stated that Cinema Mystica will be more than just an exciting and unique attraction in the city centre. In the long term, they want it to be a digital workspace for artists, a platform, a hub where they can talk about art, digitalisation, new technologies.
