The Path To The Present

Expanded Art

July 2 to September 7 2024

Exhibition of 20 artworks of NAKED FLAMES

On view will be, among others, plotter drawings, generative photography, sculptures, and NFTs from about 30 international artists, such as Jennifer & Kevin McCoy, who invented NFTs in 2014, and Herbert W. Franke, who was one of the most influential artists working in the field of art and technology from the 1950s onwards. As early as 1957, Franke proved in his book entitled ART AND CONSTRUCTION that technology “opens up undreamed-of new artistic territory.”

Franke and generations of artists have consistently explored new territory with analytical methods and the assistance of machines for over 70 years, looking into the future of digital art until they arrived in the metaverse.
