The New Sublime – Digital Art Gallery
The New Sublime is an ambitious, artist-led exhibition showing work by 11 emerging and established digital artists.
“The self, terrible and constant, is for me, the subject matter of painting” – Barnett Newman
Running throughout Brighton Digital Festival at Clearleft’s new building, 68 Middle Street, The New Sublime is an ambitious, artist-led exhibition showing work by 11 emerging and established digital artists including Alex May, James Alliban, Kate Genevieve, Evan Boehm and the Fortunecats.
Digital Art is in its infancy and, whilst the boundaries of technology are ever expanding, the questions for artists continue along the lines of: “what is it really for?” and “how does it feel?”. This show includes painting, sculpture, installations (interactive and otherwise), performance and video work, all of it exploring the new artistic possibilities presented by digital technology.
The gallery is a large, modern space near the centre of town and represents an exciting contribution to Brighton’s burgeoning position as an international centre for digital art.
Organised in collaboration with Brighton University, Fabrica, Joseph Norman and Matt Pearson.
Supported by Clearleft, Arts Council England and Moshimo.
