Returning for its second year at the British Art Fair, Digitalism is showcasing pioneering artists pushing the boundaries of contemporary art through technology. This section features cutting-edge works across AI, AR, VR, digital sculpture, moving image, photography and painting.
The short film I’m showing focuses on my long term interest in liminal spaces, merging clips of beaches, fields, motorways and business parks. I’m interested in transitional zones such as motorway services where one doesn’t stop but merely passes through. The drab contemporary reality of a once aspirational concept of progress. I still kind of view ‘big England’ through a 1970’s/80’s lens.
The billboards are still relentlessly selling cheap dreams.
A Life Spent Trying to Find Something’ - to blink, to glimpse, to squint, to catch from the eye-corner the illusion dream of escapism. The grey meditation of motorway travel, emptying the mind. Seeking escapism for the intractable reality of work. Never escaping the short loop. I won’t ever find whatever ill-defined destination I’m trying to reach.
Presenting British art since 1988, British Art Fair takes place once a year to showcase the very finest Modern British and Contemporary Art. Set within the iconic Saatchi Gallery in the heart of London’s vibrant Chelsea, leading dealers from across the UK exhibit a variety of exciting, ambitious and rare works from Britain’s most celebrated artists. British Art Fair is the place to connect with dealers and collect the very best pieces in Modern and Contemporary British art.
Why digital art matters – and why now
‘In our current world, digital tools are integral to how we live, connect and create. Artists born into a digitally saturated environment are producing work that is native to these spaces. Digitalism embraces connection, collaboration and co-creation. Art has always responded to societal and technological change, and Digitalism is no exception.
It's not just about art. It’s about how we learn, communicate, protest and play – a new lens through which to view the world’.
Rebecca Tolley, Digitalism Curator.
