Digitally Disturbed – Moving image artworks: Nordic Outbreak at DAC

Exhibition

Oct 11 - Oct 20, 2013

Part of Nordic Outbreak, Digitally Disturbed – Moving image artworks at the Danish Architecture Center in 2013 featured a façade installation, digital projections and video installations by eight Nordic artists on the digital city.

Digital technologies play a major role in shaping and orchestrating our urban surroundings. The digital city witnesses new connections between art and architecture, and between everyday life, information and technology. The digital world merges with the analogue and releases new options for both our development and that of the city.
