about

At the occasion of la quinzaine numérique, Transcultures launched the spamm.be platform (in partnership with spamm.fr – Super Art Modern Museum), a web place dedicated for new art forms using the network as a creative material, accompanied by a critical corpus.

A first selection of introductory works (co-curation: systaime, digital artist, founder of spamm.fr )was proposed at the Maison du Peuple and the Maison des Cultures de Saint-Gilles. This didactic exhibition was framed by Jacques Urbanska (art-numeriques.info) with his matrix <iframes> (which allows, through a series of web “windows” to aggregate and present automatically Web content).

For this edition, Transcultures will focus its awards on the GIF and its animated images, (usually in a loop). Back to the earlier Web, the GIFs were very simple. In a late 2000s, a new generation of artists has emerged and promoted GIFs as a work of art in itself. Lately, GIF works have bee part of multiple online exhibitions, but also, exhibitions in contemporary art galleries. Transcultures is especially interested by the relation the art of GIF generates as meeting points of a certain culture which it became, if not the emblem, in any case the exercise of style…
