Delve into the world of digital art with an exclusive interview featuring the innovative artist, Vladimir Duban. In this engaging discussion, we explore the evolving landscape of digital art, the inspiration behind Duban’s online exhibition “WORMS AND TENSION,” and the impact of technology on the future of artistic expression.
Vladimir shares his insights and advice for emerging digital artists looking to curate their own online exhibitions, offering a glimpse into the exciting possibilities of the digital medium in the digital age.
Interviewer: Let’s start with the basics. What inspired you to make “WORMS AND TENSION” as an online exhibition?
Vladimir Duban: Well, the inspiration came from a desire to explore the boundaries of digital art and reach a global audience. The online format allows artists like myself to break free from physical constraints and share our work with people from all over the world. It’s a way to democratise art, making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Interviewer: What, in your opinion, are the advantages of presenting digital art online compared to traditional gallery exhibitions?
Vladimir Duban: Online exhibitions offer several advantages. First and foremost, they remove the geographical barriers that often limit artists and viewers. With an online exhibition, anyone, regardless of their location, can experience the art. This widens the reach and potential impact of the work.
Additionally, online exhibitions provide a dynamic and interactive experience. Viewers can explore the art at their own pace, zooming in to examine details or stepping back for a broader perspective. Digital art can also incorporate multimedia elements, adding sound, animation, or even interactivity, which can be more challenging to achieve in a physical gallery.
Interviewer: How do you see the role of technology in shaping the future of digital art and online exhibitions?
Vladimir Duban: Technology is at the heart of digital art, and it’s continually evolving. Artists have access to powerful digital tools and platforms that enable them to push the boundaries of creativity. As technology advances, so does the potential for innovation in digital art.
For online exhibitions, technology plays a crucial role in delivering a seamless and engaging experience to viewers. Virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive platforms offer exciting possibilities for artists to create immersive digital environments that can’t be replicated in a physical space.
Interviewer: Your exhibition also featured a public talk on the influence of colour in modern art. Can you elaborate on why discussions like these are important in the context of online exhibitions?
Vladimir Duban: Absolutely. Public talks and discussions are a vital component of online exhibitions. They provide an opportunity for artists to connect with their audience on a deeper level, sharing insights, inspirations, and the thought processes behind their work.
In the case of the “WORMS AND TENSION” exhibition, the discussion about colour in modern art allowed us to engage with viewers on a conceptual level. Colour is a powerful tool in art, and it’s essential to explore how it influences emotions, perceptions, and the overall message of a piece. Such discussions enrich the viewer’s experience and encourage them to think critically about the art they are encountering.
Interviewer: In closing, what advice would you give to emerging digital artists who aspire to curate their own online exhibitions?
Vladimir Duban: My advice would be to embrace technology as a creative tool and to experiment fearlessly. The digital medium offers endless possibilities for expression. Also, collaborate with others in the digital art community; learn from their experiences, and don’t be afraid to seek mentorship. Finally, curating an online exhibition requires thoughtful planning and effective use of digital platforms, so invest time in understanding how to present your work in the most engaging way possible.
Interviewer: Thank you, Vladimir, for sharing your insights on the significance of online exhibitions for digital artists. Your exhibition “WORMS AND TENSION” is a testament to the exciting opportunities that digital art offers in the digital age.
Vladimir Duban: It was my pleasure. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this exciting topic. I hope it inspires more artists to explore the digital medium and curate their own online exhibitions.
