Curatorial context

‘Intangibles. Una exposición digital de la Colección Telefónica’ was an innovative and experimental project that responded to the challenges posed by the digital revolution. It invited visitors to question the nature of art exhibitions in a world transformed by technology, exploring whether it's possible to be moved by art without the physical presence of the artwork. The exhibition featured reinterpretations of works by significant artists from the Telefónica Collection, including Joaquín Torres García, Roberto Matta, Juan Gris, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Eduardo Chillida, María Blanchard, and Antoni Tàpies. Each piece was reimagined through a variety of digital technologies, such as VR, photogrammetry, videomapping, 3D modeling, advanced software for image analysis, and digital painting. The exhibition aimed to stimulate a reflection on how digital advancements influence our approach to art, its physical and sensory boundaries, and the traditional criteria of appreciation. By leveraging technology, the project sought to enrich the viewer's experience, provoke active participation, and open new avenues for understanding artists and their works, demonstrating technology's potential to amplify artistic sensations and foster deeper knowledge.
