ArtHost

LIMA launches a worldwide unique service to save complex digital and online artworks.

On the opening day of the REBOOT exhibition, we examine the value of looking to the past in digital culture for future generations, take a closer look at the themes of the exhibition and take stock of urgent issues facing digital makers and artists today.

Cultural Matter: Jonas Lund

LIMA

Can contemporary art - and the production thereof - be optimized and automated? In 2013, the artist Jonas Lund made a solo exhibition based on this simple yet critical and challenging question. The Fear Of Missing Out, held at MAMA, Rotterdam, would become a landmark exhibition in which the algorithm played a leading role, a show that was of great influence on his later work. The works produced for The Fear Of Missing Out were not the direct result of Lund’s labour and ideas, but made by a computer algorithm written by him.
