" by Alessia Pittaccio. March 02 - May 23 2023.<br>The gif depicts an
ironic reinterpretation of the performance "Rest Energy" by Marina
Abramovic and Ulay. It symbolizes the relationship between artists and
technology, where artificial intelligence both threatens and empowers
them. On one hand it can potentially replace and therefore kill the
artists, on the other hand it can literally make its way into the
artists' heart.<br></div>The interactive and non-linear narrative artwork is here: <a href="https://youtu.be/68YTN2qNZvY" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/68YTN2qNZvY</a><br><br>About the WAG<br><br>Due
to our needs that seem to be increasingly handheld, the WAG was born in
2008 as OSX Widget and launched as WebApp in 2009! The Widget Art
Gallery is a single art-gallery-room fitting into people's pockets.
Every two months, the WAG hosts a solo digital-art exhibition related to
its dynamic site-specific context.<br>The WAG works both as a kunsthall
showing temporary exhibitions and also as a museum conserving all the
past shows inside an online and dynamic archive working as a permanent
collection.
