#artoffline
Street Date: February 13, 2018
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Are technology and the internet changing the art world forever?
In the timely and revealing documentary, #artoffline - an Official Selection at the Rotterdam International Film Festival - director Manuel Correa documents the crisis facing the contemporary art world. Can the internet change the way art is controlled in terms of reception, production and distribution? Leading artists, curators, philosophers and art critics interviewed believe that endless reproduction liberates artwork from a muddled marketplace and an undemocratic exhibition circuit, while wondering whether the urge for physical objects is just a nostalgic fetishism. During #artoffline, it becomes apparent that despite enormous resistance, digital technologies have effectively transformed the experience of art forever. Shot in Vancouver and in Berlin during the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, this provocative documentary takes audiences behind the scenes, and inside the ideas that are already shaping the art of tomorrow.
