About
TAEX presents a one-day exhibition at Outernet London of unique artworks from the Continuum collection by the renowned artist Krista Kim during Digital Art Week.
Continuum is a digital Zen landscape created by Krista Kim in response to the disconnection and distraction pervading society today due to technology overuse. Krista sought to transform digital screens into spaces for mindfulness rather than distraction.
The artwork consists of subtle gradients on the screens that gradually shift over time, creating an ever-evolving tranquil scene. Krista’s inspiration came from her time spent in the serene Ryoanji Temple Garden in Kyoto combined with seeing the potential of digital interfaces as portals to peace.
Krista Kim’s intention is for Continuum to serve as a bridge between digital and human - a place for us to reconnect with our presence and tranquillity. This guided meditation we are about to embark on is meant to transport us into that state.
Krista Kim is a contemporary artist and a founder of the Techism movement. Having an interest in both digital and physical realms she developed her signature technique that involves a wide range of media including digital software, light, video, glass and plexi. Kim focuses on the concept of digital consciousness and the effects produced by digital technology on human perception, media, social structures, and communication.
Digital Art Week centres on bringing digital experiences to life in exciting spaces and iconic locations. Powered by NextGen technologies, we bring brand storytelling to life through experiential digital arts.
TAEX is a curated digital art platform that is building a new community whose aspirations spread beyond the material. We showcase and co-produce works by leading artists with critical acclaim, selected by curators with academic backgrounds. Together with like-minded individuals, who believe that the central value in art is created by exciting ideas and expertise, not media hype, we work to reform the art scene.
Screening of the Continuum will happen every hour.
