Heaven's Gate

About

Heaven's Gate by Marco Brambilla takes place at Outernet London, a new media and culture district at the centre of which is The Now Building, the most advanced immersive space in the world featuring 23,000 square feet of floor to ceiling, 360 degree,16K screens across four storeys. This state-of-the-art technology and immense scale make Outernet Arts Europe’s largest digital exhibition space.

From January 22nd and every Sunday 12pm-6pm until February 26th Heaven's Gate, a monumental new work by Brambilla will be on view for the first time in Europe. Heaven’s Gate presents the spectacle of the Hollywood dream factory as a panoramic video collage where we ascend through psychedelic landscapes of looping samples of iconic moments in cinematic history. The work at once celebrates and satirizes pop culture, engulfing the viewer in a hyper-saturation of imagery almost impossible to sustain.

arco Brambilla said: “I was initially approached to show this work in the space which led to my curating the Arts program. I was able to invite artists whose work I admire to show new works in this exciting recently launched space. I’m thrilled to be presenting Heaven’s Gate in a context which will embrace the spectacle intrinsic to the concept of the work and now also in its presentation.”

Outernet Arts unites an international network of both established and emerging artists through commissions investigating the intricate concept of ‘the media space; a platform in which artist-led projects prompt larger conversations around our lives in a world dominated by the digital era.
