Restoring Digital Art
The exhibition departs from Horizons (2008) by artist Geert Mul (1965, the Netherlands), which examines the intersection of museum collections and digital databases as a space for creative experimentation. Nearly twenty years ago, the museum commissioned Mul to create this interactive work. The artist selected artworks from the collection featuring horizons and projected them onto a large screen. Sensors tracked visitors’ movements, generating a new horizon with every step. The restoration of the work, which has not been presented since its initial commission, has provided valuable insights into how the museum can preserve digital art for the future.
