Dreamscapes: digital art and spatial imagination exhibition by IOGINALITY and Xposed Gallery explores the convergence between architectural and digital spaces.

The exhibition opens the IOGINALITY programme to explore the convergence between architectural and digital spaces. Architecture is constantly reflecting technological advances. Data-driven research, 3D modelling, digital fabrication, the advent of large-format flat screens and augmented reality (AR) have made urban surfaces permeable to thought and imagination, contributing to an increasingly illusory perception of the urban environment. This is in stark contrast to the reality of ongoing segregation, no-go zones and the expansion of zones of control and surveillance.

Artists scrutinise these gaps, redrawing skylines and proposing alternative forms of living together. Contemporary digital art has transcended traditional museum frameworks, infiltrating urban landscapes, airport transit zones and storefronts, thereby establishing a dynamic relationship with the complex fabric of the city. A screen attached to a building or a projection in a gallery is a window that opens shutters into fictional spaces for urban dwellers.
