EMERGING VOICES PAY TRIBUTE TO THE TIMELESS LEGENDS OF ART
Artistic expression is a continuum, where each era builds upon the foundation laid by those who came before. By showcasing the evolution of art, we celebrate the journey of creativity across time.
​
This Accelerate Art series of exhibits, sponsored by Metacampus, invites visitors to explore how emerging digital artists interpret and extend the legacy of their predecessors, underscoring the ever-changing nature of artistic expression.
​
CONTINUUM not only enriches the artistic landscape but also aims to foster a dynamic environment by:
​
✓ Celebrating artistic legacy
✓ Bridging generations
✓ Inspiring creativity
✓ Enhancing art education
✓ Engaging art enthusiasts
✓ Preserving cultural heritage
✓ Stimulating artistic dialogue
​
Through CONTINUUM we aim to benefit legendary artists’ legacy, emerging artists’ careers and the broader cultural and artistic landscape.
The first edition of CONTINUUM took place during GM Barcelona! from September 27-29, 2023.
The digital art exhibit showcased a selection of 20 curated pieces from artists who were given the task of creating an original piece inspired by the life and work of Salvador Dalí.
Encouraging diversity in interpretations while maintaining a connection to the original artist is a crucial aspect of the exhibit concept. This approach ensures that the new artworks created by emerging artists both pay homage to the legendary artist and also reflect the individuality and creativity of each participant.
