ABOUT E.A.T. SPATIAL

E.A.T. Spatial is a gallery format experiment created as a Fused Reality, which in this case – is a tied-to-the-physical-site digital gallery departing from ICIA’s art space on Ringön in Gothenburg, Sweden. This fused format creates a semi-physical site-specific digital experience for the viewers to share views and ambiance. This platform developed by Studio Alight is part of the greater project, E.A.T. hub [Experiments in Art and Technology] which is a collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Ideas and Art (ICIA). E.A.T. aims to practice across the borders of art and technology where we may discover and learn from these seemingly separate fields while working iteratively and evolving continuously.

This exhibition platform is not static. E.A.T.Spatial is and was continuously developed as the MANIPULATIONS exhibition ran and will be happening during any future exhibition. The rendition of E.A.T. Spatial included for the MANIPULATIONS exhibition had multiple ports of entries and multiple experimentations in interaction levels. The virtual hub experiment created social engagements through digital space and enacted a digital twin of ICIA. While the Fused Reality experiment blends the ways we can visit, can view and can perceive works of art. It, also, provides a space for multiple "eyes" gathered into one "point of view." And begins to ask if we were to surveil our digital world together what may we shift within us?

We invite anyone to contact Studio Alight for potential experiments, labs, tests, plays, tries, collaborations and manipulations. We would be happy to start conversations up for potential future exhibitions.
