About the exhibition
Works
Digital works by more than 50 artists unfold as luminous compositions of light, movement and sound.

Realisation
After Basquiat’s death in 1988, roughly 35 years passed before technology made the project feasible; the Berlin exhibition now brings together around 80 artists.
Artists

Digital art
What is digital art — and why now?
Digital art is created with the computer as its medium: from particle simulations and generative art through 3D and motion design to AI-assisted works. In place of canvas and frame come light, movement, sound and real time — art that never looks exactly the same twice and constantly reinvents itself.
New possibilities for artists
- No physical limits: works can be room-filling, interactive and alive.
- Generated in real time — every sequence is unique and never repeats exactly.
- A young, global medium: a stage for emerging artists.
- AI and technology as a tool — creative control stays with the human.
New possibilities for visitors
- Art becomes an immersive experience you step into, rather than just look at.
- Emotional, surprising and shareable — an exhibition visit you remember.
- Accessible to everyone: no prior knowledge, eight worlds in 90 minutes.
- A museum for digital art you don’t walk through, but experience.
This is exactly where P61 Gallery comes in: a museum for digital art in Berlin that makes this new art form visible, tangible and open to everyone.
