Celebrating its fifth year in London, Gazelli Art House is excited to announce the launch of its digital residency platform GAZELL.IO.
Launching on the 26th of October, GAZELL.IO is a unique new initiative by Gazelli Art House, which offers digital artists a four-week online residency- a new way for both artist and audience to experience digital artwork. Reaching beyond the physical space of the gallery, Gazelli Art House’s digital platform will encapsulate the gallery’s commitment to digital art, education and interactivity.
As well as working with established artists in the fields of sculpture, installation, photography and painting, the gallery supports a strong network of digital media artists whose specialities include moving image, games, interactive art, software and Internet art. Harnessing this talent, moving forward the platform will host residencies from some of the pioneers of the digital art world including Google’s Aaron Koblin, Recycle Group, Aziz + Cucher & Yoonjin Jung as well as some exciting new projects from artists who will be selected and invited to display their work.
The first open digital space to be developed by a commercial contemporary gallery, GAZELL.IO will be accessible for both artist and audience. It aims to provide digital artists with unrestricted access to a virtual gallery space in which they can code their online universe, showcase their artistic journey and directly interact with their audience. For audiences- who are now increasingly engaged by digital art practice- the initiative will provide the opportunity to experience the artist’s world and freely navigate through an intuitive, immersive and interactive digital space. Notably, GAZELL.IO intends to play an important role in marking the key developments and achievements of both the artists it hosts and the wider digital art world as it evolves and therefore will reinforce the gallery’s commitment to supporting developing art forms.
