At the vanguard of digital art

Digitisation has reached the world of art, and more and more museums are making space for this very 21st-century trend. These are some of the most important museums in which creativity and the latest technologies share space in harmony.

  1. 1 Deus Ex Machina at LABoral Centre of Art and Industrial Creation, Gijón

    In D3US EX M4CH1NA. Art and Artificial Intelligence the Asturias-based institution explores the union of machinery and deity in an artificial entity to which we give authority. A selection of works by contemporary artists such as Memo Akten, Harold Cohen and Jake Elwes invites the public to reflect on expectations and fears that intelligent machines might know everything there is and predict what will happen.

    Learn about the collaborative function between machines and humans by flying to Asturias from 4,500 Avios one way.
