Because artworks don't all hang on walls,
Because walls are not all straight,
Because the artist's first right is to be able to make a living from his art,
Because digital art is the discovery of new worlds,
Because a parallel world is better explored with a guide,
Because when is guided the public bacomes actor of its experience,
Because an immersive experience is the essence of dream,
Because we dream of a museum without borders nor limits,
Because we support a project of a museum that is open and green,
Because being open to the world is the essence of art,
Because digital art becomes alive through virtual reality,
Because what is virtual today will become real tomorrow.
Gate22 is a cyber-Museum of Digital Arts and Design in virtual reality founded in 2020.
Why digital? Because it is a medium that has been taking an increasingly important part in the art world for last thirty years, and we can assume that digital artists will be more and more numerous tomorrow, and that the intangible content created will be exponentially. This is where virtual reality comes in! Rather than trying in vain to present digital works in our material world, virtual reality will allow a direct encounter between the public and these creations, using the right technologies, finally making it possible to transcend them and take them into the light of public attention, in the same way as a "material" work in a physical space.
Gate22 has 3 main missions:
- Promote and popularize digital art to a wide audience, on a global scale, by creating a new museum space,
- Offer the public unprecedented experiences by defying the laws of physics, allowing them to explore other realities,
- Create an ecosystem favorable to the development of digital art, offer new generation artists a framework and an opportunity to exhibit their works in good conditions, as well as remuneration for their work by promoting artistic production.
