Digital Worlds Exhibition Opens at Museo Centro Gaiás, Exploring the Line Between Physical and Virtual

The Fundación Telefónica survey brings more than 80 works from a dozen countries to Santiago through August 30.

Overview

  • The exhibition opened on February 4 and is free to enter, with the first guided visits scheduled for February 6 and 8 and limited capacity.
  • After drawing about 95,000 visitors during a five‑month run in Madrid and traveling to Lima, the project begins its Spanish tour in Santiago.
  • Notable installations include Marc Lee’s real‑time city data piece and Solimán López’s Bounding Box, a light cube that responds when visitors cross its virtual boundary.
  • The show spans from optical devices and early cinema to videogames, digital twins such as the Tuvalu Metaverse, and augmented reality works that modify faces.
  • Regional officials linked the opening to Galicia’s digital‑arts strategy, with equipment bidding for the planned Centro Gallego de Artes Digitales slated to start in March.
