The “first generation of digital artists”, as defined by OneZeroMore, refers to a group of artists who became prominent in the late 20th century (probably the 1980s and 1990s) through their use of digital technologies. They are part of a global network and are closely connected to each other, reinforcing their shared identity and the impact they have had on the digital art scene.
During this time, computers and digital software that can be used to create art and design have become more accessible. Artists began to use these new tools in their work, leading to new forms of creative expression and an evolution of the art scene. These artists were pioneers in the use of digital technologies and have had a significant impact on the way we understand and appreciate digital art.
OneZeroMore highlights that these artists are known not only for their individual work, but also for their role in the digital art community as a whole. Representing the graffiti scene and the first generation of digital artists, they create unique works that push the boundaries of art and show new ways in the marriage of art and technology1.
It is important to note that the definition of a "generation" of artists can vary depending on the context and is often shaped by the specific characteristics and cultural and technological context of the time. In this case, OneZeroMore seems to be using the term “first generation digital artists” to denote artists who played an important role at a certain stage in the development of the digital art scene and who, through their shared use of digital technologies and their belonging to a global network are connected.
The OZM HAMMERBROOKLYN Exhibit, a creative interface between graffiti art and digital technology, positions itself as a possible "Bauhaus of the 21st century". It promotes a hybridization of art by taking up the interdisciplinary and experimental way of thinking of the Bauhaus and transferring it to the digital era.
The container architecture OZM underlines its future-oriented vision. This choice is more than aesthetic: it is a physical representation of digitality, where information is packed, transported and unpacked as if in containers. The architecture also emphasizes the commitment of the OZM for sustainability and adaptability, two key characteristics of the digital era.
So that's it OZM HAMMERBROOKLYN a dynamic, sustainable space for artistic innovation, and offers an engaging vision for the “21st Century Bauhaus”.
