From February, Outernet Arts’ curator Marco Brambilla will stage his VR and video art installation Heaven’s Gate for the first time in Europe.ĭotcom Seance is on view from October 16 through December 4, 2022, at Outernet Arts, The Now Building, Centre Point, London, every Sunday between 12 p.m.–6 p.m. The inaugural project by Simon Denny will be followed up by a VR reimagining of Hilma af Klint’s “The Temple” works, presented by Acute Art in December. The London venue is the first of a global roll out, with sites anticipated to open in Los Angeles, New York and Asia. The four-storey space, which will be open to the public for free, has immersive galleries kitted out with 23,000 square feet of floor-to-ceiling, wrap-around video screens.

In doing so, the work exposes the cyclical nature of trends and business strategies. A post shared by Simon Denny bringing these sites back to life, Denny prompts us to reimagine them in today’s context of Web3, which has sought to revive some romanticized features from the earliest years of the internet, before the supremacy of social media and Big Tech giants.
