The digital Age
Join the Digital Revolution with Castle Galleries castlegalleries.com
which allows visitors to access a wide selection of limited edition art. Advanced filters and search functions make browsing the entire collection of art effortless and allows the user to quickly access art which if of interest to them. Encompassing the portfolio of art is a wealth of articles, interviews and videos about the artist that create the works. This branches out into a collection of social media portals that explore not only artists represented by Castle Galleries but news from the wider world of contemporary fine art. But despite the advent of the digital gallery, there will never be a replacement for experiencing art in the environment for which it is created. From Renaissance churches and 17th century palaces to modern day public galleries and our homes, the tangible, physi- cal qualities of art which stir our emotions and enhance our life with their beauty and style will surely always be best experienced when viewing art on the wall. Matthew Slotover, who in collaboration with Amanda Sharp, founded the world-famous Frieze empire, agrees. “The basic model of artists needing commercial galleries to help them sell art has
been around for over 100 years, and I don't think it's going to change. Fairs have taken on more prominence in the last 10 years or so and I don't see that changing either, because the art world has globalized to such an extent that you can't be everywhere and see everything. Also, as things get more virtual, people need more physical experiences as well”. Alone, very few works of art change the world or the way we see it, but through digital technol- ogy, people now have more op- portunity than ever before to view, discuss, explore and interact with art. Perhaps the digital revolution is gradually finishing what the great precursors of the Modernist Movement started – a Movement which affirms the progressive power of human beings to create, improve, and reshape their environment through knowledge and technology. If this means combining the traditional gallery environment with a virtual world which gives everyone, everywhere access to the art which interests them, we are the first to welcome the next revolution in art.
