The walls are red with all the squiggly figures in orange and red. There are two silhouettes of people standing in front of the screens and stretching towards them. In the centre is a statue of a head on a black plinth.

What does nature mean in a world that is becoming ever more digital? And how do we look at the world around us now that climate change shows just how fragile nature really is? In Digital by Nature, pioneer of digital art Miguel Chevalier takes you into a world where technology and nature meet and, surprisingly, strengthen one another.

More than looking at art

Many of the works in the exhibition are interactive. Algorithms generate images that are constantly changing, partly in response to the movements of visitors. Music, movement and image flow together. Some installations are accompanied by compositions by Jacopo Baboni Schilingi. Technology creates art, as in the case of a robot that makes drawings on the spot.

At the same time, Chevalier’s work is firmly connected to art history. He brings an age-old theme into the present: the landscape, and nature as a mirror of humanity. This is also a central theme in Museum de Fundatie’s permanent collection. In this way, a conversation emerges between past and present, between analogue and digital, between what grows and what is made.
 

Largest solo exhibition in Europe

This exhibition is Miguel Chevalier’s largest solo exhibition in Europe to date. It brings together around 120 works from every phase of his career, from early computer works and works made with the help of AI to large interactive installations in which your own movements help shape the image.

This is an exhibition you do not only look at, but also feel and experience. Digital by Nature is for everyone who is curious about where art and technology meet, and about what connects us to the world around us.

  • Two people stand in a room with a large projection covering the walls and ground. It is reminiscent of a thundercloud with dark colours and sharp lines in white, red and yellow.
  • An image the head of a woman with hair style and features reminiscent of the statues of antiquity. Only this statue is all pixelated and bright red. Behind the statue in a dark purple room are screens.
  • The walls are blue with writhing white figures on them. A woman stands in front of them with her arms raised. On a black plinth is a red statue of a woman's head
  • A wall on the right is filled with the projections of white and black lines. On the left, coloured balls hang in the air with all coloured threads.
  • On one wall is a colourful projection that fills the entire wall. A man stands in front of it. On the projection, bright colours and digital shapes are combined with green leaves and flowers.
