About the WAG
Due
to our needs that seem to be increasingly handheld, WAG was born on
2009! The Widget Art Gallery is a mini single art gallery room fitting
into people's pocket. Every month, the WAG hosts a solo digital art
exhibition related to its dynamic site-specific context. So the WAG
works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and also
as museum conserving all the past shows inside an online archive that
creates a permanent collection.

"Asteroids at an exhibition” by Jaime De Los Rios
De
Los Rios’s wag artwork explores some possibilities of time and space
specifically designed for the WAG virtual scenario, where viewer can
experience a multidimensional environment. In fact, the Widget Art
Gallery is crossed by a 3D cyber-object which doesn't respond to
newtonian physics. This post-object called asteroid, affects to lights
and shadows as sun normally does in tangible world, transforming the WAG
reality when it crosses through the space. De Los Rios explores the
evolution of the image-representation as happened in the renaissance era
with the perspective, when a 3D-image was first realistically simulated
in a painting.
Jaime De Los Rios’s artistic research (mainly thru
interactive installations) focuses on the intersection of systemics
science, especially regarding the mechanisms, rhythms and natural
patterns and collective intelligence.
