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. WAG website

"Social fever" by Miriam Pelagalli. November 7 2018 - January 8 2019.
Pelagalli’s WAG room becomes a magnified looped projection of the Instagram main screen.
The
man seated in the center is the fulcrum of the scene, where everything
turns around him. He looks like an indistinct shape, equal to many
others and without any thickness. His silhouette is surrounded by a
continuous turning of other shapes showing always the same content: an
alienated kind of “social fever”.
Miriam Pelagalli is a student of
the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, B.A. graduated from the multimedia art
and technology department.
