During Transformers we’re opening up the doors to our darkest space. Come down into a unique universe from Wednesday to Saturday: each week we’re showing a different video where seapunk, memes, green screens, Photoshop, Tumblr aeshetic, Facebook, YouTube and selfies are used as though they were paint or clay.

The trend of creating artistic work with digital tools has been encompassed within the term ‘post-Internet art’ for several years. Post-Internet refers to the change in our personal interaction with the image, mass media and popular culture. In turn, the artists work with the raw materials and ideas which everyone throws on line thereby creating new configurations and future realities.
