About
PolymorphArt
On PolymorphArt.net, you will find hundreds of hand-picked multi-genre art projects in between art, digital technology and philosophy. It's about contemporary developments in art that take place within the framework of the ongoing digital transformation of our society, but which are only very rarely seen in the mainstream media.
Contexts, viewpoints, visual axes and changes of perspective
One and the same project can appear in various contexts on PolymorphArt.net. You, the visitor, can freely choose the context. Depending on the context, your perspective on the specific project will change. Along the way you can find, coincidentally, other projects that correspond to the chosen artistic, technical, mood, or philosophy-related context you’ve chosen.
We start by presenting the projects for you in a chronological context, so that the project that was completed most recently is the first one you see. Afterwards, you can examine the genre-themed contexts in which you can assign projects to one of five categories: audiovisual, interactive, body, public space and narrative.
You can create even more exciting contexts by clicking on the tags linked to the projects. On the one hand, there are tags that categorize a project from the viewpoint of artistic form or technique (e.g., animation, composition, dance, generative art, video projection, and many more). On the other hand, there are tags that put the project into a mood-related context (e.g., a dark or light colour, funny or sad, experimental or classical, surrealistic or contemporary, and many more).
An audiovisual performance can be found, for example, under the category "audiovisual," or in the context of projects tagged with "video projection" or "projection mapping," or as part of projects tagged with "light," or "sounds," or simply with a single colour.
On PolymoprhArt.net, the context you select will give you a suggestion or a hint. Then you can look at an individual project from a viewpoint chosen from several possible variations. You can change the viewpoint by selecting a different context. Regardless of what you choose, any of these viewpoints will be a legitimate way of looking at the project. However, your choice always will give you a view from a different perspective. Changing the perspective can change the meaning of a project, and that means you gain more insight—that is the whole idea of PolymorphArt.net.
Besides art, digital technology and philosophy, PolymorphArt.net is about contexts, viewpoints, visual axes, and changes of perspective. Find your own way to connect with multi-genre art projects using the multidimensional methods of PolymorphArt.net.
