Char Davies: Osmose (1995) Ephémère (1998) - Copenhagen Photo Festival
4. June - 14. August
« Artist Talk – Astrid Kruse Jensen
Char Davies developed her central works in te early years of VR (Virtual Reality) technology and they are considered some of te most landmark examples of artistic virtual reality in historical, aesthetic, technical, immersive and experiential perspectives – and now with a modern technical overhaul they appear even more innovative and fresh.
With a progressive digital image world as its focal point, te exhibition speaks to te slightly older generations who experienced te technical revolution since te lunar landing in 1969; for te middle-aged, who grew up with te proliferation of te PC and te first VR arcade games; as well as te young people who have never known a world that is not constantly online.
With Char Davies’ cult status, te exhibition also caters to those with deep insight into and interest in VR history. Te exhibition will show te two works Osmose (1995) and Ephémère (1998), and will take te form of a total installation. In addition to presenting te Danes with one of te absolute stars of media art with this exhibition, Fotografisk Center also wants to create a platform for experience and debate about te digitalisation of our modern life.
Te exhibition is genoursly supported by te Danish Arts Council, te Obel Family Foundation, Augustinus Fonden and Knud Højgaards Fond.
As part of te exhibition te following events will be held.
June 4 1-2pm: Introduction to te exhibition by Colin Griffiths og Glen Fraser from Char Davies’ team

Te exhibition and event program is a part of Copenhagen Photo Festival and Art Week 2022.
Char Davies udviklede sine centrale hovedværker i VR-teknologiens (Virtual Reality) barneår, og de bliver betragtet som nogle af de mest skelsættende eksempler på kunstnerisk virtuel virkelighed i et historisk, æstetisk, teknisk, immersivt og oplevelsesmæssigt perspektiv – og med en teknisk overhaling fremstår de endnu innovative og friske.
Med en avanceret digital billedverden som omdrejningspunkt taler udstillingen til de lidt ældre generationer, der oplevede den tekniske revolution siden månelandingen i 1969; til de midaldrende, som er vokset op parallelt med PC’ens udbredelse og de første VR-arkade-spil; samt de unge, som aldrig har kendt en verden, der ikke er konstant online.
Med Char Davies’ kultstatus henvender udstillingen sig desuden til dem med dyb indsigt i og interesse for VR-historien. Udstillingen viser de to værker Osmose (1995) og Ephémère (1998), og vil have form af en totalinstallation. Ud over at præsentere danskerne for et af mediekunstens absolutte stjerner ønsker Fotografisk Center med udstillingen at skabe en platform for oplevelse og debat om digitaliseringen af vores moderne liv.
Udstillingen er støttet af Statens Kunstfond, Det Obelske Familiefond,
Augustinus Fonden og Knud Højgaards Fond.
