New exhibition program Digital Horizons.

«The discovery of “digital horizons” will open up new moments of reflection and inquiry into our contemporaneity and represents the first stage in a long road ahead. Each exhibition within the cycle will give the audience the opportunity to approach the most innovative and disruptive digital art currents.
