Abstract :

This paper explores the role of digital art in the Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane, Australia. QAGOMA has been at the forefront of exhibiting and collecting digital art since the early 2000s, and has developed a significant collection of works in this medium. The paper examines the ways in which QAGOMA has embraced digital art, including through its exhibitions, acquisitions, and programming. It also considers the challenges of exhibiting and collecting digital art, such as technological obsolescence, preservation, and the question of authenticity. Through an analysis of key works in the QAGOMA collection, the paper argues that digital art has become an important and valued part of the contemporary art world, and that QAGOMA has played a vital role in promoting and supporting this medium.
