DR. SELIMA NIGGL:
Can you explain to me what fascinates you about numbers and what meaning they convey to you?

OLEKSIY KOVAL:
Numbers mean numbers, the number one means one, the number two means two, the number three means three and so on.

They are created as I paint.

I apply the smallest size of paint to a surface and get one, I apply the largest and get eight.

Numbers do not lie.¹

Digital exhibition in the public space of the city of Munich

A digital exhibition project initiated by Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Digital Art Space Munich; Kulturreferat Munich and the artist group Rhythm Section Munich.

Funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts; Cultural Foundation of Stadtsparkasse Munich; Ströer; Hubei Institute of Fine Arts, Wuhan; Guangzhou D-Lab Cultural Development Co., Ltd; Villa Waldberta, Artists’ House of the City of Munich.

The Stachus Passagen – Europe’s largest underground shopping center – is located in the middle of Munich’s city center, directly at Karlsplatz/Stachus. From August 28 to September 7, 2023, from 6 a.m. to midnight, digital artworks by 5 artists from Wuhan and 5 artists from Munich will be broadcast on the public video stations of the Stachus Passagen, between the everyday mixture of editorial content and advertising.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a digital gallery in public space that gives artists the opportunity to be seen and invites viewers to participate in the development of digital art. Art opens itself to the public and even to the public that does not come to the museum.

RHYTHM SECTION SALON BINÄR is a sustainable project, because no resources are consumed. The project uses the existing screens of the public urban space.
