Digitalism is more than an exhibition—it is defining a moment in art history.
By presenting some of the best artists (‘digitalists’) working at the forefront of art and technology today, we are formally recognising Digitalism as a distinct new art movement, sitting alongside
the very best of Modern British and Contemporary traditional art at the British Art Fair.
This exhibition serves as a critical platform to contextualise and codify Digitalism, providing a narrative that traces its development and highlights its cultural significance. Through this exhibition, we aim to cement Digitalism’s place within the broader history of art, ensuring that its contributions are acknowledged and studied for generations to come.

Untold Garden is an award-winning art and design studio based in London and Stockholm, known for their pioneering explorations of how technology shapes interpersonal connections and human experience.

Their work transcends traditional distinctions between tools and objects, artist and audience, human and machine, and includes physical installations, virtual sculptures, interactive performances, artificial ecologies, and experimental social networks. Their work has been exhibited at notable venues and events such as the Nobel Prize Museum, BFI London Film Festival, STRP, and Magasin III.

They extend their commitment to experiential and participatory art through their platform Meadow, which democratises the creation and distribution of virtual experiences for artists and creatives worldwide.

At the British Art Fair, Untold Garden is showing their latest work, Reach, a group of mixed-reality sculptures drawing inspiration from the phenomenon of entanglement in quantum mechanics. The work is an unprecedented combination of hand clay sculpting, traditional bronze casting methods,
electronics and spatial computing, converging in a collective experience not primarily based on the senses of sight and sound, but on touch.

In her short story The Author of Acacia Seeds, Ursula K. Le Guin speculates on a community with an entirely tactile language; “[they] cannot hear each other; they cannot see each other. They can only feel the other’s warmth. That is their poetry, that is their art.” In the same way, Reach enables a virtual tactile language, a somatic poetry of sorts, where your touch is connected to others, regardless of where in the world you are.

Reach invites you to a collective tactile experience where you participate with your most intimate byproduct: body heat.
