Professor Robin Mandel's Division of Leisure is featured at the NTAa 2025 Exhibition in Ghent, Belgium. The work is on exhibit from February 20 to June 8th 2025.
NTAa'25 is an international art contest and exhibition that combines the excitement of competition with the depth of curated works to celebrate a century of digital art. A professional jury meticulously selected 26 artists from hundreds of submissions to compete for the prestigious Jury Prize and Public Prize, each valued at €7,500. Alongside these talented artists, curator Thierry Dufrêne has brought 22 different works together that show the true evolution of digital art over the past 100 years. These 48 artworks from around the globe unite to create one extraordinary masterpiece
The work consists of a table with two chairs, featuring two pico projectors casting images onto a translucent plexiglass screen. The wordless narrative unfolds through the interaction of objects, such as teacups, with the projected imagery. The piece draws inspiration from traditions like magic, puppetry, and still-life painting, as well as contemporary artists like Tony Oursler and Mika Rottenberg.
