The Visual Arts
in the Age of Virtual Image

The relationship between actual and virtual is one of the points of classic visual arts in the times of the contemporary ‘constellation of data’ known as Internet, because there is a dichotomy between experienced and simulated.  Is it a digital image able to transmit the same emotion as the original? What about the power of substitution? Do we still need the artifact itself or an image made of pixels is sufficient? The purpose of a virtual gallery as PictorialArt is to mediate the information about art and the artwork in its material form.

“We still do not know exactly what pictures are, what their relation to language is, how they operate on observers and on the world, how their history is to be understood, and what is to be done with or about them.”
