KIM BOUTIN & DAVID BRONER

DVTK →↓↑← is derived from the names of co-founders Kim Boutin & David Broner. Together, they create virtual worlds that might take the forms of immersive websites, online games or interactive installations. Their most recent research involves the creation of online platforms involving visitors’ contribution, followed by a reinterpretation of the material uploaded by participants. Through this digital-compost process, they aim to grasp a new approach to digital art that emphasises on the feeling of togetherness, as we are relentlessly questioning the role of technology and its impact on our daily lives.

• online participative artwork

“Through The Window” is an online participative artwork that creates a collective landscape of hundreds of images taken by people worldwide during the first COVID-19 lockdown. The abstract composition creates new pieces from digested digital artifacts of the past. The project, available on www.throughthewindow.online, invites viewers to reflect on the potential of leftover internet pieces to produce something beautiful and meaningful.
