Experimental art is a form of expression that challenges the traditional limits of creativity. If you are an art lover and you are looking for something different, when you have the opportunity to travel to Disney you can not miss this outstanding gallery that captivates the public for its originality: Superblue.
Superblue is an Experiential Art Center (EAC) (Gómez, 2020) founded in collaboration between the Emerson Collective and Therme Art. Its objective is to open spaces for the dissemination of unconventional and commercial artistic works. Another attraction of living in Florida.
What is experimental art?
Experimental art seeks to challenge the viewer, invite them to reflect and immerse them in immersive sensory experiences. While traditional art follows established rules and sticks to familiar techniques and styles, experimental art boldly throws itself into the unknown, challenging conventions and seeking new forms of expression.
Imagine traditional art as a classic cooking recipe, where the ingredients and steps are known and followed to the letter for a predictable and appreciated result. On the other hand, experimental art is like a culinary adventure where the chef dares to mix unexpected flavors, try new techniques and present dishes that defy expectations.
Likewise, the traditional one focuses on representing reality in a faithful and recognizable way. Landscape paintings, detailed portraits and realistic sculptures are some examples. Instead, the experimental dives into the abstract, the conceptual and the emotional. You can play with shapes, colors, materials and innovative technologies to convey ideas and provoke sensations in the viewer.
Superblue: where experimental art comes to life
In the United States there are several museums that have stood out for their dedication to experimental art. From the east coast to the west there are options for all tastes. However, today we will focus on Superblue, a revolutionary space located in the vibrant city of Miami.
It is much more than just an art gallery. It is an interactive space that combines backlit screens, digital installations and an intriguing maze of mirrors. Thus, an unparalleled artistic experience is created.
Among the featured artists who have exhibited their ideas in this gallery are:
- Daniel Boyd.
- Nick Cave.
- Mary Corse.
- It’s Devlin.
- DRIFT.
- Simon Heijdens.
- Jeppe Hein.
Superblue: what are immersive experiences like?
Imagine entering a world where every wall is a door to the unknown and the magical. A place where your presence merges with dynamic works of art. This is what happened at the inaugural Superblue exhibition. In 2021, Es Devlin, James Turrell and teamLab brought to life an immersive experience called “Every wall is a door” (Maxwell, 2021).
How did it work? Through digital images that mimicked nature, this artwork transported the public to an environment that reacted to their movements. That is, it was not just the typical paintings hanging on a wall. Thus, all the exhibitions of this artistic center invite innovation.
Therefore, if you are planning to visit the Capital of the Sun, you should take this activity into account. You can easily find accommodation in Miami and rooms in Doral. In addition to traveling to Disney, you can’t miss the Superblue experience.
