From February until may I have been busy developing my photography in the virtual world.I did an artist in residence at TAG ( TAG is a platform for contemporary audio/visual art. The organisation identifies new developments in visual arts and music in relation to technology and pop culture ) Luckily for me TAG was located at the office of Todays Art festival. I took the time to reflect on my work, break with my own rules and most of all create a lot of new work.

Thanks a lot for the great time guys!

The artist in residence was made possible by TAG & FondsBKVB

I was invited to give a talk about my photography in the virtual world at the Willem de Kooning Academy, Crosslab.

A registration of this event will soon be online

14-02-10 / Zutphen / Houtmarkt 64

Group exhibition of artists whom are all working with the esthetics of the virtual World

In this exposition I will show several new pieces which shed new perspectives on my work.

“Robert Overweg sees the computergame as a direct expansion of his surroundings and steps into these worlds with his virtual camera ready to shoot. He acts the same as a regular photographer walking in a normal landscape. Within several existing games he looks around and seeks corners, details and situations which he captures and shows to the public

The work of Overweg is not just about the border between real and virtual but also asks interesting questions about copyright. Overweg claims a creative choice in a world which he sees as his own, while these worlds originate from the creativity of others. “

I was invited by TAG to become an artist in residence in The Hague.
