Film
~ #artoffline (2015)





-“Contemporary art is at a standstill, and partially because of technology” -  

︎ Mohammad Salemy

“In 2015, making selfies is part of the experience of visiting a museum. Digital technology has completely transformed the experience of art forever; #ARTOFFLINE provides an insider's view of the contemporary art-world, and explores the significance of audiences choosing experience art primarily through digital devices.

This documentary illustrates the ways in which digital technologies are also creating new audiences, and a participatory culture that exists outside of traditional elite spaces for art.  Filmed in Vancouver, Köln, Colombia, Oslo and during the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary art, the artist and director Manuel Correa takes us behind the scenes, and provides a glimpse inside the minds that are already shaping the art of tomorrow.”



“Directed by young Colombian visual artist and filmmaker  Manuel Correa, #artoffline premiered in 2015 and has been to international film festivals since 2016. It’s now 2020 and so this is no longer a new film. However, not much has changed in the art world in the past five years and with the new coronavirus, the issues Correa discussed then are worth our serious attention now.

︎ Napat Charitbutra, for Art4D, 2020




“ As #artoffline explores, the Internet has been seen by artists either as a transformative tool (think Instagram) or as a roadblock (again, think Instagram). Yet even with the Internet’s ascendency, cinema is the only remaining mainstream art form of our culture.

︎ Aaron Peck, for Canadian Art, 2017




“With the documentary #artoffline, shown as part of the Norwegian Sculpture Biennial, the director Manuel Correa seeks to challenge art’s problematic relationship with the Internet.”

︎ Erlend Hammer, for Kunstkritikk, 2015




”¿Qué sucede con el arte en la era del Internet? Los filósofos, artistas y curadores entrevistados en el documental Artoffline (2015) creen que la reproducción digital del arte lo puede liberar de un mercado de arte complicado y un sistema de exhibición desigual....”

︎ Artischock, 2016
