Digital Art House on Skolas Street presents animated projections and sound as immersive exhibitions. The centre opened in 2019 and continues to host changing multimedia programmes.
Guide preview
At Digital Art House, an artwork may appear across a wall at a scale its maker never intended, accompanied by music and animation. The Riga venue presents multimedia interpretations of art rather than claiming to put original paintings in every projection. Its shows invite visitors to consider what changes when a still image becomes an enveloping moving environment.
