“Eternity brings together a collection of digital art that explores the idea of timelessness and what lasts beyond the moment. In a world that’s constantly changing, what does it mean for something to truly endure? This exhibit invites you to think about eternity through the lens of art and technology, where the digital realm opens up new possibilities for what can last. The works in Eternity reflect on the ways we capture meaning in a world defined by change — some exploring the fleeting nature of moments, others imagining visions that could endure far beyond the present. Each piece serves as a reminder that while time moves forward, art has the power to transcend it, offering a glimpse into something lasting. Through this exhibit, you’re invited to consider how digital art can survive, evolve, and continue to resonate long after the screen goes dark.” — Lex Doom
