D(igital) - Gang
The first contemporary art space in Romania dedicated exclusively to digital art.D-Gang is an exclusively digital art hub for the development and growth of the digital art community, helping to promote the understanding and appreciation of digital art and its potential as a medium. Located in the heart of Bucharest, and accessible to the public 24/24 through the storefronts, D-Gang is a dynamic and innovative independent space that is committed to exploring and supporting the intersection of art and technology.
Our ongoing annual program features a diverse range of digital artworks, including interactive installations, virtual reality experiences, and digital performances by artists from around the world. We are constantly seeking out new and exciting works that push the boundaries of what is possible with digital media, and we are committed to showcasing the latest and most innovative creations in the field.
In addition to our exhibitions, D-Gang also offers a range of educational and programming opportunities for artists, technologists, and creators. Our workshops, lectures, and artist talks provide a forum for exploring the creative possibilities of digital media, allowing artists to develop and showcase their work in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Digital art is a relatively new and rapidly evolving field within the broader realm of contemporary art. As such, it can be difficult for artists working in this medium to find spaces that are specifically dedicated to showcasing their work. An exclusively digital art space can provide a much-needed platform for these artists to exhibit their creations and reach new audiences. -

Euro sad boy
romanian emerging artistsee moreRobert Lazăr, alias Eurosadboy, is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Bucharest, Romania, with over 15 years of experience as a music producer and performer. Blending 3D rendered visuals with original music, he uses art to express emotions and create immersive digital experiences in the metaverse. His style is amorphous, a constant exploration of themes and ideas that often materialize into near-future sci-fi pieces, sometimes assorted with Eastern European nostalgia.

Andrei Gamarț
Live video projection on canvassee moreCombining traditional oil paintings with new media installations that project live images from surveillance cameras placed in different corners of the globe, Gamart's approach to the subject is not necessarily a direct one. The works allure the viewer into more than just a visual story, inviting them to decipher the emotional architecture of a complex condition, that generates a variety of feelings - from impatience and excitement to boredom and despair. In his own words, waiting is not necessarily an action, as it resembles different senses, like seeing or hearing. It is like a sixth sense connected to the future that awaits us, an imponderable state, full of emotion and tension at the same time, like in a dream where you are caught with no means of escape.

Gino Rubert
Barcelona, Spainsee moreOver the last years, Gino Rubert’s work has consisted in representing experiences and emotions from a cartooned and armored way of viewing sentimental relationships: the new woman, the new man, and their functions, dysfunctions, struggles and questions. He works with disciplines such as painting, video or installation. He believes in the tradition of art which, at first sight, seduces, and afterwards, invites to meditate through artifice like trompe-l’oeil or distortion. This way, his paintings are defined by his complex technique of mixing collages of photographs and materials like cork or artificial grass with acrylic and oil paint.
