The line between digital and physical art has been dissolving for a decade. Tokens take the form of prints. Generative code becomes embroidery. AI portraits arrive in gallery frames. The work no longer chooses one state. It exists in two at once. What lies between is not a mix. It has its own rules.

Superposition is a curatorial notebook on this fold. Each piece follows a single work or a single position, asking what it is digitally, what it is physically, and what happens at the threshold between them.

A second strand follows the people. The digital art world tends to make its artists curiously invisible: celebrated, traded, often forwarded at high speed, but rarely asked who they are, where they come from, what shaped their work. Classical art has always taken biography seriously. Nobody talks about Bacon without his life, about Bourgeois without hers. This project tries to do the same for artists whose work began on screen.

Mathias Thiel writes from Berlin. Curator and Managing Director at Studio Asisi. Collecting digital art since 2021, with a focus that has gradually shifted toward works that find their way into the physical world. The collection feeds the thinking but does not lead it. Published when a work or an encounter calls for it.
