Tbilisi Digital Space — Attraction in Tbilisi

I recently visited the Tbilisi Digital Space museum and I must say, I am deeply disappointed. While the place has received several glowing reviews, my experience differed greatly, leaving me confused about the popularity it enjoys.

To start, the main issue I encountered was a lack of substance in the ideas presented. Though digital art can be a wonderful medium to express creativity, it seemed as if the pieces displayed here were half-baked and lacked depth. Each work appeared hastily thrown together, with more focus on flashy digital techniques than on delivering a meaningful message or narrative.

Furthermore, I was taken aback by the seemingly intense Russo-phobic undertones in the works. While art can be a platform for personal expression and even social commentary, it's essential that it doesn't perpetuate unnecessary antagonism or bias. It felt as though the artists were university graduates trying to imbue each work with strong anti-Russian sentiments, which was disconcerting and detracted from any potential enjoyment.

All in all, my visit to Tbilisi Digital Space was a regrettable experience. I found it to be a place that leans heavily on digital gimmickry and contentious themes, rather than thought-provoking or enjoyable art. As such, I am unable to recommend this museum. It saddens me to see so much potential lost amidst these issues. I truly hope the management will address these concerns for...

Interesting visualisation with paintings of common known artists. Some of them a little bit to trashy but all of all we were satisfied. Good to first check the actual offer and hours of shows.

About the video played in the waiting area: it's good to see that even that Georgians depends on russian tourists (we met a lot of them in Tbilisi and other cities) they do are not afraid to speak loudly about the true. And it's not a propaganda like said some russian in the earlier comment - that is you who have been brainwashed and you don't see (or we should say - don't want to see) what your nation did to the other nations (not only in the Ukraine). Every way to show the true is good.

To the authors - one content note: on the screen with dates of russian invasions and oppressive activity You should add Poland in 1939 (17.09.1939) when the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact was implemented and soviets attacked Poland. You won't learn about it from russian history books but after getting them out of Poland the true came out and now we can say it loudly. Moreover it could also be in russian as I found out many of them doesn't...

We visited for the Van Gogh immersive exhibition, expecting a 1-hour experience as mentioned during ticket purchase — but the actual show lasted barely 20 minutes. 🎥 Afterwards, we were taken (for free) to two more rooms, one with a short piece on the Russia–Georgia war. While the gesture was nice, it didn’t make up for the underwhelming main event.

The ticket was 45 GEL for tourists (compared to 20 GEL for locals), and honestly, it did not feel worth the price. 💸 We were the only ones there, which was a bit awkward, and the whole setup lacked the immersive feel you’d expect from a digital art space.

The flooring was glossy tile, which reflected the visuals and broke the illusion completely — a flat, matte surface would’ve made much more sense. The ceiling was low, and overall the space just didn’t deliver the atmosphere these types of shows depend on. 😕

If you’ve been to similar exhibitions like Atelier des Lumières in Paris or even Alcazar in Istanbul, this one falls far behind. Nice idea, poor execution. Wouldn’t recommend unless it gets a...
