Welcome to the Museum of the Black Portal.
The name of the museum is a reference to the Egyptian, Inca, and Aztec obsidian mirrors of 16th, 17th, and 18th century. The museum is a reclamation of the western narrative of the black mirror as anything “dystopian and bizarre” and instead a journey of discovery into the expansive space beyond the material and into the digital; the spiritual; the ontology of the glitch outside the matrix and inside oneself.
The museum's heterogeneity is as diverse as the artists represented and will showcase the multitudinous ways of approaching the subject of the black portal.
