With “Take Over”, Andres Reisinger continues to explore a new intersection between art and technology, between the physical and the digital realms. The artist treats his social media channels similarly to a real estate platform; as soon as Reisinger posted the various “Take Over” artworks’ expressions on his Instagram, questions on addresses and exhibition hours to visit the installation in person began to arise.

This alluring confusion between physicality and abstraction permeates much of Reisinger’s work, proposing a new way of experiencing art and encouraging viewers to question their own assumptions about what constitutes a “real” work of art. And in fact, the term “reality” finds a new definition in Reisinger’s practice: what could be and should be considered “real”? According to the artist, anything that forms an experience is real; whether it be in the digital or physical spheres become secondary. Intended exactly as an experience, by choosing social media as the stage for “Take Over”, Reisinger renders the artwork accessible to a wide audience, in turn reflecting on the theme of art’s democratisation. This has always been a key focus in the artist’s practice, and "Take Over" serves as an experiment to exemplify how technology can be engaged by art to bring people together and build a sense of community. The project, taking place simultaneously in several international capitals, transcends geographical boundaries and invites the world to participate in a shared digital experience.

In ‘Take Over: Miami,’ Andrés Reisinger challenges traditional frameworks of art by blurring boundaries between digital and physical realms. Leveraging social media as a dynamic exhibition space, he provokes inquiries about the location and temporality of the installation. This interplay disrupts conventional definitions of ‘real’ in art, asserting that the true essence lies in the experiential, irrespective of medium or platform. Through this accessible approach, Reisinger invites a broad audience to reconsider the conditions of reality within artistic expression.
