Inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, the exhibition The Garden of Digital Delights brings together video and new media artists who explore the boundaries of the digital world and the transformation of reality through new technologies. The works represent elements of the real world—nature, landscapes, living beings, and humans—recreated in the digital universe, like a digital cosmogony of existence.

Drawing on the structure of Bosch’s triptych, the exhibition is organized into three parts: a new Eden dedicated to nature and the initial interactions between the digital and physical worlds; a "garden of digital delights" exploring their fusion; and a collection dedicated to hybrids and chimeras born from new technologies. A projection by Cy Tone completes the installation with a distorted universe evoking the depiction of the world on the original triptych's outer panels.
