"Make it so" - the proverbial words of Captain Picard from Star Trek and in short (to make it short), we imagined the National Gallery as the Enterprise and many episodes of a saga that mixes a time that is out of joint with the Internet, that is becoming virtual and more concrete, something undefined that looks like a space for the future.

Behind the scenes
"Entering the National Gallery on the closing day and therefore finding it empty [...] was an experience that I think I will never forget. It is such great and bright space that makes think the National Gallery is really a place for everyone: where anyone can enjoy, experience and interact with different works and be surprised by the unexpected. " Federica Mutti

"I was really impressed by the National Gallery young spirit. Before arriving there I expected something extremely institutional (I actually thought they were wrong to call me) but I changed my mind instantly! It was an incredible experience, I felt extremely at ease and I realized that truly anyone is welcome to immerse themselves in art. " Pitta (Margherita Pontecorvo)

Keeping it informal
The videos transcend the boundaries of social media and oscillate between a traditional storytelling of the artworks and a more informal tone. The videos are enriched with animated illustrations by Martí Guixé, Catalan designer, artist and curator.
