9. Introduction to your proposed exhibition/event.
- Screensavers
- Curator: Aleksandra Art
- Total participating artists: 18
- Exhibition Description: The “SCREENSAVERS” exhibition, scheduled for February 2024, is a digital and crypto art exhibition centered around the theme of ‘Screensavers.’ Initiated with a review by renowned critic Jerry Saltz on Refik Anadol’s artificial intelligence artwork installed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, describing it as an banal ‘screensaver,’ this exhibition challenges the bias that digital art is simple or superficial. Through the works of various artists, it aims to showcase the depth and creativity of this medium. The artworks are crafted in a 16:9 ratio, embracing the formats once used to mock digital art, drawing inspiration from vintage screensavers and conceptualizing the mirror-like nature of digital activity on screens. This exhibition, a playful challenge to the seriousness of ‘art’ and biases in the art world, seeks to spark an expanded conversation about the value of digital art.

- DADA.ART 10th Anniversary Exhibition
- DADA is a web3 art ecosystem and community comprising over 175,000 members, co-founded by Beatriz Ramos and Judy Mam. Drawing inspiration from the early 20th-century Dadaist art movement, which aimed to dismantle elitism and capitalism in the art society, DADA envisions disrupting art through the utilization of web3 technology. Since the launch of the DADA digital platform in 2014, where artists collaboratively create artworks, the platform incorporated blockchain technology in 2017. This pioneering art project encoded royalties into Ethereum smart contracts, enabling creators to earn revenue from secondary sales, marking it as one of the first art projects to do so. Additionally, in 2019, DADA collaborated with roboticist Alex Reben to program the DADAGAN artificial intelligence bot using 115,000 artworks. The current exhibition commemorates DADA’s 10th anniversary, offering an opportunity to explore the projects and artworks established by DADA over the past decade and delve into the new standards and values shaping the evolving art scene.
