ART ON THE BLOCKCHAIN is ‘a sharp, accessible guide to blockchain’s creative revolution. A must-read for anyone interested in the evolving relationship between technology and artistic innovation.’ – @AnneBracegirdle, co-founder Christie's Art + Tech Summit TAG
For the first time, @rogerballen's surreal world is revealed in colour. Spirits and Spaces marks a striking evolution for one of contemporary photography’s most distinctive voices. A must-have for fans and collectors. Out 18 Sept in the UK, 30 Sep in the US @thamesandhudson
@EdwardBurtynsky has long had a visionary approach to photography, embracing technological evolution over 40+ years. At @ParisPhotoFair 2024, I had the pleasure of working with Burtynsky’s studio, exploring blockchain, digital innovation, & the potential of decentralised systems.
As @EdwardBurtynsky’s studio puts it: “At its core, this collaboration is not merely a merging of artistic mediums or technical processes, but a profound alignment and exchange of a shared artistic vision.”
While I'm sorry to miss the exhibition, I could not be more excited for everyone involved. Not to be missed if you're in New York this month!
