Digital Art Fair and MakersPlace have partnered to celebrate visionary generative and AI artists at this year’s Asia Edition, which will take place in Hong Kong, Oct 19–23, 2023.
Since the inaugural fair in 2021, the Digital Art Fair Asia (DAFA) has become a must-attend event for art and technology enthusiasts to collect digital fine art and celebrate art, culture, and creativity.
MakersPlace will be at the fair presenting two incredible digital artists pushing the boundaries of their mediums: David Ariew and Hideki Tsukamoto.
The Artists
David Ariew – Immersive Room Presenting Artist
The Immersive Room is the highlight of the fair, having hosted previous installations by artists like Refik Anadol and Jacky Tsai.
This year, we’re proud to partner with 3D artist David Ariew to present the exclusive premiere of Quantum Transcendence (2023), an awe-inspiring 3D infinite mirror room. David showcased a sneak peek of the experience at Beeple Studios’ grand opening in Charleston, SC earlier this year. The unique 3D experience will be accompanied by a VR experience and a 2D version of the seminal work. A small collection of Limited Edition works and an Open Edition from the same series will also be debuted.
The Immersive Room experience will be auctioned off in partnership with auction house Phillips.
Hideki Tsukamoto – Prestige Zone Featured Artist
UK-based programmer and technical artist Hideki Tsukamoto is a pioneer of digital generative art with notable sales at both Sotheby’s and Christie’s Auction Houses. For his MakersPlace and Digital Art Fair debut, Tsukamoto will premiere eight works from his brand new ‘IMMORTAL’ series at the Prestige Zone at DAFA. The works will be revealed on MakersPlace a week before the Art Fair inaugural VIP day.
Additionally, MakersPlace will be curating an artist, to be announced soon, for the Fair’s AI Zone.
