As the art world continues to adapt and evolve in the digital and NFT realms, new communities are emerging to support these worlds, involving new creators and stakeholders. Art Dubai launched Art Dubai Digital in 2022 – a new dedicated section of the fair examining the context out of which NFTs, cryptocurrency, video art, and virtual reality (VR) have grown since the rise of digital art in the 1980s and recognising those who are leading the way in the rapidly expanding and developing digital art space.
Art Dubai Digital 2025, curated by Gonzalo Herrero Delicado, will adopt a cross-disciplinary approach to examine how artists and creative practitioners are using artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and other technological advances to interrogate some of the key environmental, social and political challenges of our time.
