The pandemic has left some of us feeling isolated and lost in a virtual void. But a string of socially distanced events has granted us more access to cultural and professional events than ever before. Where we were once deterred by poor weather and long commutes, we can comfortably take part in important discussions from the sofa.
A quick intro.
It’s almost time for #ArtProject 2020, a virtual art and technology exposition that features digital art and the latest gadgets and gizmos making waves in the art world. If you love digital art, web design or gaming, this is your event. #ArtProject2020 will run from November 11th to the 15th through Vancouver Biennale and it is completely free. This is the organization’s first display of artwork that has been tokenized. “Tokenized” means that the work is owned by multiple people, similar to shares in the stock market. Art tokenization allows people with average incomes to invest in art; most students don’t have fifteen million for a Matisse, now.
This expo will include discussions panels, workshops, games and more. Speak with the leading experts in the exciting new field of digital art; discussions range from overcoming technical challenges, marketing your art and investing in tokenized pieces. You will have the chance go head-to-head with other participants in timed art competitions. Explore virtual galleries. Comb through the multitude of activities and book your slot here. artproject.io.
This expo is all online and technically open to the world, but it is based on a piece by New York-based Colombian artist Jessica Angel. Titled Voxel Bridge, this massive art installation is hopefully coming to Vancouver in the spring of 2021. Voxel Bridge will sit under the South Cambie Bridge. If you attend this virtual expo next week, you will learn more about Angel’s great undertaking. #ArtProject2020 gives Vancouverites interested in digital art the unique chance to develop their artistic and professional skills. If you are remotely interested in this field, do not miss your chance to take part.
