Digital Art Fair Xperience 2022
Digital Art Fair returns to Central Hong Kong for its Xperience show! The event will showcase digital artwork using interactive Web 3.0 technologies including blockchain and VR, while the Immersive Zone will spotlight London-based Chinese contemporary pop artist Jacky Tsai, who is known for fusing East and West symbols and imagery in his works. Visitors will also get the chance to create their own digital artwork, which will be displayed as part of a digital art public art installation “The Xperience Art Project’’ and transformed into the show venue’s facade video wall on Queen’s Road Central.
This year, Asia’s first surrealist metahuman artist MonoC will show her work at Hong Kong’s Digital Art Fair, making history as the first virtual human to participate in the exhibition. She presents “Corona Florella”, which transforms COVID-19 data into a series of six generative artworks tracing our shared experiences under the global pandemic, centred around her signature floral motif.
