Silva shared that the art showcased on the Ventana screen includes works by Yuma and Ryan Cman, each with distinct styles, offering a rich experience of digital art's versatility. The Ventana screen, Europe's first of its kind, is an impressive technological feat, but with a steep price point due to its novelty and advanced features. Despite the high cost, the exhibition has been met with enthusiasm, reflecting the market's increasing openness to digital art. Silva noted the unique textures and details in the art, demonstrating how digital mediums can create immersive and captivating experiences.
Digital Art Week aims to make art accessible and enjoyable for a diverse audience, offering both intimate and large-scale events. The program includes panels and exhibitions at various venues, designed to attract a wide range of visitors, from collectors to everyday art enthusiasts. Silva underscored the importance of inclusivity, acknowledging the current cost-of-living crisis and ensuring that many events are free or have minimal costs to encourage broader participation.
The digital art displayed during the week is not only visually stunning but also therapeutic. Silva highlighted the potential of digital art to serve as light therapy, promoting calmness and mental health through immersive experiences. Artists like Christa Kim, known for her piece "Continuum" showcased in Times Square, focus on creating tranquil environments amid the digital landscape, emphasizing the value of art in enhancing well-being.
Silva explained how Digital Art Week serves as a Launchpad for technology providers to showcase their latest innovations, promoting a blend of art, technology, and music. This unique approach allows audiences to explore digital art in various forms, from augmented reality experiences to physical builds in cities. She mentioned that the event includes interactive elements and experimental art forms, with plans to incorporate outdoor projection mapping and other technology-driven experiences in the future.
As Digital Art Week progresses, Silva highlighted the importance of collaboration with various artists and galleries. The event is designed to foster connections and inspire new approaches to exhibiting art. Silva expressed her hopes that these events would encourage a shift in perspective on digital art, moving away from the negative connotations often associated with NFTs and focusing on the broader possibilities of digital creativity.
Silva's background in the music industry and her experience in web3 media underscore her passion for connecting art with technology and music. She emphasized the role of music in complementing digital art, noting that many artists involved in Digital Art Week are also composers. This intersection of music and art adds an additional layer of depth to the exhibitions, offering audiences a multisensory experience. Silva encouraged visitors to explore the various events and enjoy the unique blend of creativity and technology that Digital Art Week has to offer.
