Gallery Spaces Panel I: Unlocking the power of digital art and emerging technologies to radically disrupt the art market
How will we value art in the future? To guide our discussion, we will look at the two major trends affecting the art market currently. First, the high end art market has a reputation of being notoriously conservative and lacking parity. Yet increasingly diverse and empowered artists and consumers are heralding a radical market shift that is about to transform the art world. Second, rapidly evolving digital technologies offer unprecedented creative opportunities for artists and the simultaneous promise of decentralized infrastructure is radically disrupting strongly held ideas of art ownership and collection. How will this emerging mega trend of art tech affect the role and value of art in the future?
