Art + Fintech 2.0
The New Age of Digital Disruption & Innovation
1 - 29 June, 2020 | Webinar Series
FOREWORD
BY RACHEL REKKAB FOUNDER ARTEM HOLDINGS
In light of the current global situation regarding COVID-19, nearly a third of the globe is in the moment of forced isolation and the superfluously crammed art world is at an unparalleled standstill. UNFOLD Art XChange has decided to address the need to speed up the global transition towards a digital art economy with the launch of the Art+ FinTech 2.0 weekly summer webinar series for the month of June with the theme 'The New Age of Digital Disruption and Innovation'.
We are delighted to announce that Georg Bak, Art Advisor and Curator in Crypto and Blockchain, Digital, Generative and Early Computer Art will be joining our curatorial advisory board to help develop the content programming for this upcoming edition.
With inevitable cancellations and postponements of art fairs, temporary closures of galleries and museums and contingency measures announced every other day, we will explore how the coronavirus pandemic is pushing the complex art world into an era of digitization and online.
I would urge you to support this new digital revolution initiative. I hope this webinar series will offer a new and stimulating virtual experience, bringing together many more thought provoking leaders in the art world to share best practices in helping us to further innovate and come out stronger after the pandemic.
