In the digital age in which we live, art is taking on increasingly innovative forms, and artists embracing technological means to express their creativity are shaping the future of art production and collection. Supporting and appreciating digital art, through Blockchain technology, is not only an act of appreciation for contemporary aesthetics, but also an investment in our future vision.

Digital artists challenge the conventional boundaries of art, pushing the limits of creativity and perception. Using advanced technological tools, they transform lines of code into visual works that evoke emotions and stimulate deep reflection. This art form not only captures the essence of our digital age, but also opens up new avenues in exploring the connection between humanity and technology.

The possibility of owning and exchanging digital works of art via blockchain opens up new avenues, allowing collectors to expand their collections without physical limits. This shift towards digital collecting not only democratises access to art, but also helps preserve digital cultural heritage for future generations. Supporting digital artists and appreciating technological art means embracing change and shaping the future of artistic expression. Through constant support, we help build a bridge between tradition and innovation, creating an art form that truly reflects the complexity and beauty of our ever-changing digital world.

“Art Innovation is not a typical art gallery. It is an innovative company that offers digital creatives an unprecedented opportunity to display their works on the world's most technologically advanced digital billboards during cathartic art market events. We are redefining the traditional concept of the art gallery. Instead of confining creativity within four walls, Art Innovation harnesses the power of cutting-edge technology and global exposure. We offer a platform to artists and creatives, crossing geographical boundaries and offering a canvas that spans the globe. Our digital billboards, strategically placed in the epicentres of the art market, become a stage for your digital creations to shine."

Digital Lies

Galleria dell'Artistico Treviso, Via Carlo Alberto, Treviso, TV, Italia

La mostra a cura di Giovanna Quarto intende ripercorrere la carriera dell’artista fino ai lavori più recenti.
Le opere di Damiano Fasso sono popolate da personaggi teneri e buffi dall’aspetto giocoso e frivolo che fluttuano in uno spazio indefinito e irreale.
Dinosauri, omini stilizzati, idoli, teschi, ideogrammi, maternità che omaggiano la forza femminile, sono dipinti con colori accesi e contrastati, o con tonalità acide e fluo.
La sperimentazione artistica dell’autore spazia dalla pittura alla fotografia, dalle installazioni alla videoarte.
Il mondo Pop, il fascino per l’Oriente, la passione per Murakami, gli scenari dei videogames e dei Manga, affiorano nella memoria di chi osserva in un dialogo continuo con le comuni radici culturali.
L’apparente leggerezza dura solo un istante, quello che precede la lettura del titolo.
Scopriamo così che le stesse figure sono realizzate con materiali non convenzionali, spesso tossici come polvere da sparo, veleni e insetticidi, pvc, acrilici, smalti, filo e policarbonato.
Le opere inducono a riflettere su tematiche sempre presenti nella società e in noi stessi: l'amore, la morte, il sesso, la guerra, il pregiudizio sociale, la pandemia, l’inquinamento, l’inquietudine, l’attrazione e la paura verso un futuro sempre meno codificabile e prevedibile; le figure e i simboli che le animano appartengono ad una dimensione altra, sono un ponte tra la realtà delle nostre paure e delle nostre speranze e lo spazio virtuale dell’intelligenza artificiale.
Pronte ad essere esplose sugli schermi di Times Square come l’opera “Carpe diem”, un video che parla della paura dell’estinzione e della necessità dell’umanità di continuare a sognare, realizzato in collaborazione con Tokenable, società che si occupa di produrre NFT, nuova frontiera dell’arte.
Durante l’evento inaugurale verrà proiettata una serie di NFT inediti sulla facciata di un palazzo storico vicino alla Galleria, prima esperienza di questo tipo a Treviso dopo New York e Londra.
