HONG KONG, HONG KONG, CHINA , March 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WOW Summit Hong Kong, taking place on March 26-27 at AsiaWorld Expo, Hong Kong, is proud to announce a groundbreaking curation by Sotheby's, one of the world's most prestigious auction houses, for the WOW Summit Art Zone. This dynamic exhibition will offer attendees an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of cutting-edge digital art, explore the latest trends, and gain insights into its growing impact on the art world.

Sotheby's, renowned for its 275-year legacy in fine art and luxury, brings its expertise in the digital art space to the WOW Summit Art Zone.

This year, the WOW Summit Art Zone will be enthralled by EVENT, a captivating collection of 500 algorithmic artworks by renowned conceptual artist Bernar Venet. This unique exhibit, curated by Sotheby's, delves into the fascinating interplay of chance and unpredictability within the digital realm.

EVENT (2024) embraces blockchain technology, offering collectors the exclusive opportunity to mint a never-before-seen output generated by Venet's proprietary algorithm. This dynamic and interactive experience represents a continuation of the artist's relentless pursuit of innovation and transformation within the art world. By merging his artistic vision with the languages of science and mathematics, Venet creates a thought-provoking and immersive digital encounter.
