A new exhibition in Hong Kong will explore themes of value, code, and ownership through the lens of Bitcoin and contemporary art.
Bitcoin-Focused Art Exhibition
The Bitcoin Asia exhibition opens in Hong Kong to showcase both digital and physical works exploring value and ownership in the context of Bitcoin. This event highlights a growing interest in Bitcoin-native creative formats across international markets.
Robert Alice's Works on Display
The exhibition features works by Robert Alice, a UK-based artist exploring the philosophical and historical roots of blockchain. His series 'Portraits of a Mind' includes 40 pieces encoding the first 12.3 million digits of Bitcoin’s code, which will also be showcased at the Christie's auction in September.
Future of Collecting and Cultural Diplomacy
The exhibition will also host a discussion panel featuring former Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith and Dr. Uli Sigg, a prominent collector of Chinese contemporary art, addressing the future of collecting and new art valuation models in a changing cultural landscape.
The exhibition in Hong Kong signals the growing influence of Bitcoin on culture and art and the need for a rethinking of value and collecting in contemporary society.
