DA Z Digital Art Zurich successfully launched

The fourth edition of DA Z - Digital Art Zurich got off to a successful start. The opening vernissage, the first performance at the Wasserkirche and the Dazzed Night at the Kunsthaus were sold out. The exhibitions, which explore artificial realities with VR experiences, video works as well as interactive installations and game formats, are also well received by the public. Worldwide known artists like Kenny Schachter (USA), LuYang (CHN), Crosslucid (CZ/POL), Monocolor (AT), DEPART (AT), Nao Tokui & Ryosuke
Nakajima (JP) as well as Swiss artists such as DADAGlobal, Kollektiv Packungsbeilage and Styro 2000 are represented in the program.

In order to promote the dialog between digital culture, business, science and society and to network with each other, the Professional Days will take place for the first time. On Friday, interested parties will receive up-to-date information on the new art market: discussions will focus on how blockchain, NFT, AI and Metaverse will change the art market.

On Saturday, panelists will discuss the current impetus from creative technologies and cultures around AI and Metaverse and their impact on corporate and institutional strategies.
