NFTS EXHIBITED AT WOW FESTIVAL IN DUBAI SOLD TO MAJOR DIGITAL ART COLLECTORS
March 17, 2022
Digital Gallery at WOW Summit Dubai Witnesses Major NFT Sale on the First Day of the Exhibition… The ‘Alternative Reality' exhibition was curated by Daria Lomova, an art advisor and historian. One of the main aims of the WOW summit was to raise public knowledge and awareness of the sweeping world of blockchain, crypto, AI, NFTs and beyond. That is why it was important for Lomova to curate an exhibition that people could relate to, while learning about the different digital art forms.
Lomova states, "As an art historian coming from a classical art world background, my aim while creating this exhibition was to showcase how, and in what direction contemporary art was going with the development of blockchain technologies. Me and my team carefully selected 20 artists that brought forward impactful topics to the NFT field, while showing their own countries cultural heritage in their works. As a result, the exhibition was relatable, and had great success among both crypto and art communities, with several artworks acquired in private and corporate collections."
