About the Programme
As Asia’s world city, Hong Kong has established itself as a global arts and cultural leader. Being one of the world’s largest art markets, the city provides fertile ground for Art x Tech exploration and creative innovations. With Hong Kong’s flourishing crypto and blockchain industry, Hongkongers are among the world’s biggest investors in cryptocurrencies and NFT projects. With Hong Kong’s art market continuing to grow, a burgeoning generation of young collectors opens up new opportunities for the art market. Since the launch of the Digital Art Fair in 2021, Hong Kong has seen a fundamental shift and growing interest in digital art, immersive experiences, and artech. While the art industry is rapidly expanding its digital readiness, the panel discussion explores the market opportunities of digital art in Hong Kong, and uncovers the changing dynamics and infrastructures for artists, galleries, collectors, art fairs, and auction houses. With Hong Kong’s unique disposition in the Greater Bay Area, the panel of experts traverses the opportunities and challenges that makes Hong Kong a leading digital art hub, and what the future beholds for the emerging digital fine art market.
