digital art mile basel 2640132

The Digital Art Mile returns to Basel, Switzerland, from June 16 through 22, 2025, timed to coincide with Art Basel. Organized by Artmeta and staged at the historic Rebgasse, the event features a fair, exhibition, and public program showcasing a wide spectrum of digital and computer-based practices—from 1960s early computer art to humanoid robots and autonomous AI agents. This year's edition includes roughly 11 exhibitors, with solo presentations by Nigerian digital artist Osinachi (at Kate Vass Galerie) and generative artist Tyler Hobbs (via LaCollection), as well as group shows and a conference program exploring themes like the digital art market, AI in generative practices, and institutional engagement with new media. A central exhibition, Paintboxed—part of the Tezos World Tour—examines the legacy of the Paintbox, an early digital painting system.

elizabeth king louise bonnet swiss institute show interview

The Swiss Institute in New York has opened a new exhibition titled “De Anima,” pairing sculptor Elizabeth King and painter Louise Bonnet. Curated by director Stefanie Hessler, the show explores the boundaries between the living and the lifelike, featuring King's intricate automata and stop-motion films alongside Bonnet's large-scale oil paintings of fleshy, gestural figures. The artists, introduced by Hessler at an opening last year, discovered a shared fascination with involuntary bodily movements—twitching eyes, clenched jaws—and the invisible labor of artistic craftsmanship.

Animation Producer & Advocate Marge Dean Discusses Her New Art Exhibition Illuminating the Value of Domestic Labor

Marge Dean, an Emmy-winning animation producer and head of Skybound Entertainment, opens a new conceptual art exhibition titled "The Sweepers" at Automata gallery in Los Angeles' Chinatown on November 7. The show imagines a world where housework is valued as highly as fine art, presenting the fictional "Floor Field Cleaning" art movement (1940-1975) through portraits, floor samples, biographies, and an animated interview with a housewife named Laurie Poons. Dean, who is also founder of Women in Animation, created the work during the COVID lockdown, using rotoscoping and Photoshop to explore the intersection of domestic labor and artistic value.
