Miami Art Week is featuring a strong intersection of art and technology, with digital art taking center stage at major fairs. Art Basel Miami Beach (Dec. 5–7) debuts Zero 10, a curated section focused on digital art, showcasing works by Beeple (including robotic dogs resembling billionaires), Lu Yang, and others. CONTEXT Art Miami (Dec. 2–7) hosts Blackdove, a Miami-based digital art company, presenting its first fair exhibit titled "Code and Canvas: The Digital Art Genome." Other tech-forward installations include Emmanuel Van der Auwera's thermal video piece and Holly Herndon & Mat Dryhurst's AI-driven digital canvas.
This convergence matters because it signals that digital art has moved from the margins to a central role in the contemporary art market and major fairs. Art Basel CEO Noah Horowitz explicitly states that digital art is now integral to how art and the market evolve. The inclusion of blockchain, robotics, and AI works at premier events like Art Basel Miami Beach reflects a broader institutional and commercial acceptance of new media, reshaping how art is made, seen, and collected.
