#2 Digital Art Evolution: From Luminous Exhibits to Tokenized Creativity
👋 Hello, we are Julian and Marcel, and welcome to our weekly edition of The Curious Collector. Each week we humbly curate what’s happening in the digital art realm. ✨
It is a subscriber-only newsletter, delivered every Sunday, highlighting mainly digital and sometimes physical art news.
In a world where technology and artistry continuously intertwine, understanding their confluence becomes essential. This week, we present articles that illuminate this relationship, from FVCKRENDER's deeply personal exhibit to the innovative frontiers of tokenized art. Join us as we navigate these narratives, offering a fresh perspective on the world of digital art.
