kenny schachter on uniting the traditional and digital art worlds ahead of NFT ART DAY ZRH
As the digital renaissance continues to reshape the art world, the annual NFT ART DAY ZRH conference returns to Zurich for its second edition to delve deeper into the burgeoning world of NFTs, Web3, and contemporary digital art. From June 10 to 11, the platform will bring together some of the most prolific players in the art world — from museums and directors, to collectors, critics, artists, and enthusiasts — to explore the intricate intersections between art and technology through the lens of blockchain and NFTs. Among these, artist and critic Kenny Schachter will be returning to lead the event’s keynote address, with an agenda to build bridges between the disparate camps of the traditional and digital art worlds — or militias as he playfully calls them.
