We’re witnessing an exciting democratization of art through digital mediums, attracting not just tech-savvy collectors but also traditional art enthusiasts, cultural institutions, and a new generation of art lovers. With our track record of engaging over 37,000 international collectors, we’ve seen how digital art breaks down traditional barriers, allowing artists to push creative boundaries while reaching wider audiences. Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene and cultural infrastructure make it the perfect backdrop for DAF 2025, where we’ll showcase how technology serves as a tool for artistic expression rather than just a means of transaction.”
