Welcome to the future of art experiences.
A Note from the Curator
It’s always been an aspiration of mine for artists and designers to have their 3D works presented in contemporary art context, along with an equally considered physical space.
Much like a Satellite floating through the vastness of space collecting valuable data, over the years I’ve met and bookmarked incredible creatives pioneering the space. A collective truly worthy of representing what the future of contemporary art will look like.
The advent of NFTs in 2021 saw their explosive impact in the artworld, from amateur digital artists to the more established. Immutable ownership of these works were never possible in the way they are now thanks to the Ethereum blockchain, smart contract applications, and the community that believes in them.
Collaborating with flagship NFT platform, Foundation.app, Katie Tholo (ex. Art Gallery of NSW) and Studio Messa who have constructed a digital gallery from early visions through to tangible conception.
It’s with great pleasure I present this contemporary palette of the finest 3D artists in the digital space, and the world at large.
Sincerely,
David Porte Beckefeld
A Note from the Presenting Partner, Prism Markets
Art has long provided the means to explore ideas and concepts that were once unfamiliar. As new forms of technology increasingly integrate into our lives, challenging old modes of operation and presenting new ways of existing, Prism supports the arts for its ability to provide alternative lenses to view the world through, challenge our perceptions, reveal new ways of seeing and, through the articulation of abstract concepts, assist the transition between the old and the new.
Connection and innovation are at the core of Prism. We look forward to partnering with Satellite, supporting innovation in technology and providing a foundation for the power of creativity to influence and inspire our lives, connecting the parts that makeup the whole.
