SCREENSAVERS
Art critic Jerry Saltz has notably criticized an NFT artwork by Refik Anadol, part of the Museum of Modern Art(MoMA)'s collection, likening it to "a banal screensaver." This critique brings up the broader question of how digital art should be evaluated and the kind of value it should possess.
AeonStudio's 2024 first exhibition, Screensavers, serves as the inaugural crypto art showcase, delving into screensavers as a genre and concept through a group artist exhibition. This display challenges the conventional art hierarchy by presenting digital pieces that redefine artistic boundaries. The exhibition, curated by the prominent crypto art curator Aleksandra.art and co-curated by UnknownCollector, features an extensive lineup of both domestic and international digital artists. Visitors will encounter unique works that merge the aesthetic elements and characteristics of familiar screensavers with the artists' identities, offering a novel perspective on the standards and value of digital art.
