0xCollection

Focused on developing digital art from the present, for the future, 0xCollection (pronounced ‘Hex Collection’) is a digital, new media, and time-based art collection and initiative based in Basel, Switzerland. Supported by entrepreneur and philanthropist Karel Komárek, under the direction of new media expert Elle Anastasiou, 0x launches in September 2023 across two public spaces in Prague with: ‘Synesthetic Immersion’, a group exhibition of 8 international artists; and DVORAK DREAMS, a new large-scale commission by Refik Anadol. Seeking to act as a touchstone for digital, new media and time-based art, 0x actively collects work for public display and education surrounding our current era of technological innovation and interactivity. The collection serves to further dialogue between artists working at the cusp of the technopocene by placing a decentralised approach to collecting and curating at the heart of its mission. Through an acquisition structure based on exhibition capsules, 0x aims to highlight and commemorate cultural moments in the now, while also interacting with a growing network of curators, experts, researchers, historians and artists excelling within the fields of digital new media art.
