Digital culture editor and founder of Designcollector.net blog Arseny Vesnin, has been exploring and curating the best of visual media arts and design since 2003. Designcollector quickly became a leading online media that keeps an eye on the rapidly changing world of new media art, design and other creative disciplines. Starting from 2013, DCN organises an annual initiative Digital Decade, aimed to reveal upcoming artists working in the field of digital art. Digital Decade has taken place previously in creative hubs of London, Barcelona and Saint Petersburg. Since then Designcollector have presented the work of more than 150 pioneering, exploratory and celebrated artists working between the physical and the digital, as well as partnering with organisations including OFFF, Ello, FutureFest and Creative Debuts. In 2017 Designcollector collaborated with Sedition to present Digital Decade 5 at Ugly Duck in London, for which Sedition held an open call for artists making screen-based works. Since 2020 the digital art found its relief in rapid environment of NFT art scene. Worth to mention I have become a vocal part of world NFT Community started by promoting artists. In 2020 collaborated with Sedition to present Special Edition of Digital Decade. For this iteration, held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, artists have creative speculative and critical comments on how phygital life may change post-pandemic. The artists participating present works in a range of media including photography, audiovisual collaborations, 3D digital sculptures and animation. In 2021 I started to help leading NFT platform Superare with curation and editorial, since then I have onboarded 30+ artist and set a dozen of interviews with artists. In 2022 I have teamed up with a long-time partners OFFF Festival to curate several artists on their new platform and started a collaboration again with Sedition Art (London) to create an online show later this year
