Wonder Fair 6.0 Digital Twin explores duality in its many forms. The rise of the digital twin in technology, where there now exists a representation and virtual model simulation of real-world physical objects, is explored and juxtaposed with concepts like the alter ego, and the persona we reflect both in the real world and the virtual space. Humans are no longer just who they appear to be in the physical world, but instead are multi-dimensional with various existing identities, including the curated social media persona, the anonymous avatar and self-appointed handle living in the virtual world, and then the real in the flesh version of the self.
Curated by Lena Viddo, Danniel Swatosh, and James Halldon, Wonder Fair 6.0 Digital Twin is a multi-media artist showcase exhibiting the work of over 70+ artists featuring NFTs, painting, sculpture, photography, light sculpture, and performance art.
The multi-disciplinary art happening features a roster of artists, from emerging young talent to established veterans from the upper echelons of the traditional art world like Maria Kreyn and Randy Polumbo, as well as NFT art stars Andre Oshea, Claire Silver, Briscoe Park, Cowboy Killer, DrifterShoots, and Synchrodogs. Special guest curator, Ukrainian born Asya Nikolaeva, founder of City X NFTwill be debuting Ukrainian artists, merging art and advocacy by donating 50% of sales to support artists in Kharkiv, supporting their families, and boosting the local art scene.
