​Presented by ArtMeta in partnership with Arab Bank Switzerland, Right Click Save, and Le Random.

​Digital art spans more than 70 years of experimentation among art, science, and technology. The Digital Art Summit brings together artists, collectors, curators, and institutional voices for a full day of conversations at the intersection of art history, technology, and cultural infrastructure. Taking place during Art Basel week, the Summit examines how digital art is made, collected, legitimized, and remembered, tracing a line from the earliest computational practices to the systems and protocols shaping artistic production today.

​Hosted by Justin Gilanyi, Curator & Cultural Architect, SILK (United States / Saudi Arabia)
