During Art Dubai Week 2025, 100 collectors joined forces with Inloco Gallery and Danae to host a unique evening in Al Quoz, Dubai, bringing together more than 30 guests around art, AI, and conversation.

Held inside the industrial yet elegant setting of Inloco, the dinner gathered a diverse mix of collectors (both local and international), artists, and cultural voices, all drawn by a shared curiosity for digital practices and the future of collecting.

The evening centered on the work of Iranian artist Mohsen Hazrati, whose ongoing Fãl Project bridges Persian literary traditions with AI-generated experiences. Inloco presented a selection of Mohsen’s phygital pieces, showcasin his porcelain birds, which act as portals that, when scanned, offer an AI-generated divination rooted in classical Persian poetry.

As guests arrived, they were invited to receive their own divination, prepared by the artist, and participate in an AI workshop led by Danae, co-created with the artist. Inspired by the divinations crafted by Mohsen, each person generated a unique image and contributed to a larger collective piece. The experience allowed for personal reflection and exploration while gently introducing the creative potential of artificial intelligence in an artistic context.

The Iranian dinner that followed brought everyone to the same long table, surrounded by art, flowers, and rich conversation. As part of the evening, Pauline Foessel, founder of 100 collectors, shared the vision behind the club, its presence in Lisbon and globally, and the upcoming launch of a Dubai chapter.

“For us, it was important to create a moment that felt intimate yet forward-looking, where people could connect over ideas, not just artworks. This evening was about presence, experimentation, and planting seeds.”

The collaboration between the three teams felt seamless. Inloco’s commitment to innovation, from exhibiting digital work to building metaverses with urban artists, made them an ideal partner. Danae’s ability to guide people through artistic tools in an accessible way added depth to the experience. And for 100 collectors, it was a meaningful step in connecting with the region’s collector base and exploring the future of digital collecting in Dubai.
