On the occasion of the debut of the Zero 10 Digital Sector at Art Basel Miami Beach, 100 Collectors organized two exclusive Meet the Artist tours for our community. 

On Wednesday, we began with a focused visit to two foundational figures in digital art. Our collectors met Beeple, who presented his new body of work Regular Animals, an installation featuring animatronic dogs wearing hyper-realistic silicone masks of cultural and tech figures such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Picasso, Warhol, and Beeple himself. Inside a fenced pen, these robotic “animals” roamed, capturing photographs of visitors, transforming them through AI filters tied to each mask’s persona, and “excreting” the resulting prints as satirical physical-digital artworks.
Beeple personally guided our collectors through the piece, framing it as a commentary on algorithmic vision, identity distortion, and the absurd mechanics of digital value creation.

We then met Erick Calderon (Snowfro), artist and founder of Art Blocks, who introduced Quine by Larva Labs, the historic final entry in the 500-project Art Blocks Curated series, and explained its recursive generative logic and its significance as the symbolic closure of a major chapter in on-chain generative art.

On Thursday, we hosted our full Meet the Artist walkthrough of the Zero 10 Digital Sector, during which collectors engaged with the artists on view and experienced several interactive installations presented across the sector. At Visualize Value, Jack Butcher invited collectors to perform a live credit-card transaction and receive a printed receipt as an artwork, transforming a “banal” economic gesture into a minimalist conceptual object, aligned with Visualize Value’s ethos of reducing complex ideas to clear visual form. At Bubble(s) by XCOPY, presented by Nguyen Wahed in partnership with Shape, collectors approached washing-machine-style stations to retrieve plastic bubbles containing soap and a QR code redeemable for digital “bubbles.” Bubble(s) is a dynamic artwork exploring programmable futures, expiring money, restricted travel, shrinking savings, real-time carbon fines, though here, participation remains playful and voluntary. Each bubble is programmed to burst every 24 hours for the next decade, until only one survives, becoming the final artwork kept by the last remaining collector.

A third interactive work, Appropriate Response by Mario Klingemann, presented by Onkaos, invited participants to kneel in front of a machine that generated a personalized 120-character sentence using AI. The piece explores how much meaning can fit into extreme linguistic compression, echoing the form of aphorisms and algorithmic text generation, while prompting reflection on expectation, authorship, and our shifting relationship with artificial intelligence.

Throughout the Thursday tour, collectors also met directly with the artists exhibited in the sector — from pioneering figures such as Manfred Mohr to emerging and mid-career voices including IX Shells, Andrea Chiampo, Dmitri Cherniak,Maya Man, Michael Kozlowski, Kim Asendorf and many more. The conversations were intimate and lively, revealing the range of experimentation that defined the inaugural edition of the Zero 10 Digital Sector. Across both days, our goal remained constant: to enable meaningful encounters between artists and collectors, deepen understanding of the rapidly evolving digital-art landscape, and celebrate this milestone moment at Art Basel Miami Beach.
