Hidden Gems: Miami Art Week 2024 Art Picks

UNTITLED ART FAIR

Kate Vass Gallery - BOOTH A43

It is incredible how artworks that were created only a few years ago with the use of AI are today already considered as “vintage AI.” This is the speed of technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence that take us on mesmerizing journeys that travel at the speed of light.

In the Untitled Fair, you will find a few galleries presenting digital art and artists using different techniques. Amongst a vibrant catalog of old and new, Kate Vass Gallery presents some AI works created by pioneers of the genre, early artworks created with technologies such as GANs from around 2017-2018, and the foundational DeepDream from 2015, while emphasizing AI’s historical development and innovative potential in art.

Here, amazing works by pioneers Mario Klingemann, David Young, Alexander Mordvintsev, and Kevin Abosch.

Bitform - BOOTH A39

After many years and still being one of the pillars in art galleries presenting digital art, founded in November 2001, Bitform presents works by notable artists using mixed media. One is the Minomirror by Aureia Harvey, a pioneer artist exhibited this year at the Museum of Moving Image in New York, with a survey of 40 years of her work.

Tender - Booth B36

Tender, the gallery for generative art, is presenting a curated show titled Lore: “The stories we tell, the images we paint, the shared history we conjure to frame the present moment: behind each personal narrative and social evolution is lore – waiting to be encoded by words, brushes, cameras, code, and more.”

Already last year, Tender presented a selection of generative art, finding its physical manifestation in works created with the most diverse techniques. This year, on display Material Histories by Emilie Xie, 6 unique hand-embroidered canvases. Find the series here.

Gretchen Andrew presents Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty, a series of robotic paintings that confront the standards of universal beauty that Facetuning algorithms apply, scarred by our collective desire for perfection. Find the series here.

And finally, a unique series of pigment prints by Ganbrood.

TAEX - BOOTH C84

We have been so lucky to see, experience and breath poetry in the digital art space for a few years now. Sasha Stiles, one of the masters and pillars of poetry meeting new technologies like AI, is exhibited with three excerpts from Every Poem Starts with a Seed.

Find the triptych here.

DIGITAL ART FAIR

LA COLLECTION x Objkt

If we finally see an increasing presence of digital art in historic art fairs, we also witness new ones coming to light uniquely to showcase and discuss digital art native to the medium and focus on the discourse of the intersection of art and technology.

As a day event, the Digital Art Fair hosts a group of amazing artists.

The pioneer digital and crypto artist Martin Lukas Ostachowski, also known as the first crypto art historian, is presented by La Collection x Objkt. As typical MLO, the works explore themes related to blockchain and crypto through his specific medium of clouds.

Find the catalog here. And the artist’s website here. Link to the marketplace here.

MakersPlace

As one of the pioneer NFT marketplaces and art galleries, MakersPlace also participates in the Digital Art Fair, offering a spectacular selection of Ai and generative art. If you want to get lost in the feelings and expressions of different seasons, you can’t miss the work of Ivona Tau, who trained custom AI models with personal travel images that capture all the months of the year.

Here is February, even if we are in December. Because it’s always a good time to abandon ourselves to some blue.
