Your Agenda for New York Digital Art Week 2026
by | 100c Team | November 17, 2026
New York’s digital art scene takes centre stage this November, with a week of exhibitions, performances and events bringing together artists, collectors and the wider digital art community. At the heart of the programme is Artport: A History of Internet Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a major exhibition exploring the evolution and impact of internet-based artistic practices. Beyond the museum, the city offers a series of opportunities to engage with digital art, from exhibitions and gallery openings at Gazelli Art House and Heft to performances and artist-led encounters. For 100 collectors members, we have put together an exclusive programme, including a Meet the Artist with Justin Aversano, a dinner co-hosted with OpenSea and Operator at NODE, and attendance at Operator’s Act III performance at the Whitney. Here’s what to see and do during the week, divided into events exclusive to 100 collectors members and exhibitions and activities open to everyone.

Harold Cohen at Gazelli NYC

Gazelli Art House is pleased to present Harold Cohen: Painting About Representation (1962–71), the first solo exhibition of Harold Cohen (1928–2016) at the gallery’s New York location. Bringing together seventeen works from a transformative decade in the artist’s career, the exhibition revisits Cohen’s remarkable achievements as a painter before his pioneering work with computers. From the ambitious abstract canvases that established his international reputation to the increasingly systematic investigations of his later paintings, the exhibition reveals how his enduring fascination with representation laid the intellectual foundations for AARON, one of the earliest and most influential artificial intelligence art-making systems.

Field by Leander Herzog at Nguyen Wahed + Addie's performance
OCT 28, 2026 - JAN 2027
Field is a continuous landscape of grass, generated in real time and never repeating a single frame. The work runs on its own, shifting and rendering without pause or loop, while responding to the presence of its viewers and folding them into the collective image. Visitors enter the work on multiple registers, their gestures and movements absorbed into the field as they happen. What appears as nature is entirely code.
