The Art Fair 2023 is supported by Tezos Foundation in collaboration with Tezos India

For the first time ever, India Art Fair 2023’s Outdoor Art Installation, will feature a large-scale Computational Art installation, supported by Tezos Foundation in collaboration with Tezos India.

The live and dynamic installation, titled “Computational Convergence'' will showcase generative NFT artworks by artists Karthik Dondeti, Pixelkar, Aranya and KALA made available for visitors to freely collect via smartphone on the Tezos blockchain. 

Tezos India will have four 8-foot-high kiosks with 800 editions of digital generative NFT art from each artist, totaling 3,200 unique algorithmically generated masterpieces, that fair visitors can freely collect via smartphone during this year's India Art Fair. Tezos India is also organising a workshop, Computational Thinking, for artists who want to explore how to apply computational techniques to enhance artistic practice and create more innovative works.

India Art Fair 2023’s Outdoor Art Installation ‘Computational Convergence,’ supported by Tezos Foundation, in collaboration with Tezos India, aims to introduce computational art to the attendees and galleries at IAF and experience cutting-edge intersection of art and technology for the first time as a large-scale installation in an outdoor public space. The installation will showcase generative NFT collections designed by four talented artists, Karthik Dondeti, Pixelkar नितान्त, Aranya (Ritesh Lala), and KALA (Ujjwal Agarwal), and introduce a giant infographic outlining the ‘History of Computational Art’ on its front-facing wall. 

This project is aimed at raising awareness of art forms by exhibiting the whole spectrum of computational artistic practice over the decades, with an emphasis on fx(hash) on Tezos Blockchain. Tezos India will have four 8-foot high kiosks with 800 editions of digital generative NFT art from each artist, totaling 3,200 unique algorithmically generated masterpieces, that fair visitors can freely collect via smartphone during this year's India Art Fair to be held from 9th till 12th Feb, 2023. The process will be facilitated via a QR code leading to a 3-step process. Tezos India's team will be onsite to assist people in creating a blockchain wallet and collecting the algorithmically generated work. These works can be collected free of cost until sold out when they will be available on the secondary market via fx(hash) and objkt.com.

This year, showcasing the rich artistic creations curated by participating galleries, the section will put a strong emphasis on artwork from distinguished names such as Karthik Dondeti, Pixelkar Nitant, Aranya (Ritesh Lala), and KALA (Ujjwal Agarwal).
