What does it mean to be an NFT artist? Join four of our exhibiting artists for an in-depth exploration of art making in the age of crypto. With Sarah Meyohas, Benjamin Gentilli (Robert Alice), Tyler Hobbs, and Dmitri Cherniak. Moderated by Clara Che Wei Peh.

Sarah Meyohas is a conceptual artist whose practice considers the nature and capabilities of emerging technologies in contemporary society. She holds dual degrees in Finance and International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania and in 2015 received her M.F.A. from Yale University. Her works have been exhibited at institutions, including: the Barbican Centre, London, United Kingdom; the Jameel Arts Center, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Ming Contemporary Art Museum, Shanghai, China.

Benjamin Gentilli (Robert Alice) is an artist and pioneer in the crypto art and NFT space. Portraits of a Mind is Robert Alice’s first series, created over a 3-year period, and the first work with an NFT that was offered at an auction house.

Generative artist Tyler Hobbs (b. 1987, United States of America) works primarily with algorithms, plotters, and paint. His practice focuses on computational aesthetics, how they are shaped by the biases of modern computer hardware and software, and how they relate to and interact with the natural world around us.

Dmitri Cherniak is a Canadian artist and coder based in New York City. His algorithmic art has been exhibited in galleries, museums and exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Miami. Above all else, Dmitri considers automation as his primary artistic medium. Dmitri’s on-chain generative art project Ringers (2021) was one of main catalysts in helping a new generation of technologically savvy collectors learn to understand and appreciate generative art.
