“With the first edition of The Digital Art Mile, we aim to make digital art accessible to a broad audience. The educational aspect of our conference program is particularly important to us. We distinguish ourselves from other fairs and conferences by delivering content and context through our curatorial program, contributing to the canonization of digital art history. As a boutique fair, we focus on depth rather than the spectacle of entertainment economy.”
