🎙️ ART VOICES 002 Who Decides What Matters in Art Today? Artists create the work. Collectors assign value. Curators provide context. Institutions preserve history. Media shapes attention. Algorithms influence visibility. Yet cultural significance rarely belongs to any one group. Join us for a conversation with: • Gretchen Andrew (@gretchenandrew) — Artist, writer, and former Silicon Valley engineer whose work explores AI, search systems, power structures, and cultural influence. Her work has been exhibited internationally and collected by major institutions and private collections. • Brian Beccafico (@Arthemort) — Curator, collector, and former Head of Digital Art at Sotheby’s Paris, where he helped shape conversations around collecting, cultural value, and the future of digital art. • Dorian Batycka (@temp_projects) — International journalist, editor, and curator whose work has been published by The Art Newspaper, Artnet News, Hyperallergic, and Frieze. Through his writing and curatorial practice, he examines the cultural impact of technology, media, and contemporary art. Hosted by: • Elena Zavelev (@Elena_Zavelev) — Head of Growth & Development at HUG, educator, curator, former co-founder of CADAF (@art_cadaf), and faculty member at Sotheby’s Institute of Art (@SothebysInst). Her work focuses on connecting artists, collectors, institutions, and emerging technologies while helping shape the evolving digital art ecosystem. • Farrah Carbonell (@FARRAHXYZ) — Founder & Artistic Director of ART & VAULT, curator, artist, and advocate for artists working at the intersection of art, technology, and emerging culture. Together, we'll explore: → What creates lasting value in art today? → How are institutions approaching digital culture? → What role do visibility, networks, and algorithms play in shaping cultural significance? → What are we collectively overlooking right now? 📅 Thursday, June 25 ⏰ 11:00 AM ET / 8:00 AM PT / 5:00 PM CEST Presented by @artandvault × @theHUGart × @Art_Domains The conversation is free and open to all.
