Digital Art Collective Wildxyz has launched The Wild Curatorial Board, a group of ten artists that will advise the company’s artist residency program and help shape the future of immersive art.
Deafbeef, Casey Reas, Holly Herndon, and Mathew Dryhurst, as well as Mitchell F. Chan, Nancy Baker Cahill, Harm van den Dorpel, Gabriel Massan, Maria Paula Fernández, and Serwah Attafuah. These are the ten incredible people who will assist Wild in cultivating and encouraging talent in the immersive art world.
The Wild Curatorial Board will play an essential role in selecting artists for Wildxyz and developing collections that represent the best in immersive art.
They will analyze and select collections from the Residency, as well as partnerships, that demonstrate the highest level of experiential quality, as measured by meaningful interaction, conceptual depth, and digital originality, to be recognized as part of the Wild Signature.
Furthermore, the board will serve as an overall creative thinking partner, playing an essential role in spreading the impact of immersive art throughout the larger cultural environment.
They will serve as Wild community leaders, establishing new opportunities for learning, growth, and mentoring within our artistic community. They will also continue to assist Wildxyz in defining this area and the spatial internet and charting new creative paths.
Douglass Kobs, CEO of Wildxyz, stated that the board would help the company’s mission of becoming a patron of digital and experiential art.
According to him, “Everything we do at Wild is geared towards supporting and uplifting forward-thinking creatives and artists as they define the next era of the spatial internet,” said Kobs. “We also want to foster an incredibly safe, collaborative, rich space for collaboration – making Wild a place where you can truly do your best work.”
Wildxyz received a $7 million preliminary investment in March to expand its immersive art residency program. In May, Harm Van Dorpel, a member of the Wild Curatorial Board, collaborated with Mercedes-Benz and digital art collective Fingerprints DAO to create an NFT series inspired by automotive concepts.
