TAEX Presents Kevin Abosch's 'Testing Ground' at Art Basel Hong Kong, Discussing Digital Art Evolution

At Art Basel Zero 10 in Hong Kong, TAEX is showcasing 'Testing Ground,' a new series by digital artist Kevin Abosch. The works feature mutable environments where memory, material, and computational processes interact. Curator Stefanie De Regel discussed the digital art ecosystem in Asia, noting Hong Kong's role in legitimizing digital and AI-based art through institutions like M+ and events like Digital Art Fair Asia. She highlighted that Asian collectors often approach digital art with less hesitation than Western counterparts, viewing it as part of technological culture. Abosch reflected on artistic responsibility in AI practice, emphasizing authorship as accountability and distinguishing artistic AI from technological production by its focus on friction and politics. The discussion also covered the market correction post-NFT boom, institutional recognition of AI art, and the future of digital art as it integrates into contemporary art.
