April 15th, marked a significant milestone at 10101.art by hosting our launch event, Networking Night, at our partner gallery, Monada Art. This event, right in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Center, was a celebration of breaking down the barriers of traditional art ownership, showcasing how blockchain can make art ownership accessible to everyone, not just a select few.
As pioneers in the art-tech space, we were excited to demonstrate how our platform uses this technology to democratize art ownership. The event featured engaging talks, interactive tech displays, and an exhibit of some of the world’s most iconic artworks presented on our platform.
Monada Art Gallery
Located in the heart of Dubai’s financial district, Monada Art Gallery is more than just a space for art – it’s a hub for innovation and cultural exchange. The gallery’s dedication to revitalizing the appreciation of fine art aligns perfectly with our mission at 10101.art to democratize art ownership through technology.
Hosting our event at the Monada Art allowed us to offer a physical touchpoint for the artworks that attendees could own digitally. This blend of physical and digital presentation helped demystify the concept of art tokenization for our guests, showing how art can easily transition between the two realms. Our collaboration ensures that every piece offered through 10101.art is not only visible online but can also be appreciated in its traditional form, in a gallery setting.
What Made the Event Special
At the Networking Night, we did our best to offer our attendees more than an ordinary launch party – we created a space to communicate, find like-minded people, and closely engage with the art world.
From the moment guests walked through the doors of the Monada Art Gallery, they entered an area where every element was thoughtfully curated to blend the aesthetic beauty of physical artworks with the dynamic potential of digital interaction. Partnering with Kuflex, we brought artworks from our collection to life with motion-responsive digital screens that reacted to guests’ movements, creating a fluid dialogue between the art and its admirers. Our mind-controlled art installation offered a hands-on experience of how technology can change perceptions and deepen engagement with art.
Adding to the evening’s allure, a custom cocktail menu inspired by the iconic artists tantalized the senses, with each drink reflecting the essence of the art it represented. Meanwhile, a DJ set filled the space with energetic beats, perfectly complementing the evening’s fusion of art, technology, and community spirit.
Meeting 10101.art Team
One of the highlights of the evening was the opportunity for attendees to meet and interact with project’s team. Our Founder, Irina Garasymiv, and CEO, Alina Krot, along with other team members, were present throughout the night, engaging with guests and discussing the future of art and technology. Alina Krot also delivered a captivating speech, sharing her vision for 10101.art and how we plan to revolutionize the art market through technology, making art ownership accessible to everyone.
Special Giveaway
During the event, each participant was assigned an individual number for a special giveaway. At the end of the night, we held a drawing for three pieces each of ‘Turf War’ by Banksy and ‘Campbell’s Soup’ by Warhol. The winners not only received pieces of the world-famous masterpiece, but also received offline certificates confirming their co-ownership of these original artworks.
Plans for the Future
At 10101.art, we owe so much to our supporters — you, our dedicated community. This heartfelt thank you is for you. Without your belief in our mission, none of this would be possible.
We are sure that even the most innovative and ambitious project can’t succeed without the support of its community. But our launch event, Networking Night, proved that we’re on the right track! Your enthusiasm and support at the event showed us that our vision for a more accessible art market resonates deeply.
As we move forward, we’re excited to grow and expand our reach, continuing to make the art market more accessible worldwide. From new art sales and events to the launch of our mobile app and the integration of DAO mechanics, we are on the cusp of revolutionizing how art is experienced and owned. These advancements will further empower our community, offering more ways to engage with and influence the art world.
