On Wednesday June 14 and Thursday June 15, 2023, Proof of Talk will take over the ground floor of the Musee des Art Decoratifs in Paris, with a two-day program dedicated to featuring the brilliant voices in the Web3 ecosystem and promoting exchange between them and the audience.

In today’s digital age, with the rise of smartphones, social media and instant gratification culture, we are constantly bombarded with an overwhelming amount of information from various sources. This boundless influx of information can sometimes make it difficult to allocate time and attention to art, especially to art that requires a slower and more contemplative approach to be fully appreciated and understood. Moreover, at events in which the primary focus is not art, the tendency is to browse the exhibited pieces with a quick and often distracted glance.

Curated by Luisa Ausenda, founder of Studio Leggero, “At first glance — À première vue” is an exhibition that stands out as an encompassing and thought-provoking digital art experience that demands audiovisual engagement. This show encourages the participants of Proof of Talk to deepen their viewer experience by going beyond what they see at first glance to intake the works’ full value and scope. Each artwork exhibited in this stunning venue in the heart of Paris is either deeply conceptual, tackling topics such as gender, equality and speculation, or remarkably innovative tech-wise.

The twelve artists featured in this show (Addie Wagenknecht, Andrea Bonaceto, Andrés Reisinger, Auriea Harvey, Benoit Challand, Hermine Bourdin, Rafaël Rozendaal, Sarah Meyohas, Skygolpe, Sofia Crespo, Trevor Jones and Wonderkatzi) make profound statements through their work and use the blockchain and the new technologies in such an inventive way that they are amongst the first ones in their medium to do so.

Digital art encompasses a wide range of mediums and formats, including virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence, generative art, programmable art, recombinant art and more. Most of the latter are showcased in “At first glance — À première vue,” thus challenging the attention span of the viewer, who is stimulated to understand the processes that occur in the creation of the artworks. Following the inspiration from which Proof of Talk sparked — that is, to create an event in which the conversations and exchanges happening within and beyond the program are meaningful and fruitful — “At first glance — À première vue” also seeks to activate significant dialogues and reflections. These interactions will focus on the exhibited artworks, as well as on the blockchain, which serves as the ultimate creativity boost for many of the featured artists.
