Gamma.io, Xverse, and Bitcoin Magazine are collaborating to launch an initiative to highlight the new medium of art, settling on the longest-lived and most secure blockchain, Bitcoin.
The three companies will showcase emerging visual artists at Bitcoin Ordinal Alley 2023, which is the first fine art gallery for Bitcoin inscriptions, presented at the world’s largest gathering of Bitcoiners. The conference will take place in Miami Beach, May 18-20. The gallery’s curation is co-led by Dennis Koch, art gallery director at Bitcoin Magazine, and Hugo Pouchard, art curator and advisor to Gamma and Xverse.
“Ordinals protocol is a remarkable technology that empowers artists and their works for the long term. The gallery will explore the evolving relationship between the art world, the medium and the crypto community,” said Pouchard.
Additionally, the press release highlights the open call for artists, describing it as “an opportunity for rising artists to showcase their work to a global audience.” Six featured artists will be selected by a curating committee comprised of members of Art Blocks, 6529, Bright Moments, The Medici Collection and others with experience in traditional art and auction houses.
Gamma Founder and CEO Jamil Dhanani said that “Gamma’s focus, since day one, has been to empower creators with simple and powerful tools to launch their works on Bitcoin. Together with Xverse, we are bringing even more visibility and exposure to emerging artists from web3, and those interested in Bitcoin for the first time.”
