'Artists in Residence' Returns to Art Basel Miami Beach
The Solana art world is coming back to Art Basel Miami Beach. As digital technologies like blockchain become increasingly intertwined in daily lives, nature remains a constant presence. See how artists are using this groundbreaking technology.
Digital Transformation: From Nature to Machine
The groundbreaking 'Artists in Residence' exhibition retur. Three Solana artists will demonstrate what it means to make art onchain. Each artist will host a live studio on site at Art Basel to showcase how they blend digital inspiration with traditional mediums and reshape artist-patron dynamics.
Leo Caillard
A contemporary artist internationally recognized for the quality of his marble sculptures as well as for his digital creations at the cutting edge of new technologies. Leo Caillard opens a dialogue between eras through the use of these two mediums and the unique aesthetic of his art, mixing figures from ancient statuary and abstract digital forms.
"The tech in the Solana ecosystem pushes the limits of digital art, allowing me to integrate my classical art background with modern practices. The Solana community focuses on creating meaningful connections between physical and digital art, making it a perfect environment for innovation and exploration.”
“Building on Solana has been life-changing for me as an artist. It has allowed me to create and share the art I love, rather than working on commissions for others. The supportive and welcoming community made it possible for my work to be seen and appreciated, transforming my experience and helping me stand out in an often saturated market."
Laura El
A New York City-based artist known for her intricate line work and narrative-driven illustrations. Her vibrant yet detailed pieces often portray cityscapes and capture everyday moments of the people who live there, creating a sense of connection. Her work carries a touch of nostalgia, blending the real and the fantastical in a way that feels both fresh and intimately familiar.
Culture Hacker
A storyteller and media artist, working across film, theatre, games, and code. An alumnus of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, Lance is recognized as a pioneer for his innovative blending of storytelling, art, and technology. He has presented work at MoMA, the New Museum, PAM, ArtYard, TIFF Lightbox, as well as the Sundance, Tribeca, Cannes, and New York Film Festivals. He is a Professor of Professional Practice at Columbia University, where he also founded the school’s Digital Storytelling Lab.
“The Solana ecosystem has created a space where digital art can thrive natively onchain. There is a vibrant arts community and an opportunity to leverage innovative tools. Art has the power to connect people in meaningful ways and it's an important complement in an ecosystem with strong builders."
