Step into ‘History Encoded’, an immersive jubilee exhibition by Project 22 collective tracing the evolution of digital art—from its algorithmic foundations to today’s cutting-edge generative, immersive, and blockchain-driven practices. Featuring 11 pioneering digital artists, this is not a retrospective; it’s a living narrative—where today’s visionary creators engage with the legacies that shaped digital creativity.

Experience generative systems by Julian Hespenheide, whose practice reflects the influence of one of digital art’s earliest pioneers, active since 1965 and his former mentor. Discover early explorations of net art through LIA’s original 2001 piece—a rare glimpse into the pioneering days of online generative art—and Casey Reas’ iconic Process 6 from 2005, a seminal software-based artwork that helped define the creative coding movement. Explore the rise of blockchain and AI-driven art with works by Hackatao, early champions of NFT culture, and OBVIOUS, whose AI-generated portrait famously sold at Christie’s in 2018, sparking a global conversation around art and artificial intelligence.

We welcome you to join us for this timely and thought-provoking program that honours the history of digital art while engaging with the creative technologies shaping its future.
