Digital reshaping art: Refik Anadol, the KAWS gallery in Fortnite

The Cultural Frontline

Available for over a year

Turkish, LA-based media artist Refik Anadol who uses data and AI to make new types of artwork, rethink art spaces, and visualise computer ‘dreams’. In his studio, he describes his work – which creates NFTs, 'data paintings' and 'sculptures', and digital immersive galleries, and is now moving to the metaverse. Plus, the gallery in the metaverse: the KAWS street art exhibition where art lovers are joined by virtual cartoon visitors – and which is now the first art show in Fortnite. And we hear from the women and non-binary creatives who want to make NFTs more diverse to improve representation in art.
