The
.ART
Registry, in
collaboration with GP Bullhound
Allstars, has unveiled the finalists
for the prestigious Digital Innovation in Art Award 2024 (DIIA). This year's
finalists represent the forefront of
innovation, creativity, and technology
in the art world, with projects that push
boundaries and redefine the possibilities of digital art.
Many in the UK and Europe view the GP Bullhound
Allstars awards as a tech world version of the "Oscars," so sponsoring the DIIA is a
natural fit for .ART. The
finalists were chosen after a rigorous evaluation
by a nine-member independent jury
that provided expertise in museum leadership, Web3
technology, domain industry insight and
international curatorial acumen. For the second
consecutive year Paul Nicks, GoDaddy Vice
President for Domain Investors, represented our
industry on the jury. When their work was done,
the jury had winnowed an extraordinary semi-final
field down to these six finalists: |
