Overview
- Art Basel named artist Trevor Paglen as co-curator with Eli Scheinman for the Basel edition of Zero 10 under the theme The Condition, which will feature twenty exhibitors and mark the sector’s biggest outing.
- Major galleries including Marian Goodman, Hauser & Wirth, and Almine Rech will show digital and media work by well-known artists.
- The showcase traces roughly seven decades of instruction-based and computational art, pairing early experiments by Mary Ellen Bute, Ted Nemeth, Ben F. Laposky, and Vera Molnár with current practices.
- Highlights include Hito Steyerl’s Green Screen, an LED wall that uses recycled bottles as pixels with living plants, and DEAFBEEF’s Glitchbox, an interactive sculpture that records participant outputs to a blockchain.
- Art Basel CEO Noah Horowitz cast the Swiss edition as a cornerstone push for digital art following the sector’s 2025 Miami Beach debut that featured Beeple.
