The participants had the chance to explore the exhibition, learn about NFTs, and discover new collaborative possibilities.

“The AKNEYE showcase is truly exceptional, offering a unique connection between the creator, viewer, and the space itself,” stated Vigen Badalyan, CEO of Fastex.

Daniel Danielyan, representative of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Armenia, highlighted the significance of this year’s exhibition in Venice as Armenia is represented by two ambassadors, both physically in the Republic of Armenia and through the AKNEYE digital platform.

Anastasia Douson, the curator of the Art Department, emphasized that the AKNEYE digital showcase combines traditional artistic approaches with contemporary technological solutions. The fusion of sculpture and NFT technology provides viewers with the opportunity to experience new dimensions by merging the physical and digital worlds.
