In March 2026, Katerine Niedinger, one of the ANTHROFUTURE PhD students, travelled to Hong Kong to conduct pilot fieldwork at two contemporary art fairs: Art Basel Hong Kong and the parallel fair Art Central. In her doctoral research, Niedinger is interested in how digital art and technologies are encountered at international art fairs, with particular attention to the sensory and imaginative dimensions of these increasingly hybrid environments. At Art Basel Hong Kong, Niedinger focused on the fair’s Asia debut of the new Zero 10 sector, dedicated to “art of the digital era.” She observed and spoke with artists, exhibitors, and visitors about their experiences of digital artworks and infrastructures. Alongside the fairs, she attended talks and events across the city, including South Korean digital artist DeeKay Kwon’s large-scale public animation DeePle the People, projected onto the façade of the Hong Kong Club Building in Central. And somewhere between fieldwork and curiosity, she bought her first NFT!
