Last week we were invited to participate in the Art of Tech exhibit at AFA Gallery on Greene Street. Huge crowd; a mix of the tech savvy, blockchain enthusiasts, artists and their friends, and just New York people. We were also thrilled to have Jessica Lin and Carolina Bermudez, two DADA artists who live in New York.
Bea and Cromo got things started
We have done live drawing events before and usually people are hesitant to draw, but last night they jumped right in. We created a special conversation just for the event and we called upon our artists all over the world to be at the ready. Lo and behold, everyone showed up to the party, from Argentina, Chile, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Venezuela, USA, Holland, Italy, Spain.

Artists in Europe were drawing into the wee hours. We are grateful to the artists who were present: Adriana López, Alex Henry, Beatriz Ramos, Boris Toledo Doorm, Brian Mosch, Cromomaníaco, Fernanda Baldeón Roca, Hernán Cacciatore, Javier Errecarte, Jonathan D-Arte, Lorena Pinasco, María García, Massel Quispe, Moxarra, Norma Xelda Jara, Serena Stelitano and Talita Sotomayor. Looks like they had lots of fun:

We realized that the real-time aspect of collaboration is something that we are going to be seriously pursuing once all of you come to your senses and invest on DADA ;-).
As Bea, our founder, who was joining from abroad, said, she could feel the effervescence of people collaborating in real-time. We want to be able to provide this experience in the future.

Our artists were having such a ball, that they just continued other conversations into the night.
We are going to be doing more of these virtual-real life-real-time mashups. Stay tuned!
