The opening exhibition Visions From Remembered Futures was put together by SuperRare curator An Rong which includes 15 pieces of digital artwork featuring themes of science fiction and futurism. The artists work explores sci-fi themes inspired by cyberpunk landscapes—Botto, Krista Kim, and Alex Ness to name a few.

SuperRare will be rotating the installations, and are set to curate works dedicated to Pride Month, curated by Nicole Ruggiero, Samantha Carey, and Laurel Charleston; and works by Black digital artists curated by Malian artist Inna Modja

“NTFs are dynamic artworks and seeing them displayed in a gallery setting, sparking dialogue and connection has long been a goal for us at SuperRare,” said SuperRare co-founder and CEO John Crain.

The aim of the gallery space is to make digital art “accessible, beautiful, inspiring, and to foster in-person connections and conversation.”

NFT’s have exploded onto the art scene of recent, but digital artwork is still met with some scrutiny and confusion on how they can be displayed.

“There will be around 15 screens in total in the gallery,” Rong explained about the gallery’s setup. “Each screen will be dedicated to one piece of art for around 3 weeks, to counter the short attention span people would otherwise have when they view NFTs on Twitter or marketplaces.”
