Digitalism is more than an exhibition—it is defining a moment in art history.
By presenting some of the best artists (‘digitalists’) working at the forefront of art and technology today, we are formally recognising Digitalism as a distinct new art movement, sitting alongside
the very best of Modern British and Contemporary traditional art at the British Art Fair.
This exhibition serves as a critical platform to contextualise and codify Digitalism, providing a narrative that traces its development and highlights its cultural significance. Through this exhibition, we aim to cement Digitalism’s place within the broader history of art, ensuring that its contributions are acknowledged and studied for generations to come.

Jack Kaido is a pseudonymous digital abstract painter cited by Christie’s as one of the artists at the forefront of digital art today that are influencing the future of the medium.

One of the best-selling digital abstract artists working today, Kaido’s paintings have been exhibited internationally, sold at Christie’s and Sothebys, and sent into space and aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Kaido’s art explores abstraction in the modern age, with the internet viewed as canvas, tool and subject matter. Collage-like abstractions are woven with the digital language he lives and interacts with – internet web pages and tabs, computer UI, social media, pixellation, glitch and text – in what has been referred to as ‘Tabstraction’ for its recurring use of browser tabs. A crypto-native, Kaido publishes his art through blockchain; crypto-art collected via crypto-currency.

Kaido cites Willem de Kooning as his most significant influence and similarly experiments with styles and the inclusion of both abstraction and the representational as the Dutch-American painter. 

Other influences include the prehistoric cave painters, Japanese woodblock artists, Cubists, Abstract Expressionists and contemporary and crypto-artists, including Cecily Brown and AERTIME.

In April 2023, Christie’s exhibited Kaido’s art at their Rockefeller Centre in New York, with both digital paintings selling in the concurrent auction. A digital painting from a June 2024 Sothebys auction smashed its estimate, selling for $38,400. In January 2024, one of Kaido’s earliest surviving physical paintings became one of the few artworks humanity has sent to space and aboard the ISS as part of Axiom Space’s AX-3 mission, launched from Florida on SpaceX’s Dragon 9 spacecraft.

Collectors include Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and many of the world’s leading digital art collectors, among them Vincent van Dough, Artifaction and Bharat Krymo. He is represented by the distinguished contemporary digital art gallery Art of This Millennium (AOTM).
