A meeting of digital artists and collectors: Silk Road in Bali

When we first were contacted to help produce a digital art event, we were intrigued. We’re so used to the very physical art world, one rooted in handmade pieces, brushes covered in paint, ink on paper, or chisel on wood.

The team from Silk Road proceeded to introduce us to an incredible world of digital artists during a five-day gathering where art, technology, and culture collided — starting deep in the jungles of Ubud and moving towards the ocean shores of Seminyak.

Silk Road Chapter 02 / Bali was an exploration of art in the digital age. Under the theme ‘A New Dawn: Art in the Digital Age’, this event brought together leading artists and creators to showcase their work across different mediums – digital screens, physical prints, paintings, and live performances.

Silk Road Bali offers a glimpse into what art looks like today and where it’s headed. Through exhibitions and conversations, the event explored how these shifts impact the wider art world and the way we experience creativity.

Some of the behind-the-scenes moments and setups from the four days of the event below as we went from different locations across the islands, including a beautiful outdoor amphitheatre, a bamboo hall and a discotheque.
