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.



Make a Scene! X Cosa Design & Decor

Elami was very happy to play a small role in uniting the amazing talents of Make a Scene! and Cosa Design & Decor for a special event.

Cosa creates incredible floral designs primarily for weddings in Bali and Jakarta and their work has been featured in Martha Stewart and Junebug Weddings. Despite not being Bali-centric in terms of design, they gamely agreed to combine with Make a Scene! to realize an incredible range of Bali-inspired table centerpieces and floral arrangements with woven coconut leaf components by Make a Scene!.
