Prominent creative technologist and artist Jessie Hughes has been appointed as the Gallery of Modern Art's 2022 Digital Resident.
Where to with Web3? That’s a question for 2022 QAGOMA Resident Jessie Hughes. In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns have disrupted how audiences experience art, while the emergence of digital marketplaces and technologies like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have created new ways for artists to engage with their viewers.
Jessie will research emerging technologies, including Web3, NFTs and AI, and what roles these might play in reinventing engagement with exhibitions and works of art in the QAGOMA Collection.

In response to these rapidly changing conditions, QAGOMA is making major upgrades to its digital presence, including digitising the entire Collection, increasing our digital capabilities and focusing more on digital content production. All this digital activity aims to make the Gallery’s entire Collection accessible virtually to everyone through photography, 3D imaging, timelapse records of installation and more.
The rapid uptake of NFTs in the art world has not only presented exciting opportunities for galleries but also raised concerns about sustainability, retaining value of artworks, and equitable access for audiences. As a publicly funded cultural institution, it is important for QAGOMA to be at the forefront of this change, to be part of the dialogue, and to get the balance right.
