Curator Reminds NFT Collector That MoMA Has Been In The Digital Art Game For A While

● 10/10/2023
“Digital art was already ‘canonized at MoMA’—fifty-five years ago, when they acquired Charles Csuri’s Hummingbird film in 1968, after showing it as part of their survey ‘The Machine as Seen at the End of the Mechanical Age.’”
– Buffalo AKG Art Museum Curator Tina Rivers Ryan, refuting NFT collector Cozomo de’ Medici’s hyperbolic claim that the MoMA acquisition of Refik Anadol’s Unsupervised (2022) marks a new age of institutional recognition for digital art. “There’s no need to erase the many digital artists already in their collection,” says Ryan.
