Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The show is on view until 20 June 2021
Ludwig Museum – Museum of #contemporaryart, Budapest
 
The BarabásiLab show will reopen to the public the incredibly interesting data art by the world-famous network researcher Albert-László Barabási, and his scientist-artist collective known as BarabasiLab. Featuring the Global Art Network and a mapping of the Hungarian Art scence, it, invites critics and the public to enter into a dialogue.
 
The reopening coincides with the release of the BarabasiLab's latest network mapping project in #collaboration with #thenewyorktimes, focusing on NFTs, perhaps the most discussed topic in the art world today.
 
Quoting Barabasi's New York Times Guest Essay,: „From the moment I learned about the world of NFT-based artwork, I've been busy doing what I do best: mapping – that is, analyzing and visually representing – the networks that help make sense of its meteoric rise. My maps shows that the market for NFT-based art is extremely insular and tightly connected, even by the standards of the art world, especially among owners who buy and sell multiple times. These features of the network for NFT-based art may help explain the enormous sales prices that we've been seeing."
 
BarabásiLab was accepted in the most prominent artist run gallery, the Foundation (https://foundation.app/barabasilab) and as an art performance it will release the map of the SuperRare Network on the platform on Monday 5pm CET. The proceeds of the sale will go to the BarabasiLab nonprofit foundation.
