Bridging the physical public art world and the digital art sphere with the power of NFT technology

Join us for our first NFT-focused iteration of CODAsummit, a 1.5-day event designed to explore the exciting world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and their potential for artists working in the commissioned art domain.

Our lineup of expert speakers includes renowned public artists, public art commissioners, and NFT industry insiders who will delve into the technical, legal, and creative aspects of NFTs. You'll have the chance to hear from leading practitioners on how they are using NFT technology to create new art forms and to monetize their work, engage with their audiences, and push the boundaries of what's possible in the public art realm.

Concurrent with CODAsummit NFT will be the exhibition:  Phygital Cities of the Future.  This groundbreaking NFT exhibition will showcase artworks by artists who create in the public sphere alongside digital artworks by artists moving into the physical sphere. 

Whether you're an experienced NFT creator or a newcomer to the world of NFTs, CODAsummit NFT is an opportunity to learn, network, and get inspired by the future of art in the digital age.

CODAsummit NFT is produced by CODAMADE and hosted by Mad.

CODAworx has partnered with Yes We Are Mad (Mad), a cutting-edge creative agency, to form CODAMADE, a new NFT marketplace focused on public art.

Featured Speakers

Refik Anadol

The leading pioneer of the new field of AI and art, Refik Anadol was born in Istanbul, and now lives and works in Los Angeles, where he operates Refik Anadol Studio.

Anadol's work often explores the intersection of technology, data, and the built environment, and he has been recognized for his innovative use of machine learning and other advanced technologies in his projects. His largest project to date is "The Space Between Dreams and Reality," an installation that used machine learning algorithms to analyze the architecture of the Los Angeles Central Library and create a visual representation of the building's "memory." The installation was displayed on the library's exterior walls and featured constantly changing patterns and imagery. Anadol also created a limited edition NFT of the installation, which was sold at auction. The NFT included a digital version of the installation, as well as a physical component that was a 3D-printed model of the library.

Marjorie Guyon

Layers of history and time are a constant in the work of Marjorie Guyon. One of the hallmarks of Guyon’s work is that the image at once emerges from yet disappears into what appears to be an ancient surface. Yet, she also seems to be lighting the path of time. It may well be the dynamic between the two impulses that gives her haunting images their appeal. To build her compositions, she works in collage and applies marble dust and pigment - earth from all over the world to create an archeology of the soul. Her work is at once both contemporary and ancient - a blend of mythology and graffiti. 

Born in NY, Guyon’s work and public projects appear in public and private collections across the United States. Her decades long standing gallery affiliations with George N’Namdi and David Lusk placed her work with collectors and institutions across the country. In 2009, she began a pivot into public projects – moving from the private space of the gallery to the public space of the street. 

Urbandesign.org defines Civic Art as the sum total of the architecture, public spaces, monuments, urban design, and landscape of a city, but it is far more than the sum of the parts. Civic Art is place making into art that creates timeless civic values and helps define cultures.  Guyon's projects integrate the transcendent experience of art into the everyday business of living - reminding us of all of the power we have to transform the world.
