“Artists have always been pioneers of new media. Through the partnership, we’re handing them a set of tools that allow the blockchain itself to become part of the artwork - interactive, experimental, and alive." – Aleksandra Artamonovskaja, Head of Arts at Trilitech (Tezos R&D Hub)
Centered on Tezos’s FA2 smart contract standard, the program brings together artists, technologists, and institutions to experiment with blockchain as a material, exploring new forms of interaction, collaboration, and expression.
The FA2 is a standardized framework in the Tezos ecosystem that allows anyone to create and manage different digital assets. It enables artists to design multi-asset structures, batch operations, and low-cost transactions, empowering them to think beyond static NFTs toward more dynamic, performative, and participatory art.
From November 2025 through January 2027, the initiative will feature five artist commissions. The program provides institutional and technical support providing the expertise needed to realize ambitious, technically complex works. Each project will be presented on the 50-foot Schlosser Media Wall and each artist pair will also share a “production artifact” from their process, such as source code, sketches, or generative tools, available for the public to collect at no cost thanks to objkt-powered live-minting tool.
The opening commission, by James Bloom and Gottfried Jäger, situates the program within a broader history of artists engaging with systems and conceptual frameworks. The centerpiece of the cycle brings together powerhouse artist pairings: Sarah Friend with Yehwan Song, Rhea Myers with Linda Dounia, and Jonas Lund with Yoshi Soedoka.
Running alongside the commissions, the FA2 Fellowship, an open workshop series, provides a space for artists of all backgrounds to learn, collaborate, and experiment. Participants will be eligible to apply for microgrants ($500–$1,000) to support the development of their projects. One final project will be selected for presentation on the Media Wall.
In addition, the program will also host live public events featuring performances and time-based works that expand the range of practices presented. Together, these projects explore and celebrate the Tezos blockchain as an artistic medium which allows for flexible, conceptual explorations.
