Guest of Honor: Seth Goldstein
“I want to attend the Generative Art Summit to learn from the pioneers of generative art and deepen my understanding of its history. This knowledge will help me further develop Bright Moments as a global community of generative artists, curators, and collectors. Having hosted “NFT Art Berlin” at Kraftwerk in 2022, I’m looking forward to creating new live minting experiences in Berlin, and beyond, that build upon the knowledge I gain from the summit.”
