Art Basel's global initiative dedicated to art of the digital era
Zero 10 is Art Basel’s global initiative exploring the evolving relationship between art and technology.
Named in homage to 0,10 — Malevich’s revolutionary 1915 exhibition — Zero 10 builds upon this groundbreaking legacy to champion emergent forms of artistic practice by bringing together artists, galleries, technologists, and cultural voices across contemporary digital culture.
To begin at zero is to create space for new ways of seeing.
Spanning code-based work, algorithmic systems, immersive installation, robotics, light, and sound, Zero 10 engages with an art world reshaped by new technologies, audiences, and forms of participation.

Hong Kong Spotlight: DeeKay Kwon’s DeePle The People
Presented at Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, digital artist DeeKay Kwon’s DeePle The People (2026) transformed the Hong Kong Club Building into an 80-meter-high animated portrait of the city.
Commissioned by Art Basel Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the work rendered a bustling urban intersection in Kwon’s nostalgic video game aesthetic, populated by characters of different ages, races, and occupations moving through a landscape dotted with recognizable symbols of Hong Kong.
Both a vibrant portrait of the city and a broader reflection on collective experience, the work presents Hong Kong as both a distinct local environment and a universal stage for connection.
