The number of artists invited to this project is amazing, with many big names like Maciej Kuciara, Marek Okon or Michal Lisowski. As it's stated on the official website:
For three weeks the showroom of Sopot Auction House will be filled up
with works created using the the latest technology. The works of Polish
artists who have achieved international success, including: Maciej
Kuciara, Michał Lisowski, Darek Zabrocki, Marcin Jakubowski, Przemek
Kotyński and many others. Among exhibited works, the digital sculpture
will not be missed. The exhibition will be crowned with the auction that
will take its place in the history as the first auction of digital
works with the possibility of purchasing works using the digital
currency better known as Bitcoin.
I personally think it's an amazing event and I'm really proud of the fact that it's organised in Poland. Interesting is the fact, that many polish concept artists and digital painters are more known outside the Poland and this event will in a way introduce them to the audience from their home country (and let's face it, who haven't heard of Maciej Kuciara? Naughty Dogs and Last of Us plus many awesome movies).
Organisators of this event are already planning future exhibitions and auctions. Even though it's been only few days since the event launched it met already a very large interested from media and public, not only in Poland, but also on the foreing forums (because, who doesn't want a signed piece of concept from TLOU? printed on canvas in extremly good quality, with all the marks to proof it's not just some random print-out?).
Gamezilla.com (polish game website) did some very cool interviews, both with creators of the event and some of the artists, unfortunately is all in polish language (link).
