For the third year in a row, Paris Photo will feature a dedicated Digital Sector curated by Nina Roehrs. To cover the event, from November 12th to 16th, NFT Morning is interviewing key galleries and artists. In this opening session, Nina shared her vision for the Digital Sector and how it has become a hub for dialogue between photography and digital culture.
We then spoke with Anne Schwanz from Office Impart and artist Jan Robert Leegte, who presents a perpetual artwork powered by an on-chain algorithm. The piece endlessly travels across a map, making random choices at each intersection. A live trace is shown at Paris Photo, and every intersection mints a new NFT as an Open Edition.
Alongside this new work, Leegte also shows Ornament, a landmark project where algorithmic patterns transform ornamental forms, exploring beauty, repetition, and digital systems.
