Entering its third edition, Zero 10 —Art Basel’s global initiative dedicated to art of the digital era —makes its debut at Art Basel’s flagship fair in Basel. This years rendition hosts an expanded, open format curated by award -winning artist Trevor Paglen and digital art strategist Eli Scheinman.

The series will showcase in the Event Hall on Messeplatz, alongside Art Basel Conversations and will feature its largest presentation to date with 20 exhibitors showcasing a compelling selection of artists at the forefront of digital artistic practices. Zero 10 reflects Art Basel’s ongoing commitment to artistic practices shaped by digital culture and their growing significance to the contemporary art landscape. Following successful editions during Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 and Art Basel Hong Kong 2026, its European debut in Switzerland expands the initiative’s
curatorial scope while deepening dialogue among artists, institutions, collectors, new and existing audiences, and digitally native communities. Trevor Paglen and MacArthur Fellow, join digital art strategist Eli Scheinman to co-curate Basel’s edition of Zero 10 around the anchor theme The Condition . Examining life in a world saturated by digital imagery, computational systems and artificial intelligence, the presentation brings together historical and contemporary voices across digital, generative, and media art.

“The art market is expanding, and the audiences driving that expansion are digitally native, globally connected, and looking for platforms that speak their language . Zero 10 at our Swiss flagship is our most ambitious answer to that challenge yet —a clear signal of our commitment to digital art as a cornerstone of our go -forward strategy —not a trend to observe, but a direction to lead. We are particularly honored to inaugurate Zero 10 in Basel hand -in-hand with Trevor Paglen, a pioneering artist trusted equally by the institutional art world and digital communities .”
