Crucially, the board also serves as creative thought partners, helping develop the impact of experiential art and the spatial internet across the broader cultural landscape. With deep expertise ranging from AI to generative and beyond, the Wild Curatorial Board determines, supports, and propels Wild Signature collections that are on the bleeding edge of immersive digital art.

Meet the Curatorial Board

Deafbeef is an artist and engineer based in Toronto, Canada. Over the past 20 years, he has been tinkering in diverse areas overlapping art and technology, including music, sound recording, computer animation, blacksmithing, and generative art. He received his BASc in electrical engineering and MSc from the University of Toronto, where he contributed to internationally recognized research in the field of computer animation. As a classically trained musician with a strong background in sound technology, he brings together all his interests in a bespoke art practice, using low-level computer code and a minimal toolset to craft raw information into audiovisual artworks. His recent generative works adopting blockchain technology as both subject and medium have gained wide attention.
According to Deafbeef, “It’s a great honor to support Wild’s mission to propel collectors and creators alike to experiment with, and create, a new frontier for immersive digital art. I’m also so excited to contribute and learn from the other esteemed members of Wild’s Curatorial Board.”

Casey Reas

Casey Reas is an American artist whose software, prints, and installations have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions at institutions and galleries around the world. Reas is best known for having created, with Ben Fry, the Processing programming language. He is a professor at UCLA and a co-founder of Feral File. Born in Troy, Ohio, he studied design at the University of Cincinnati, and he later earned a Master’s in Media Arts and Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology&#8217;s MIT Media Lab.
Casey Reas explains, “I’m delighted to join Wild’s Curatorial Board, alongside many incredible artists and sources of inspiration in the space. Together, we’ll support contemporary artists who redefine boundaries, reset expectations, and defy tradition.”

Holly Herndon and Mathew Dryhurst

Holly Herndon &amp; Mathew Dryhurst are artists renowned for their pioneering work in machine learning, software and music. They develop their own technology, and protocols for living with the technology of others, often with a focus on the ownership and augmentation of digital identity and voice. These technical systems not only facilitate expansive artworks across media, but are proposed as artworks unto themselves. They were awarded the 2022 Ars Electronica STARTS prize for digital art. They have sat on ArtReview’s Power 100 list since 2021. Holly holds a Ph.D in Computer Music from Stanford CCRMA, Mathew is largely self taught. They have held faculty positions at NYU, the European Graduate School, Strelka Institute and the Antikythera Program at the Berggruen Institute. They publish their studio research openly through the Interdependence podcast, and recently co-founded Spawning, an organization building a consent layer for AI. Their critically acclaimed musical works are released through 4AD.
According to Holly Herndon and Mathew Dryhurst, “As passionate believers in the intersection of art, AI and innovation, we’re honored to serve as Advisors to Wild from the earliest days of dreaming up what could be. Now we are putting these dreams into action. We’re delighted to team up with an incredible group of creative thought leaders, building an interdisciplinary and artist-first approach to discovering and defining a bold new world for all of us.”

Mitchell F. Chan

Mitchell F Chan is a Toronto-based conceptual and public artist. He is perhaps best known for creating “Digital Zones of Immaterial Pictorial Sensibility” in 2017, which was one of the first major NFT art projects. His works explore the ways that humans navigate the world around them and how technology and social structures affect our behavior. He is interested in themes of ownership and commodification of art. His work has been covered and discussed in numerous media outlets, including Artforum, Art In America, VICE, Canadian Art, Slate, the Toronto Star, and Gizmodo.
Mitchell F Chan remarks, “It’s been a great privilege to be on the Wild journey from its earliest days as a Mentor in the Residency to now serving on this impressive Curatorial Board with colleagues and friends from across the industry. Together we are defining a new genre of bleeding-edge art and I’m excited to play a part.”

Nancy Baker Cahill

Nancy Baker Cahill is an award-winning interdisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice focuses on systemic power, consciousness, and the human body. She works in augmented reality and virtual reality, drawing and video, among other media. Her monumental augmented reality (AR) artworks extend and subvert the lineage of land art, often highlighting the climate crisis, civics, and a desire for more equitable futures. She is the Founder and Artistic Director of 4th Wall, a free, AR public art platform exploring site interventions, resistance, and inclusive creative expression. She recently gained national acclaim for installing an exploding uterus in AR above the US Supreme Court, in response to the evisceration of abortion rights in the US.
According to Nancy Baker Cahill, “Experiential art as a medium coupled with critical social issues has long been a personal focus of mine. I’m honored to join my fellow Wild Curatorial Board members to support artists who push boundaries, take risks, and create a future not yet imagined.”

Driven by a deep interest in the philosophy of technology, Harm van den Dorpel’s work transcends the medium and has pushed the art world forward in the appreciation of digital art. One of the first artists to create and sell on-chain artwork in 2015, well before the advent of NFTs as we know them today, Harm challenges us to understand and interrogate the systems we exist within. Over the past two decades, he has pushed the limits of what’s possible with generative art, creating pieces that explore concepts of randomness, creative control, language, and art. His internet-based art gallery left.gallery was a pioneering space that was one of the first in the world to sell digitally editioned, code-based artworks.
Harm van den Dorpel notes, “As an early adopter of making art on the blockchain, it’s been fantastic to see the explosion of this new dimension. I’ve enjoyed serving as a Mentor in Wild’s Residency and am eager to expand my impact as a member of the Curatorial Board as we seek to support and celebrate even more artists who are experimenting with the unknown.”

Gabriel Massan (from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary visual and digital artist. Combining storytelling and worldbuilding, Massan creates worlds that simulate and narrate situations of inequality within the Latin American experience. Across 3D animation, digital sculpture, gamification, sound, and interactive installations, the artist investigates themes around subversive otherness and fictional archaeology concerning the imagination of a &#8216;Third World.&#8217; Gabriel has been recognized by ETOPIA &#8211; Center for Art &amp; Technology, the Instituto Moreira Salles, Dazed as part of the Dazed 100, Serpentine Galleries, the Bangkok Biennale Online Pavillion,The Photographers&#8217; Gallery, and X Museum. Recent and upcoming group exhibitions include: &#8216;WORLDBUILDING: Gaming and Art in the Digital Age&#8217; (Julia Stoschek Collection, 2022; Centre Pompidou-Metz, 2023); &#8216;Canon!&#8217; (Frieze No.9 Cork Street, 2022) and &#8216;Possible Agreements&#8217; (Mendes Wood DM, 2022).&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s a great honor to join Wild&#8217;s Curatorial Board alongside artists and leaders I&#8217;ve long admired. I&#8217;m a great believer in Wild&#8217;s position as a facilitator of encounters between creative potentials and their dedication to maximizing the impact of these connections by providing innovative and novel tools. Through Wild&#8217;s Residency, I&#8217;ve enjoyed the benefits of collaborating alongside impressive artists across the globe, and I&#8217;m excited to celebrate and propel their collections forward,&#8221; remarks Gabriel Massan.
