We’re thrilled to announce an exciting partnership with MakersPlace, setting the stage for a first-of-its-kind exhibition at Art Week Miami. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in our journey to redefine the intersection of traditional and digital art with technology.

At Transient Labs, we’ve always envisioned a future where the authenticity and provenance of physical art are as transparent and secure as digital works. Our latest innovation, T.R.A.C.E. (“Tokenized Records for Artwork Certification and Evolution”), is a testament to this vision. This technology will serve as a new standard for provenance, authentication, evolution, and physical and digital art documentation. The secure chip is physically attached to the artwork and is paired with a digital certificate of authenticity backed by the blockchain. Once validated by the original creator, the artwork’s lineage gets permanently logged onto the blockchain.

In collaboration with MakersPlace, we’re curating an exquisite exhibition of physical art from globally renowned artists such as WhIsBe, Patrick Amadon, Jack Kaido, Andrea Crespi, Mikael B., Botto, Hafftka, PIA, Dave Pollot, ADHD, Parin Heidari, Kyle Dunn, Jake Andrew, and Gina Choy (curated by Accelerate Art). These artworks will not only be displayed at The Sagamore Hotel South Beach but will also be available for purchase on MakersPlace. Each sale on MakersPlace unlocks the corresponding physical artwork.

This partnership with MakersPlace represents a significant step in merging the traditional art world with digital innovation. At the heart of this collaboration is our T.R.A.C.E. technology, designed to appeal to long-standing art collectors and those embracing the digital frontier. We’ve streamlined the experience, from purchasing the digital twin with fiat or cryptocurrency to the physical collection of the artwork, making it both accessible and engaging for all participants.

We invite you to join us and our artists for panel talks and live painting sessions at The Sagamore Hotel. RSVP HERE: https://makersplace.typeform.com/to/fJv7ugNW
