Born Digital is a benefit auction and an online exhibition made to support the activities of the Link Art Center on the online auction platform Paddle8. The event - the first with this focus taking place in Europe on this scale - includes more than 50 works kindly provided by 33 artists. The Link Art Center is the first Italian organization to collaborate with Paddle8, an online auction house that partners with non-profit organizations to present their benefit auctions online. All the featured artists are either based or born in Europe. The selection includes different generations working with the digital medium and within the digital environment, from early pioneers to younger artists still in their twenties. The selected works display a wide range of formats, and respond in different ways to the issue of collecting the digital.
