CADAF Online

CADAF Online is the third edition of the Contemporary And Digital Art Fairs (CADAF) after New York City in May 2019 and Miami in December 2019.

CADAF focuses on supporting digital initiatives in the art market. CADAF’s physical fairs in New York and Miami presented new media and digital art from a selection of contemporary artists and galleries. CADAF Online will provide an engagement and sales platform for this community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The custom-designed platform allows for CADAF Online to be a synchronous event that will take place online. Keeping the goals of artists and galleries in mind, the online event has been developed to be social, free for visitors, and adaptable for other art fairs and partners who would benefit from participating. A great deal of care has been taken to not simply create a website for art online. Instead, digitally-native solutions have been utilized to re-imagine the art fair for online consumption.

Interrupting Entropy : Selections From The Betlach Collection

Interrupting Entropy : Selections From The Betlach Collection

Cosmic Ancestry was selected to be included into the exhibit Interrupting Entropy along with Ann Hamilton, Omer Fast, Rina Banerjee and other artists in the Betlach Collection.

"Art has been in my blood for as long as I can remember,” said Betlach. “ Art relays a visual ecstasy, calming and pleasure.  Art can mean something different to every individual.”

"Jill Taffet's moving projections also invoke a mood somewhere between a scientific mapping of the cosmos and the intimate quirky spaces of the inner mind. Her abstract digital projection Cosmic Ancestry uses light and sound to invoke the ever changing and dynamic aspect of the cosmos reframed into a spatial installation. The personal and phenomenological nature of her work seems to suggest the ways in which forces of nature are ultimately experienced as intimate and subjective encounters by each individual."*

Light Assembly, Verge Art Miami

Light Assembly

Light Assembly is both a film festival like no other, and a mass-scale showcase of video art and architecture. In the last decade, visual artists such as Miranda July, Steve McQueen and Julian Schnabel have legitimized the crossover from visual art to filmmaking. Light Assembly is the first-ever film festival dedicated to assisting artists in that crossover between art and film. Light Assembly is also a pilot video art and architecture exposition program unique in the world. Conceived as a beta of Time Zones Chicago, planned for premier in late Summer of 2013, the goal of Light Assembly is to combine large-scale video art projection with the citywide canvas of Miami Beach and mainland Miami’s modern architectural marvels and historic landmarks.
