I’m pleased to announce that my work Cloud Wallets: Ascension will be exhibited at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum in Zagreb as part of “Art on the Chain: Web3 and NFTs as a New Field of Creation.” Running from October 22 to November 9, 2025, the exhibition features nine international artists and explores how blockchain and NFTs shape new forms of digital creation. Curated by Matea Bilogrivić, it is presented in collaboration with the University of Zagreb.
Art on the Chain: Web3 and NFTs as a New Field of Creation
The Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, in collaboration with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, presents an exhibition dedicated to blockchain technology and the concept of non-fungible tokens (NFTs)— innovations that have opened new doors for digital art.
Through the works of nine international artists and one piece from the State Archives in Zagreb, the exhibition explores how blockchain and NFTs can become an artistic medium rather than merely a tool for cryptocurrency trading.
The exhibition bridges technology and art, inviting visitors to explore the expanding possibilities of digital creativity. Visitors will discover: What blockchain technology and NFTs are, and why they are revolutionary, how digital art has evolved from the 1950s to today and the ways artists use new technologies to create and exhibit their work.
Exhibiting artists: Dora Bilandžić & Andrea Šarić, Brego BBX, Darko R, Vedran Klemens, Jure Labaš, Graciana Molteni, Marcel Muntyanu, and Martin Lukas Ostachowski
Curator: Matea Bilogrivić
As part of the exhibition, a museum audience study will be conducted to examine how museum communication influences the reception and understanding of digital art, offering visitors the chance to win their own NFT.

Cloud Wallet Series
The Cloud Wallets series began as a collaboration with the Paris-based platform LaCollection and speaks directly to a changing notion of value in the digital era. Through aerial cloud footage, Python-processed animation frames, and 3D renderings, the works explore how digital wallets, once simple containers for assets, have evolved into identity nodes within the Web3 ecosystem.
Rather than merely carrying tokens, wallets become metaphorical clouds: transient yet interconnected, visible yet untethered. In this sense, the series situates itself at the intersection of meteorology and mathematics, cloudscape and cryptography, asking how we assign meaning to both light and ledger.
Cloud Wallets: Ascension stands as the pivotal piece of the series, bringing these conceptual threads into a single moving image. Structured as an edition of 1, it overlays Python-generated cloud formations with high-altitude video and 3D animation, keyed to the June 3rd 2021 proposal by the European Commission on digital identity wallets.

The title “Ascension” hints at uplift of data, of memory, of infrastructure, and the work asks: what happens when our digital selves rise beyond storage into ambient presence? As part of the broader show “Art & Currency,” the piece encourages reflection on permanence and ephemerality, and how the blockchain, like a cloudscape, hovers above yet remains grounded in the human experience.
Art on Chain on OBJKT
The Nikola Tesla Technical Museum has also curated a special collection on OBJKT featuring the participating artists from the exhibition. You can explore the full collection here. Cloud Wallets: Ascension is still available, you can collect it here.
Below, you’ll find direct links to the three works from my Cloud Wallets series, along with the original post that explains the concept and creation process behind the series.
