What is EIKON?

EIKON is an Italian cultural association committed to the promotion of independent photography and digital art.

Founded in 2017, we are a collective of experts from various fields (including Robotics, Design, Architecture, Philosophy, and Finance), working together from different parts of Europe, with our headquarters in Turin and teams in Genoa and Hamburg.

Our Vision

Our goal is to become the go-to platform for digital artists and photographers, creating an accessible and inclusive space in the digital art world.

We aim to break down elitist barriers in the art world, where social networking and academic credentials often privilege certain artists over others.

We want to establish an inclusive and meritocratic artistic space where the quality of work is the sole criterion for entry, allowing emerging artists to express themselves and be recognized regardless of their background.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote the art of new media and stimulate reflection on them through events and publications.

Publications: We support our portfolio artists through online and print publications, expanding their visibility and offering the public new perspectives on new media.

Production House: We finance and independently produce the works of our artists, ensuring them royalties without requiring any contribution.

Art Gallery: We collaborate with cultural institutions in Italy and Europe, showcasing our collection and organizing events where the public can directly meet our artists.

Art Events

In 2021, we launched our first independent exhibition, entirely self-produced and free of charge for participating artists.

Since then, this has been our hallmark approach to art events, bringing together local talents with those from across Europe.

Our events offer a unique blend of art, music, and entertainment, alongside insightful reflections on new media and the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art.

YO-ME 読め

Since EIKON's foundation, we showcased and promoted the work of digital artists and photographers, initially through our social media channels and later also on the website.

In 2024, YO-ME 読め, EIKON's editorial platform, was launched, providing interviews with artists with interactive features and sharing capabilities within the community on Substack.

Looking ahead, the platform will be expanded to include new written segments, and potentially video and podcast content, fostering the discussion on the status of new media and art, featuring key figures in the current landscape.
