WISeKey’s WISe.Art and GMA Once Again Revolutionize the Future of Art and Technology in an Extraordinary Event in Venice
Geneva, Switzerland, February 9, 2026 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) ((SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announces that its subsidiary, WISe.Art which focuses on trusted blockchain NFTs and operates the WISe.ART marketplace for secure NFT transactions, and Global Market of Artification (GMA) is an innovative company, focused on offering NFT services, will be organizing Art&DeepTech Convergence, an international event and exhibition that will mark a new, fundamental milestone in the convergence of art, advanced technologies, and space in Venice, Italy in September 2026. Venice, cradle of the Renaissance and historic crossroads of cultures, will become the global laboratory of a new creative era, where technological innovation is placed at the service of artistic expression and human values.
A Technological Infrastructure Serving Artistic Creation
Art&DeepTech Convergence is built upon a next-generation technological infrastructure integrating generative artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, advanced blockchain, certified tokenization, post-quantum cybersecurity, and satellite connectivity. The event will demonstrate how these technologies do not replace the artist, but rather amplify creative capacity, protect artworks, and enable global dissemination.
Both digital and physical artworks will be registered and protected through certified digital identity systems, ensuring authenticity, traceability, copyright protection, and continuity over time, even within digital and decentralized environments.
Art in Space: The WISeSat Constellation as a New Cultural Frontier
A defining feature of the event will be the Art in Space program, which leverages WISeKey’s WISeSat satellite constellation as an orbital cultural infrastructure. WISeSat, another subsidiary of WISeKey, focuses on space technology for secure satellite communication, specifically for IoT applications. Through secure end-to-end connections and certified transmission systems, selected artistic content will be associated with space missions, creating a symbolic and technological archive of 21st-century art.
Space thus becomes not only a technological domain, but a new narrative and cultural space, where art takes on a universal and intergenerational dimension.
The AI employed will follow a human-centric and ethical approach, designed to enhance cultural diversity, creativity, and critical thinking.
Digital Immersion and AI-Generated Environments
The exhibition journey will include advanced digital immersion environments generated by AI and accessed through multisensory installations. Images, sounds, data, and narratives will be created and transformed in real time, giving rise to evolving artistic universes in which the visitor is not a passive observer, but an integral part of the artwork.
These environments represent a new exhibition paradigm: art as a living system, capable of reacting, learning, and evolving over time.
A Global Platform of Artists and Innovators
Thousands of artists already active on the WISe.ART platform will take part in the event, presenting works that integrate AI, data, robotics, and immersive media. Venice will thus become the physical hub of a global creative network, where technology enables collaboration, inclusion, and the protection of artistic value on a worldwide scale.
Venice 2026: A Technological and Human Renaissance
With Art&DeepTech Convergence, WISe.ART and GMA affirm a clear vision: the future of art passes through technology, but remains profoundly human. Venice 2026 will stand as the symbol of a new Renaissance, where space, artificial intelligence, digital security, and creativity converge to build a more open, secure, and universal cultural future.
At its core, WISe.ART ensures the provenance, authenticity, and longevity of digital artworks by embedding trusted digital identities and cryptographic certificates directly into each creation. These protections are further strengthened through post-quantum cryptography, leveraging SEALSQ’s quantum-resistant technologies to future-proof artworks against the next generation of cyber threats and quantum computing attacks.
Beyond a marketplace, WISe.ART acts as a living laboratory for the convergence of art and advanced technologies, combining blockchain, AI, robotics, satellite communications, and quantum-safe security. It empowers artists to explore new creative frontiers while providing collectors and institutions with absolute confidence that the artworks they acquire are secure, verifiable, tamper-proof, and enduring.
By merging human creativity with trusted, post-quantum and space-based digital infrastructure, WISe.ART lays the foundation for a new cultural era, where art is not only created for the future, but protected for it.
