Art Dubai Digital 2025.


Subject: Proposal for Collaboration with Anasaea for Art Dubai Digital 2025

Dear Gonzalo Herrero Delicado,

I have been following the plans for Art Dubai Digital 2025 with great interest, particularly the multidisciplinary approach to exploring the intersection of art and technology. I am excited about the potential this offers to further deepen the impact of digital art.

I would like to discuss a potential collaboration between Art Dubai Digital and the Anasaea platform. We specialize in creating immersive spaces and digital twins, and we see an opportunity to present the fair partially in an immersive digital environment. This would not only offer greater reach and accessibility but also enhance the security of the artworks and provide cost savings.

We could, for instance, set up a pilot to test visitor responses to a digital representation of the fair. Additionally, we could establish a booth on-site with VR headsets, sponsored by VR manufacturers, allowing visitors to experience the immersive environment firsthand.

A collaboration with Anasaea would enable Art Dubai Digital to lead in innovation and sustainability while also generating new revenue streams, such as through online ticket sales and sponsorships from the tech and art sectors.

We are willing to conduct research into potential sponsors in the GCC region and other markets to ensure the success of this initiative.

I look forward to hearing if you are interested in discussing these opportunities further.

Best regards,

Annelies Nuy
