Hobbs said at the showrs press preview that hers enthusiastic about bringing digitally native art to the eyes of viewers in person through physical derivations, providing a richer experience for enjoying the art.

lAs a digital artist, you lose control of how people see work, especially when viewed on a small screen,r said Hobbs, explaining that the lhybridr nature of his work allows viewers to ingest the work in a more enhanced format.

As NFT markets have been hit hard by crypto winter, Hobbs has kept digital art interest alive as buyers have continued to flock to his work. In September 2022, one wallet scooped up over $900,000 worth of Fidenzas n his most popular NFT collection which he released a year prior. Days later, he raised $17 million by selling mint passes for his QQL collection.

Beyond QQL, digitally native art has been finding its place in museums and galleries around the world. In February, NFT giant Yuga Labs donated a CryptoPunk to the Centre Pompidou museum in Paris. Days later, NFT influencer and collector Cozomo der Medici donated 22 digitally-native works to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
