The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has transformed a temporary artist residency into a permanent acquisition, marking a significant milestone for digital art in traditional institutions.​

  • Key Development: Yatreda's work moves from residency to permanent collection
  • Strategic Direction: Part of MoMA's broader initiative to embrace blockchain and digital art
  • Previous Context: Follows acquisition of Refik Anadol's work, showing consistent commitment to digital mediums

This acquisition demonstrates MoMA's continued investment in bridging traditional and digital art spaces.​
