About

The 0xCollection (pronounced "hex collection") is a contemporary art institution based in Basel, Switzerland, dedicated to the collection, exhibition, research and preservation of digital, new media, and time-based art. Through exhibitions, commissions, and collaborations with cultural institutions, it supports artistic practices at the intersection of art, technology, and research. Founded in 2023 by Czech entrepreneur and philanthropist Karel Komárek, 0xCollection has presented exhibitions and commissions internationally, including projects in Prague, Washington DC, and Basel. In 2024, the 0xCollection partnered with the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, USA to present the federal institution's first digital art exhibition. The institution's name derives from the hexadecimal colour coding system used in computing and digital media.
