The Game of Life
2020-07-12 - 2021-04-30 | Kate Vass Galerie
The Game of Life – Emergence in Generative Art
This online exhibition is a tribute to the mathematician John Horton Conway who recently passed away from COVID-19. Among Conway’s many gifts to the world was his famous “Game of Life” theory popularized in a 1970 article in Scientific American.
Due to great success Kate Vass Galerie is glad to announce that the show ‘The Game of Life – Emergence in Generative Art’ has been extended until the end of April 2021. You can dive into the exhibition and bet on some of the NFT artworks on SuperRare.
Complex worlds from simple rules
The game uses four simple rules to create a seemingly infinite amount of complex behavior and visual patterns. Conway’s work on cellular automata along with others like Stephen Wolfram has been inspirational for many of this generation’s most talented Generative Artists. This exhibition explores how complex visual systems can emerge from relatively simple algorithms to create art than can reframe the way we see the world.
Included in this show are four generative artists: Jared S Tarbell, Alexander Reben, Kjetil Golid, and Manolo Gamboa Naon.

Value of Bitcoin Digital
2020-06-02 15:00 - 2020-06-03 22:00 | Zürich
At the Value of Bitcoin Digital on June 2 and 3, 15:00 - 22:00 CEST, international experts will discuss the fundamental value of Bitcoin and what role Bitcoin plays in times of excessive money printing central banks.

Negative interest rates, rising inflation and potentially disappearing cash - is it time for non-governmental hard money? A non-inflatable, uncensable digital equivalent to physical cash? Can this role be taken over by Bitcoin? These questions will be discussed at the Value of Bitcoin Digital Conference. The unique properties of Bitcoin will be discussed in detail, but also the potential of Bitcoin in emerging markets. The virtual conference also offers optimal conditions for networking. Why is that? Physical conferences are generally used not only for education but also intensively for networking. To make this possible virtually as well, different formats are offered on the two conference days in June:
Mainstage: Exciting presentations and heated panel discussions on Bitcoin in all its facets
Sidestage: Dive deeper into specific Bitcoin topics
Virtual Networking: Virtual rooms where everyone has the opportunity to ask Bitcoin experts live questions. A passionate exchange of opinions provides entertainment and ideal conditions for networking.
Keynote Speakers: 31 proven international experts, for example:

Dr. Saifedean Ammous, author of the Bitcoin standard
Pierre Rochard, Bitcoin strategist Kraken
Thomas Mayer, Managing Director and founder of the Flossbach von Storch Research Institute
Dan Held, Director of Corporate Development Kraken
Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development Unchained Capital
Manuel Andersch, Senior Economist and FX Analyst Bayern LB

E-see you at the Value of Bitcoin Digital!

Bitcoin Halving - View from Crypto Valley
2020-05-07 16:00 - 17:00 | Zürich
Time for Bitcoin to earn its place under the sun?
About the event
The imminent announcement of the halving of the charge for the miners in the Bitcoin network is a privileged moment to take a closer look at a number of issues:
What short and medium-term effects can actually be expected on the price level?
How have the miners prepared for this event, and does this profitability shock pose a unique threat to the security level of the network?
The "halving" events illustrate the predictability of monetary issuance in crypto-currencies as opposed to the arbitrary monetary policy of central banks. We are witnessing the moment when a huge economic crisis triggered by a pandemic threatens to overwhelm already overindebted states. In the coming turbulence, the value concept of unstoppable pure crypto-currencies, whose maximum money supply is fixed in the code, will probably meet with wider acceptance in many countries. Has the historic time come for Bitcoin & Co. to earn their place under the sun?
Round table discussion:
Crypto Finance - Dr. Lewin Boehnke -Head Of Research at Crypto Finance AG & CTO at Crypto Storage AG
Sygnum - Gorazd Ocvirk - Senior Vice President, Head of FinTech and DLT services at Sygnum Bank
Bitcoin Suisse - Dr. Raffael Huber - Research Analyst at Bitcoin Suisse AG
Mt Pelerin - Arnaud Salomon - CEO Mt Pelerin
