EP2. Private Art Collection Reimagined with Sylvain Levy Big Little Talk

    • Arts

In the midst of a global pandemic, we had the opportunity to chat with Sylvain Levy, collector and co-founder of DSL Collection (DSL), a seminal collection that narrates the development of Chinese contemporary art. Founded in 2005, DSL has been a trailblazer in experimenting and promoting virtual art experiences — in various forms and stages - the collection takes on the presence of a website to an underwater gallery in Second Life, to a VR museum and now a game in development.

Reflecting 30 years of collecting, Sylvain shares why and how digital transformation is vital for a private art collection and the yearning for art to generate social value and challenge the status quo in a time when social distancing has become a pervasive norm.
