Why collectible cards?

A familiar format with a connection to art, nostalgia, and the simple joy of collecting.

How do you know when a work is finished?
Sometimes you don’t.
@travess x @Art_Domains

A practice can be less like a straight line and more like a river, branching, changing, and still moving.

A childhood remembered through bugs: calling friends about nothing, watching them play games, and imagining a virtual pet of your own.

“I guess the five cards are just different bits of my childhood, but with bugs taking over everything.”

Meet @riniifish 🐛

For Kento Season 01: Web Nostalgia, she turns memories of growing up around technology into a world of her own.

[Kento @kentocards]

“I don't always know where the story is going or what the final piece will look like. I usually just follow the characters and see what happens.”

For Riniifish, each character’s unfolding story can become the beginning of a new artwork.

Created digitally, After School begins on a screen. As a Kento card, it offers another way to experience the work: something to hold, enjoy, and collect.

For @adiw_galih, Web Nostalgia means remembering when going online felt like a little adventure.

One of Kento’s Open Call winners, the Indonesian artist revisits that feeling in After School, his card for Season 01: Web Nostalgia. 🧵

[Kento @kentocards]

After School returns to a childhood when the internet felt full of possibilities.

“It was a space where curiosity, exploration, friendship, and imagination could grow.”

For Kento, that memory takes the form of a physical collectible. 🎴

Organized by .ART, the conference brings together artists and cultural professionals for conversations about authorship, collecting, and the future of art.

🟩🟥 New Ways of Collecting Digital Art

For International Artist Day, our Head Curator @KikaNicolela and @Travess, artist featured in Kento Season 01, are joining the @Art_Domains Artist Day Conference 2026.

Their conversation, "The Easiest Door In", looks at one of the barriers to entering digital art: the complexity of crypto wallets and seed phrases, and how a pack of physical cards might offer a more accessible starting point.
