EduXion

VV.AA. September 2021 To be continued, Thinking digital. How technologies (will) shape the art book, in collaboration with New York University Abu Dhabi, EduXion – Enhanced educational tools, EdiXion, Dubai.

Dynamic and collaborative book, created by a growing international community, that explores the concept of the future digital art book and its need to go beyond the technological and cultural conditioning dictated by printing processes. The reflections gathered in this book arise from the collaboration between Marina Pizziolo and Romano Ravasio, publishers of EdiXion, the artist Wim Delvoye, the students of the Re-Design course at New York University Abu Dhabi led by Professor Goffredo Puccetti, and Nizar Habash, Professor of Computer Science at New York University Abu Dhabi.

Pizziolo, M & Ravasio, R 2026, The Risks of Art Collecting, EduXion – Enhanced educational tools, EdiXion, Dubai.

A provocative and well-documented essay that reveals the risks of art collecting, between false promises and profound contradictions of the market. The purchase of a work of art – often perceived as a safe and prestigious investment – can actually transform into a path full of pitfalls. The essay accompanies the collector on a journey through auctions, galleries and online platforms, which teaches how to defend oneself from information asymmetries, conflicts of interest, lack of transparency and incorrect practices, often capable of deceiving even the most experienced collectors.
