One of the guests of the exhibition tried to “take away” a piece of digital art, but the Hermitage staff noticed the problem and installed the exhibit in its place. The curator of the exhibition, Dmitry Ozerkov, suggests that the “kidnapper” might not have had malicious intent. According to him, there was a bug: one of the works was not fixed, which allowed one of the visitors to the exhibition “to remove it from the wall.” However, it may have been the world’s first attempt at a virtual theft of a painting.
The Invisible Broadcast exhibition is held entirely in digital format. Visitors can access it through digital devices. All exhibits are NFT files.
