Discussing specific projects where she collaborated with technology companies or startups to create innovative art installations or experiences, she recounts: ‘My Wildxyz artist residence involved creating 100 digital art pieces, and displaying them required crafting a 4D-environment composed of various greenery, water, and even sounds that contributed to the complete experience.”
In Nigeria, digital tools have democratized art creation, giving rise to a new generation of artists who garner recognition and opportunities on a global scale. However, Yinkore acknowledges that challenges tied to copyright and ethics may arise as digital art gains prominence, especially in a country where the copyright protection of traditional art is already a concern. Looking ahead, Yinkore envisions a promising future for digital art in Nigeria, foreseeing more exhibitions, increased adoption of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, and immersive physical events. She expresses hope that as this growth unfolds, ethical considerations surrounding copyright will be addressed to safeguard artists’ rights. While Yinkore has yet to benefit from governmental or collective initiatives, her journey and insights contribute significantly to the evolving digital art scene in Nigeria.
