What is zardoz.club?
Virtual gallery + art collection
The gallery
The zardoz.club gallery represents and supports artists whose contemporary practices intersect with the digital world, whether conceptually, aesthetically, or technically.
Founded in early 2020 by collector and curator Tales Tommasini, the gallery has held over 30 virtual exhibitions of its artists and in collaboration with other institutions. In 2024, it was featured in the book OnNFTs, published by Taschen.
The collection
The zardoz.club collection focuses on generative and code art, glitch, early AI explorations, abstraction, minimalism, and radical digital experimentation. It is also expanding to include contemporary works that engage with digital aesthetics.
In addition to its commitment to innovation, the collection advocates for emergent artists, including those from diverse backgrounds, LGBTQI+ creators, and outsiders from traditional art market hubs.
The founder
Tales Tommasini (born 1974, currently living in Madrid, Spain) is a Brazilian-Spanish art collector and curator who has been involved in digital art since the 90s.
