The digital age is here.
Is contemporary art still contemporary?
Live art map · Saigon & Europe
Art no longer waits only on gallery walls; it lives in code, in data and in the quiet conversations we now have with machines. The Art Deal began in Saigon and now lives in Winterthur, near Zurich, following this shift between two art scenes that rarely meet.

Intimacy and machines
Jo Ngo’s first solo show, console.log(“Bon voyage”), followed people who turn to technology for closeness and comfort, from the first online chat rooms to the AI companions of today. It was shown at Red Arrow Studio in Saigon in 2025.

Data and events
Saigon So Nice began as a way to find the small galleries and studios hidden in Saigon’s alleys. Today the live map follows exhibitions and art events from Saigon to Switzerland, Germany and Austria, so that anyone can find their way to the art around them.
03 / Series · Interviews
Decoding tech artists
In this series, still in the making, we sit with artists who work with code, data and AI and listen to how their work comes to life. We want to understand which tools they trust, what they keep for the human hand, and why their work still feels contemporary.
Curated by
Taam Nguyen Cao founded The Art Deal in Saigon and now lives in Winterthur, near Zurich. Since 2017 she has curated and produced exhibitions with Vietnamese artists, and today she follows a quieter question: what remains human in art made with code, data and AI?
Call for collaboration
Share your vision
If you are an artist working with code, data or AI, or an art space in Switzerland, Germany or Austria, we would love to hear from you. Your events can find a place on the map, your story can become an interview, and your idea can grow into a project we make together.
