About Us

Vastari has been helping museum and art industry professionals for over a decade; innovating, evaluating and operating at the forefront of the art and tech industry. Launched in Spring 2021, Vastari Labs came about because a new language needed to be understood; non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Cryptoart, Blockchain, Ethereum or Tezos, Smart Contracts, Metaverse and Web 3.0.

Vastari Labs is, at its heart, both experiential & experimental. We work with a range of exhibition producers, artists, museums and other organisations (from within and outside the cultural industries) to help them understand, utilise and commercialise innovative digital technologies.
