Vision and Future of Art Basel Hong Kong
Q: What is the vision behind Art Basel Hong Kong?
Art Basel is dedicated to connecting and nurturing the global art ecosystem. Art Basel Hong Kong places a strong emphasis on the Asia-Pacific region, with over 50% of participating galleries coming from this area. We actively support the local art scene through collaborations with various institutions and cultural organizations.
Each of our shows — in Hong Kong, Basel, Paris and Miami Beach — is uniquely shaped by its host city, an influence reflected in the gallery lineup, artwork and parallel programming developed in collaboration with local institutions.
Q: What role does Hong Kong play in the Asian art market?
Hong Kong serves as a pivotal gateway to the broader Asian art market. With its established auction houses, vibrant gallery scene and international collector base, the city remains a key hub for both Western and Asian art. As Asia’s leading art hub, Hong Kong continues to bridge art communities across the region and beyond.
Q: How has Art Basel Hong Kong evolved over the years?
Our fair has evolved alongside Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene, with both continuously inspiring and impacting each other. The city’s cultural landscape has expanded significantly during my time here — invigorated by a new generation of collectors, the opening of world-class institutions like M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum and a dynamic surge of commercial, non-profit and artist-run spaces. Internally, we have introduced numerous initiatives and programs as well. I am proud that Art Basel Hong Kong has become a cornerstone of the city’s arts community, with widespread recognition of the fair’s presence this month.

Samsung x Art Basel: Redefining Art Appreciation
Q: As the official visual display partner for Art Basel, how is Samsung Electronics driving the integration of art into everyday life through Samsung Art Store?
The global collaboration between Art Basel and Samsung presents an exciting opportunity to merge world-class art exhibitions with cutting-edge innovations. Technology has transformed the way people engage with art, making it more accessible through platforms like Samsung Art Store. Advancements in display technology enable viewers to experience art in new and immersive ways — bringing it into their daily lives and fostering deeper connections.
▲ The Samsung Art Store is home to 3,000+ works from world-renowned museums, galleries and artists. Subscribers can explore expertly curated masterpieces in stunning 4K resolution. While previously exclusive to The Frame and MICRO LED, the Samsung Art Store will soon be available on 2025 Samsung AI-powered Neo QLED and QLED TVs.
Q: How do you see this partnership impacting the way people perceive and appreciate art?
Technology-driven initiatives have the power to expand cultural exchange and inspire audiences worldwide. With The Frame, Samsung has already built strong partnerships with leading museums, institutions and artists — bridging diverse artistic practices and mediums. I believe that growing these collaborations will be crucial to further integrating technology into the art world and redefining how people experience and appreciate art in their homes.
Q: What has your experience been like using The Frame in Art Mode?
I had the opportunity to explore The Frame during Samsung’s activation at our Basel and Miami Beach shows last year, and I was truly impressed by how artwork is presented on the screen. I encourage visitors to experience The Frame in Art Mode and observe how various artistic techniques and textures are rendered digitally. While The Frame offers a stunning way to enjoy classic masterpieces, what excites me most is how Samsung Art Store enhances the experience by showcasing emerging artists and fresh artistic perspectives.

The Role of Technology in the Evolving Art World
Q: How is technology influencing the presentation and consumption of contemporary art?
Technology plays a crucial role in expanding the global reach of contemporary art and transforming how we experience and connect with it. Digital platforms have redefined accessibility, while AI and blockchain are revolutionizing how art is created, traded and authenticated. Last year at Art Basel Miami Beach, we introduced an AI-powered mobile app to make exploring the fair more intuitive and engaging. Our use of technology is all about enhancing the visitor experience — offering audiences fresh, innovative ways to discover new artwork, navigate the fair seamlessly and connect with galleries.
Q: What changes have you noticed in the art world?
Collector interests are shifting. There is a growing demand for emerging artists and increased recognition of local artists, whose presence in private collections is rising. Additionally, a generational shift is underway as younger collectors take on a more active role in shaping the market.

Q: What opportunities excite you most about Art Basel Hong Kong’s future?
I’m excited to continue deepening collaborations within Hong Kong’s dynamic arts community and contributing to Asia’s art ecosystem. Strengthening regional and global connections not only enriches the fair but also fosters a broader dialogue around contemporary art. Through meaningful partnerships such as Art Basel’s collaboration with Samsung, we can continue to progress while staying true to our core mission — delivering world-class art fairs for our global community of galleries, artists, partners and collectors.

Samsung Electronics, the world’s leading TV manufacturer for 19 consecutive years, is kicking off the 2025 Tech Seminars in Frankfurt, Germany, from March 18–19, giving media and industry professionals an exclusive first look at its most advanced AI-powered TV and audio innovations before they hit the market.
Now in its 14th year, the seminar provides field experts with hands-on experiences of Samsung’s latest TV lineup ahead of its official release. This year, the seminar will be showcasing technologies related to AI-powered picture quality, immersive sound, and next-generation viewing experiences.
Revolutionizing the Screen Experience With AI
Samsung’s 2025 TVs will feature powerful AI-driven features designed to enhance the user experience. At the heart of this innovation is Vision AI, an advanced platform that personalizes and simplifies the way users interact with their screens. Features such as Click to Search allows viewers to instantly access relevant information about on-screen content, while Live Translate provides real-time audio translations for seamless global viewing. Quick Remote transforms a smartphone into a control hub, offering a more intuitive and connected experience.
Samsung has also introduced a seamless multi-device experience, enabling effortless content sharing and control across Samsung devices. Features like Storage Share, which allows easy file transfers between Galaxy devices and TVs, and Multi Control, which lets users operate multiple Samsung devices with a single keyboard and mouse, create a more connected and streamlined ecosystem.
Next-Generation OLED & Neo QLED Picture Quality
Samsung’s 2025 OLED TVs introduce Glare Free 2.0, minimizing reflections for a crystal-clear and immersive experience. Powered by the NQ4 AI Gen3 Processor and 128 neural networks, AI Upscaling sharpens details with remarkable precision, while OLED HDR technology boosts brightness and contrast.
The 2025 Neo QLED 4K lineup features advanced local dimming for deeper blacks and enhanced HDR accuracy. AI Motion Enhancer, previously exclusive to 8K models, is now available in 4K TVs, delivering ultra-smooth visuals ideal for sports and action-packed content.
Expanding the Lifestyle TV Portfolio
Samsung’s Lifestyle TV lineup continues to push boundaries of design and innovation, blending cutting-edge technology with personalized home aesthetics.
The Frame Pro redefines both entertainment and home décor, now featuring Mini-LED Local Dimming for enhanced brightness and lifelike picture quality. With access to over 3,000 digital artworks via Samsung Art Store, users can instantly transform their TV into a stunning personal gallery. The addition of Wi-Fi 7 ensures seamless installation, reducing cable clutter for a cleaner, more sophisticated setup.
Meanwhile, The Premiere 5 offers a compact yet powerful projection experience with touch interaction, making it ideal for gaming, education, and immersive home entertainment. Designed for versatility, it delivers immersive visuals in a range of environments, from classrooms to home theaters and much more.
Introducing the Next Era of Immersive Sound
Samsung is redefining audio innovation with Eclipsa Audio, the industry’s first IAMF 3D sound technology developed in collaboration with Google. This advanced system optimizes spatial sound by analyzing environmental reflections, delivering a deeply immersive surround sound experience.
At the 2025 Tech Seminar, attendees will be among the first to experience Eclipsa Audio firsthand and see its seamless integration with Samsung’s latest soundbars for a next-level home theater experience.
“At Samsung, we’re committed to making all the devices you use smarter and more connected,” said Benjamin Braun, Samsung Europe’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Whether it’s using Vision AI to automatically optimize your TV settings or AI-powered services to make activities such as search or home management simpler, we’re showing how technology can feel more personal and tangible than ever before.”
Following the Frankfurt event, Samsung will bring the Tech Seminar series to key regions including Southeast Asia and Latin America, providing more industry professionals with exclusive hands-on previews of its AI-powered display and audio innovations ahead of their market launch.

Samsung Electronics today announced that approximately 80 models in its 2025 TV, monitor and soundbar lineups have received Product Carbon Reduction1 and Product Carbon Footprint2 certifications from TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized certification organization based in Germany. This marks the fifth consecutive year that the premium lineups, Neo QLED 8K and Neo QLED, have received certifications, reinforcing the company’s continued efforts in carbon reduction.
“Samsung Electronics is committed to driving technological innovation for a sustainable future,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “As the world’s leading TV manufacturer, we will continue to be at the forefront of establishing a more energy-efficient ecosystem that benefits consumers.”
Following last year’s certification of 60 models across the Neo QLED, OLED and Lifestyle TV categories, Samsung has further increased its number of certified products in 2025 to include QLED TVs. In addition, the company is also working towards obtaining certification for its Color E-Paper lineup later this year.
The certifications from TÜV Rheinland are awarded following a rigorous evaluation of a product’s entire lifecycle — including manufacturing, transportation, usage and disposal — based on internationally recognized sustainability standards. By assessing and verifying carbon emissions at each stage, these certifications highlight Samsung’s efforts to reduce environmental impact across its product lineup.
In particular, the Product Carbon Reduction certification is granted to products that have already received a Product Carbon Footprint certification and further demonstrate a measurable reduction in carbon emissions compared to their predecessors.
Samsung’s leadership in energy-efficient display technology dates back to 2021, when the Neo QLED became the first 4K and higher-resolution TV to earn the Reducing CO2 certification. Since then, Samsung has continually expanded its portfolio of environmentally certified products, including QLED, Crystal UHD, Lifestyle TVs, OLED TVs and a wide range of monitors and digital signage products.

Samsung Electronics today announced that the quantum dot (QD) sheet used in its QD TVs has received certification for compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and has been verified to contain no cadmium by the global certification institute, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).
SGS, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is a world-leading testing and certification body that provides services to ensure organizations meet stringent quality and safety standards across various industries, including electronic products, food and the environment.
In addition to receiving recognition from SGS for the no-cadmium technology in Samsung’s quantum dot film, the company’s compliance with the EU’s RoHS directive assures the safety of the TV viewing experience.
“Samsung’s quantum dot TVs are built on safe technology that complies with restrictions on hazardous substances while delivering unmatched picture quality,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Achieving SGS certification fully validates the safety of our products. With this recognition, we are committed to continuously developing sustainable display technologies.”
Samsung began researching quantum dot technology in 2001, and its ongoing commitment to research and investment has positioned it at the forefront of innovation in the global display market.
After developing the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material in 2014, Samsung launched TVs that implemented the technology the following year. Since then, the company has been leading quantum dot technology through continuous technological advancements.
In particular, Samsung successfully created nanocrystal material without cadmium and has secured around 150 patents for the technology. With this extensive expertise and technological progress, the company has ushered in an era of safer quantum dot TVs made with materials that do not contain harmful substances.
