\u25b2 RM reflects on how art is transforming his life at \u201cTalk With RM\u201d during Art Basel in Basel 2025.<\/p>\n

As the art world converges at Art Basel in Basel 2025, Samsung Electronics hosted a special two-part media session spotlighting the evolving role of art in daily life. Titled \u201cLiving With Art,\u201d the event brought together Samsung Art TV global ambassador RM of 21st century pop icons BTS, Cl\u00e9ment Del\u00e9pine, Director of Art Basel Paris and featured artist Basim Magdy to explore how technology is transforming how people experience, collect and live with art.<\/p>\n

Together with Sofia Monteiro, Curator at Samsung Art Store Europe, the speakers shared how digital platforms like Samsung Art TV are helping to make art more accessible, more personal and more emotionally resonant in people\u2019s everyday lives.<\/p>\n

Part 1: RM on Finding Peace, Presence and Personal Taste Through Art<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25b2 \u201cTalk With RM\u201d at Art Basel in Basel<\/p>\n

RM spoke candidly about how art has become a profound source of comfort, curiosity and connection in his life. Seated with Monteiro in a relaxed lounge space, he reflected on his early love of literature, his discovery of visual art and how innovative digital platforms like Samsung Art Store are modernizing access to art, particularly for those unsure where to begin.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt is already deeply embedded in our lives \u2014 in literature, architecture, film and, of course, music,\u201d he shared. \u201cBut a lot of people still find art hard to understand. I think it\u2019s already inside of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

That sense of instinctual connection came into focus during a tour stop in Chicago. With time to spare, RM visited the Art Institute of Chicago, and something shifted. \u201cI wanted to see Monet and other artists I had only read about,\u201d RM recalled. \u201cWhen I saw those works up close, the details, the textures \u2014 I was really impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

RM noted that the idea of art grounding people in beauty, even in quiet or overlooked moments, is what makes living with art so meaningful. It\u2019s also what drew him to The Frame. \u201cFriends come over and think it\u2019s a new media art, not a TV.\u201d<\/p>\n

He emphasized that digital tools can make discovery more intuitive, even playful. \u201cArt Store Streams on Samsung Art Store break down barriers and introduce me to artists I might never encounter otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

RM\u2019s participation at Art Basel in Basel 2025 also marked the launch of his curated collection on Samsung Art Store, offering users a glimpse into his artistic sensibilities with selected works that span emerging global voices to timeless modernists.<\/p>\n

He said that he asks simple questions \u2014 such as \u201cWho made this? And why did they make it?\u201d \u2014 that allow him to dive deeper into the artwork.<\/p>\n

Part 2: Reimagining the Art Experience With Technology

The second session shifted from personal reflection to industry insight, featuring a panel moderated by Sofia Monteiro with Basim Magdy, a multi-disciplinary artist, and Cl\u00e9ment Del\u00e9pine, Director of Art Basel Paris. Together, they unpacked how digital tools are reshaping the way in which people discover, engage with and collect art.<\/p>\n

Del\u00e9pine reflected on a cultural shift \u2014 noting that while physical artwork still holds tremendous value, there has been a transformational shift in how people experience them. \u201cPeople may still aspire to see or own a piece of art, but their discovery now incorporates new avenues \u2014 digital galleries, curated feeds and even algorithmic discovery,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s no longer just about owning an object \u2014 it\u2019s about the experience that leads you there.\u201d<\/p>\n

This shift from ownership to experience is especially meaningful during a time when access to physical galleries remains limited for many. Magdy emphasized the power of being able to share art with audiences around the world. \u201cYou\u2019re connecting with people you may never meet, and that\u2019s both beautiful and a little surreal,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a replacement for seeing art in person, but it invites emotional connection in a new way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panelists also agreed that platforms like Samsung Art Store can help people discover their artistic preferences through visual immersion. \u201cThe Frame reminds me of how we used to collect and curate images online,\u201d Del\u00e9pine shared. \u201cYou\u2019d collect images, and over time, patterns would emerge. That process helped shape your taste, and The Frame enables something similar but in your own space.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation also acknowledged the importance of preserving the emotional depth of art, even as it becomes more digitized. \u201cIt\u2019s like listening to your favorite band at home versus being at the concert,\u201d said Magdy. \u201cDigital can\u2019t replicate everything, but it can open the door. And that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Del\u00e9pine pointed to AI as a tool that will likely shape the future of art, but one that shouldn\u2019t overshadow human touch. \u201cUsing AI won\u2019t make you an artist, just how editing tools don\u2019t make you a director,\u201d he said. \u201cVision still matters more than the tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panelists reinforced a shared vision \u2014 that technology expands, rather than diminishes, the power of art. By making it easier to access, explore and connect with, platforms like Samsung Art Store are helping to democratize creativity for a new generation of collectors and viewers alike.<\/p>\n

A Seamless Union: Art, Technology and Accessibility<\/p>\n

The event coincided with the launch of the Art Basel in Basel (ABB) Collection, the largest Art Basel curation yet on Samsung Art Store \u2014 featuring 38 curated works that span continents, mediums and generations. For the first time, the collection includes contributions from an Africa-based gallery and a broader variety of emerging voices.<\/p>\n

At Samsung ArtCube, visitors were invited to explore these works up close through Samsung Art TVs including The Frame, The Frame Pro, Neo QLED 8K and MICRO LED \u2014 demonstrating how display innovation can enhance the emotional impact of fine art in the home.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Samsung, we see technology as a bridge, not a barrier, to emotional and cultural connection,\u201d said Amelia-Eve Warden, Senior Communications Manager at Samsung Europe. \u201cWhether it\u2019s discovering a new artist or reinterpreting a classic, we\u2019re proud to help more people make art part of their everyday rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Living With Art On Your Terms

From RM\u2019s candid reflections to the expert insights of art world leaders, the \u201cLiving With Art\u201d sessions reinforced a shared belief \u2014 that art is no longer something to visit, but something to live with. Whether through a museum visit, a personal collection or a digital frame in the living room, art today is closer, more personal and more resonant than ever before.<\/p>\n

As Samsung continues its partnership with Art Basel across all four global editions, the message is clear. Art doesn\u2019t need to live on a pedestal. It can live with the viewer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u25b2 RM reflects on how art is transforming his life at \u201cTalk With RM\u201d during Art Basel in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[1377,33503,77,33504,3394,4052],"class_list":{"0":"post-60582","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basel","8":"tag-art-basel","9":"tag-art-basel-basel","10":"tag-basel","11":"tag-rm","12":"tag-samsung-art-store","13":"tag-samsung-art-tv"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116523911380248882","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
