Throughout the three days, an exhibition showcased animated works by artists from the Maskay community and “collected gems” from the Blockchain. These animations highlighted the diversity and talent of artists working from the decentralized perspective of Web3. The curation was led by Stipinpixel, with the setup and supervision handled by Stipinpixel and Blanfrank, who collaborated to create an immersive and educational space.

On the second day of the festival, a workshop explored how Web3 can revolutionize the field of animation. Topics included digital art marketplaces, decentralized platforms, and cryptocurrencies (Zora, Tezos, Solana), as well as animation-focused events like “SOL Animation.” Additionally, the workshop demonstrated how these tools empower animators to manage and monetize their work autonomously, offering an innovative alternative to traditional industry structures.
The main theme revolved around "What it means for an animator to be in Web3," fostering an interactive and reflective space for participants.
During the festival evenings, Maskay lit up Tafí del Valle with a series of outdoor visual displays. These presentations provided a unique visual experience that bridged technology and art while complementing nighttime activities like musical performances. The works included:
