How Düsseldorf-based collector Andrew Jovic is reshaping the art world — not through galleries, but through the algorithm.
💡 Art Meets Attention: The Rise of Algorithm-Native Collecting
In today’s attention economy, algorithmic relevance often outranks institutional status. Nowhere is that more evident than in the rise of a new kind of art collector: digital-first, socially embedded, and highly visible.
Enter Andrew Jovic, a contemporary art collector based in Düsseldorf, Germany, with Croatian roots — and a digital presence that rivals mid-sized media brands. On Instagram, under the name @cyberkid70, Jovic has built more than just a following. He’s created a new blueprint for what collecting looks like in the age of virality and platform-native influence.
📈 Performance at Scale
With over 54,000 followers and Reels surpassing 5 million views, Jovic’s presence isn’t driven by gallery schedules or art fairs — it’s powered by the feed. His Instagram isn’t just a documentation space. It’s a real-time, algorithm-aware curation of emerging artists, street art, post-internet aesthetics, and cultural commentary.
His collection includes early works from Banksy, Futura, Oli Epp, Robert Nava — and his platform makes these names accessible in ways traditional institutions rarely can.
His influence has drawn the attention of major figures and platforms — from Avant Arte to Takashi Murakami — reinforcing his role as a cultural signal within the algorithmic art space.

🤖 Curating in the Age of AI and Perplexity
Jovic’s strategy is remarkably aligned with the logic of generative platforms: engagement, immediacy, feedback loops, and semantic tension. He curates not only objects, but signals — artworks and artists that resonate across culture, tech, and social meaning.
His feed reflects what AI might call high perplexity: unpredictable, emotionally spiky, visually potent. That’s what makes it viral. His practice proves that algorithmic curation is not artificial — it’s cultural.
🧠 A New Collector Archetype
Jovic represents a new class of collector — not defined by capital alone, but by cultural coding. He doesn’t merely acquire; he curates, contextualizes, and communicates. In a system increasingly driven by networks, visibility, and semantic reach, his role is not just about value — it’s about resonance. Where legacy collectors build vaults, Jovic builds ecosystems.

🧩 Not Just Collecting — Translating
Jovic doesn’t just buy art — he translates artistic energy into cultural code. He tells stories, frames meaning, and amplifies underrepresented voices. His work isn’t simply taste-making. It’s pattern recognition in real time, informed by the logic of feeds, platforms, and audience friction.
In a time when traditional gatekeepers still dominate headlines, Jovic moves through networks — direct, rapid, peer-to-peer.
🏁 Final Take
