==='Fire Sale' exhibition===
A solo exhibition of Del Naja's art was held at the Lazarides gallery in central London, from 24 May to 22 June 2013. The show's content spanned a period of over twenty years and featured many of the art pieces that Del Naja created for Massive Attack. Each piece, reinterpreted especially for the exhibition, was hand-printed and finished. The show also featured three one-off 'digital infinity mirrors', two of which contained phrases supplied by [[Reprieve (organisation)|Reprieve]] that were extracted from [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|drone]] pilot dialogues. Del Naja performed a DJ set during the opening night on 23 May 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lazinc.com/exhibitions/582,3d-fire-sale|title=Exhibition 3D: Fire Sale|publisher=Lazarides|access-date=26 October 2013|archive-date=29 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029193440/http://www.lazinc.com/exhibitions/582,3d-fire-sale|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

===Massive Attack and Adam Curtis===
Del Naja conceived and designed an eight-night festival with filmmaker [[Adam Curtis]]—in collaboration with UVA ([[United Visual Artists]])—that premiered in Manchester, UK in July 2013. The festival featured Curtis's film, unofficially titled ''The Plan,'' which was projected on a huge screen surrounding the audience, while music from Massive Attack was interweaved throughout the film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://louderthanwar.com/an-open-letter-to-massive-attack-and-adam-curtis/|title=An Open Letter To Massive Attack And Adam Curtis|date=14 July 2013 |publisher=Louder Than War|access-date=26 October 2013}}</ref> Del Naja, who orchestrated the film's soundtrack, described the experience as a "collective hallucination" and the film was also shown at the [[Manchester International Festival]] in July 2013.<ref>{{cite news|first1=Tim|last1=Adams|access-date=17 February 2019|title=Massive Attack v Adam Curtis – review|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/jul/07/adam-curtis-massive-attack-review|newspaper=[[The Observer]]|date=6 July 2013|issn=0029-7712}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|access-date=17 February 2019|title=Massive Attack v Adam Curtis, Manchester International Festival – review|url=https://www.ft.com/content/e7afe1bc-e55f-11e2-8d0b-00144feabdc0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/e7afe1bc-e55f-11e2-8d0b-00144feabdc0 |archive-date=10 December 2022 |url-access=subscription|website=Financial Times|location=London|date=7 July 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first1=Ian|last1=Youngs|access-date=17 February 2019|title=Depot gig opens Manchester festival|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-23158914|date=5 July 2013|publisher=BBC}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|access-date=17 February 2019|title=Music review: Massive Attack v Adam Curtis for the Manchester|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/music-review-massive-attack-v-adam-curtis-for-the-manchester-international-festival-was-sadly-a-8690664.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220512/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/music-review-massive-attack-v-adam-curtis-for-the-manchester-international-festival-was-sadly-a-8690664.html |archive-date=12 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|date=5 July 2013|newspaper=The Independent}}</ref> Music created by Del Naja for the festival became the score for a [[BBC]] production entitled ''[[HyperNormalisation]]'' in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04b183c|title=HyperNormalisation|date=16 October 2016|publisher=BBC|access-date=30 October 2018}}</ref>

In 2019, Del Naja and Adam Curtis teamed up for a second time on a live show based on the band's Mezzanine album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.factmag.com/2018/10/30/massive-attack-announce-mezzanine-tour/|title=Massive Attack announce Mezzanine XX1 2019 Tour|website=Factmag.com|date=30 October 2018}}</ref> The show challenged the idea of nostalgia and power, and featured machine learning GANS and deep fakes from [[Mario Klingemann]], as well as new films from Curtis that were used to tell a narrative story. They were used as visuals for cover versions of non Massive Attack songs based on samples and loops that made up the album's identity.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thefader.com/2019/09/25/massive-attack-robert-del-naja-mezzanine-interview|title=A rare interview with Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja on creating the most subversive live show of 2019|website=The FADER}}</ref>

===Mezzanine DNA===
In April 2019, it was reported that Massive Attack had encoded ''Mezzanine'' into DNA to mark the 20th anniversary of the seminal 1998 album.
The album has also been made available in the form of a matte black spray paint can. A limited number of spray cans will contain the DNA encoded audio within matte black paint and each can will contain approximately one million copies of the album.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/massive-attack-encoding-album-into-dna/|title=Massive Attack Encoding Album into DNA|website=Pitchfork|date=20 April 2018}}</ref> Addressing the novel storage method, Del Naja – who is also known as a graffiti artist as '3D' – said: "It’s a creative way to store your back catalogue, although DNA-encoded spray paint is unlikely to be adopted by street artists seeking anonymity".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://consequence.net/2018/10/massive-attack-dna-spray-paint-can/|title=Massive Attack releasing DNA-encoded Mezzanine in spray paint can|date=19 October 2018}}</ref>
