Solo show: Cloud Wallets: Constructed Emptiness

Constructed Emptiness explores the misconception that blockchain-backed digital assets could ever leave the blockchain. Digital wallets consequently remain empty and cannot carry any digital assets; hence they can be restored with their seed phrases.

The price is based on June 3rd, 2021, the day the European Commission proposed a framework for digital identity wallets for Europeans (6/3/2021).

The Cloud Wallet series was exhibited in collaboration with LaCollection and OBJKT during the Digital Art Fair Miami 2024. This series is also part of the crypto art group show “In-Valuable: The Short History of Crypto Art” curated by Marlène Corbun and Fanny Lakoubay. It contributes to a broader exploration of “Art & Currency” on the LaCollection platform.

The recent cryptocurrency boom has provided a conceptual foundation for contemporary artists to interrogate and reveal the intricate systems of power underpinning money while simultaneously using blockchain technology as a creative medium. Collectively, the exhibited works challenge the complex and often paradoxical relationship between art and currency.
