Project: Political correctness
It is a debate on the power of money, based on the symbolism of BITCOIN. It seeks to perpetuate a code in time, like the wisdom stored in the Sumerian tablets, like the golden discs launched into the universe by Carl Sagan. It is putting a conceptual finger on the wounds of a system: it forces governments to dialogue about this new way of understanding monetary exchanges.
The project opens, from the Contemporary Art, a political gap in the heart of our economies, forged with worthless paper money. Political Correction is the creation of a new currency called CLAY-BTC (Clay BITCOIN) that has its own encryption in the art world. Transfer the BITCOIN exchanges to the world of the tangible. The coin is the result of a relational process, with self-imposed rules that give it meaning.
