This collection of self-critical works of art explores virtual worlds, currencies, blockchains, simulations, and artificial intelligence to make sense of our current inflexion point between technology, art and culture. Virtual realities, Artificial Intelligence, Web 3.0, Cryptocurrencies and Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) represent an emerging way of life ‘augmented’ by digital technology. This new model envisions a techno-utopia that transcends traditional hegemonic structures, makes us more connected as a species and accesses virtual worlds of infinite possibilities. The danger is that these new technologies perpetuate oppressive capitalist desires, leave individuals disembodied, disconnected, and disillusioned, all at the cost of our physical world. Inhuman Transaction seeks to critique digital technologies in terms of structural qualities including proprietary ownership, virtualisation, energy consumption and white cisgender dominance. Mediums include interactive NFTs, moving image, projection, computer simulation and digitally generated sculpture. The guiding theme of the self-critical work of art seeks to simultaneously explain, express and critique the medium from within itself as a form of cultural self-evaluation.\"\n\nArtwork in order of appearance:\n\nGryffin Cook, Ownership Machine, 2022\nAcrylic, PC, NFT, JavaScript\n\nGryffin Cook, Receipt Machine, 2022\nThermal receipt printer, HP Desktop, Monitor stand, Java\n\nFabio Morreale, This is an NFT, 2022\np5.js, glsl, index on the Tezos blockchain, hosted on IPFS\n\nFabio Morreale, This is (not) an NFT, 2022\np5.js, glsl, self-hosted\n\nGryffin Cook, Block Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, 2022\nAcrylic, PC, NFT, JavaScript\n\nLeo Baldwin-Ramult, Obsessional Machines, 2022\nGenerative computational systems (machine learning, natural language processing, custom software, desktop computer, LCD monitors, thermal receipt printer)\n\nTerrestrial Assemblages, Soil Model, 2020\nPlexiglass, software, computer hardware, cabling\n\nGryffin Cook, Code is Law, Et Al, 2022\nPeter Thiel, Theodore Kaczynski, Vitalik Buterin, Thermal Receipt\n\nGrace Bella, HYPERsex Marilyn Box, 2022\nLive projection, acrylic board, repurposed wood, thread, playdough, slime.\n\nSean Kerr, Lost, 2020\nRealtime 3D\n\nAngela Pan, Untitled, 2022\nMoving Image, CRT Display, Faux fur\n\nXi Li, Spirit Ether, 2021\nMoving image, 15'54\"\n\nGryffin Cook, Ethereum Value Array Index 2016-2022, 2022\nBronze (NZ 1/2c coins)\n\nGryffin Cook, Bitcoin Value Array Index 2016-2022, 2022\nBronze (NZ 1/2c coins)\n\nGryffin Cook, Tezos Value Array Index 2016-2022, 2022\nBronze (NZ 1/2c coins)\n\nGeorge Turner, Follow Me Back, 2022\nAnimated video, 1080 x 1920, 3.20mins","tags":[],"symbol":"OBJKT","artifactUri":"ipfs://bafybeieqyifvjq3cnudv3dzm2rjzjnof44f62nmlk72sr45b4znly4sice","displayUri":"ipfs://QmWCvgdRhrChdufbsrt2wefowYedUMo7bCG2c3JtNC3jKt","thumbnailUri":"ipfs://QmWCvgdRhrChdufbsrt2wefowYedUMo7bCG2c3JtNC3jKt","creators":["tz1Uo4bSicQwYc2Cu9xiKoAhAHokBesVUThg"],"formats":[{"fileSize":182856970,"fileName":"Exhibition for Sale [001].zip","mimeType":"application/x-directory","uri":"ipfs://bafybeieqyifvjq3cnudv3dzm2rjzjnof44f62nmlk72sr45b4znly4sice"},{"mimeType":"image/gif","fileSize":19014427,"fileName":"cover_Exhibition for Sale [001].gif","dimensions":{"value":"600x600","unit":"px"},"uri":"ipfs://QmWCvgdRhrChdufbsrt2wefowYedUMo7bCG2c3JtNC3jKt"},{"mimeType":"image/gif","fileSize":19014427,"fileName":"thumbnail_Exhibition for Sale [001].gif","dimensions":{"value":"600x600","unit":"px"},"uri":"ipfs://QmWCvgdRhrChdufbsrt2wefowYedUMo7bCG2c3JtNC3jKt"}],"decimals":0,"isBooleanAmount":false,"shouldPreferSymbol":false,"rights":"none","date":"2023-07-13T21:37:01.999Z","mintingTool":"https://teia.art/mint"}
