World’s First Blockchain Enabled Art Exhibition 2120: An Art Experience Imagines the Future of Art
The Exhibition Envisions the Art World 100 Years Into the Future With Large Scale Installation Art by Jacob M Fisher
2307 Broadway, New York, NY, February 1, 2020, YTG Agency in partnership with Portion has today announced the first blockchain enabled art experience, featuring installation art by Jacob M Fisher.
The event, titled 2120: An Art Experience, exhibits a work titled ...for you fs84. “This is a work that belongs to everyone who experiences it,” says Jason Rosenstein, Cofounder of Portion, a blockchain marketplace for art. Richard Heby of YTG Agency says: “We’re imagining a world where shared experiences and fractional ownership are the norm.”
Fisher explores themes of collective memory and nostalgia, by combining new materials with dynamic digital forms. Thus, the artist further amalgamates physical and digital forms to create a unified work that lends itself to shared experience.
Attendees can purchase a 1 of 247, limited-edition puzzle piece cut from a larger drawing, which gives them fractional ownership of a physical work, on top of the shared experience they gain from attending the event. They will also have the option to register at Portion.io, where the record will be available on the blockchain for reference, transference, or sale in perpetuity. The artwork thus becomes a permanent and shareable digital artifact of a temporary physical experience.
Tickets are on sale for $12 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors. 2120: An Art Experience will be open on Saturdays through Tuesdays starting on February 2, 2020.
