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).

Cloud Wallet Series falls within the crypto art group show “In-Valuable : The Short History Of Crypto Art” curated by Marlène Corbun and Fanny Lakoubay and is part of a larger exploration of “Art & Currency” on the laCollection platform. The recent cryptocurrency boom offers a conceptual base for contemporary artists to question and expose the intricate systems of power behind money while also using blockchain technology as a creative medium. Collectively, the exhibited works intend to challenge the complicated relationship between art and currency.
