DAO? BTC? NFT? ETH? ART? WTF? HODL as OG crypto artist, writer, and hacker Rhea Myers searches for faces in cryptographic hashes, follows a day in the life of a young shibe in the year 2032, and patiently explains why all art should be destructively uploaded to the blockchain. Now an acknowledged pioneer whose work has graced major auction rooms, Myers embarked on her first art projects focusing on blockchain tech in 2011, making her one of the first artists to enter into creative, speculative and conceptual engagement with 'the new internet'. Beginning with a wide-ranging conversation in which she traces her artistic trajectory and speaks in depth on all the major themes of her work, aesthetic, technical, political, and conceptual, this anthology brings together annotated presentations of Myers's blockchain artworks with essays, reviews, and fiction-a sustained critical encounter between the cultures and histories of the art world and crypto utopianism, technically informed but always generously demystifying and relentlessly provocative. Myers's deep understanding of the history of and debates around blockchain technology is complemented by a broader sense of the crypto movement and the artistic and political sensibilities that accompanied its ascendancy. Remodelling the tropes of Conceptual Art and net art to explore what blockchain technology reveals about our concepts of value, culture, property, and currency, her work has become required viewing for anyone interested in the future of art, consensus, law, and collectivity.
