STATE OF THE ART
STATE OF THE ART is the first large scale hybrid collection by ThankYouX. This project reimagines the use of blockchain technology as a medium rather than a tool for distribution.
This collection consists of four giant paintings broken up into 400 tiles each— creating 1600 total unique digital artworks that come paired with their physical counterpart. Upon launch, participants will randomly receive a singular digital tile corresponding with a section of one of the four paintings. Later, collectors will be able to claim the identical physical artwork. Before the physical claim, users will have the ability to work directly with the secondary market to purchase additional, adjacent, and connecting tiles to merge, and claim a larger section of the canvas.
“I wanted to give my collectors a chance to have an experience where they can engage with the duality of my work: digital and physical. I am laying out the basic outline of the project and leaving the tools in the hands of those who participate.”
Each of the four paintings distinctively expresses ThankYouX’s own representation and exploration of digital information as it travels from source to destination.
“I was looking for new ways to challenge myself and further fuse art with technology and one day I found it. This is STATE OF THE ART.”
