A Gallery in Shanghai


In October our guest curator @XplainerGallery developed the group show TRADER. The drop was accompanied by a physical exhibition at the gallery in Shanghai, October 25-29. "In fact, money and trading have long been closely associated with art. Since the emergence of art, financialization has been continuously in process, only that its speed has varied at different times, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. But there is only one direction. When we enter the era of web3, money is a token, artwork is a token, and the two are finally equal!" ▫️objkt.one/explore/curati… Below: 'Art Week', by @sabatobox , owned by @Nicolas_Sassoon .






The old internet is nostalgic. In a time when there were no smartphones or high-speed internet, we used slow dial-ups to access the internet, yet we still enjoyed connecting with the world. The AOL Instant Messenger was a symbol of that era. AOL Instant Messenger, an instant messaging program once famous worldwide, allowed us to send text, pictures, and files quickly in that era of slow Internet speeds. Its appearance made communication more convenient and allowed us to make many new friends in the virtual world. At that time, we always looked forward to receiving letters from faraway places, the kind of anticipation and surprise as if it were just yesterday. With the development of technology, we have gotten used to all kinds of high-speed Internet services and instant messaging tools. However, when we look back on the past, those old Internet products that used to accompany us through countless days and nights still make us feel very emotional. They witnessed our growth and carried our memories. And AOL Instant Messenger is an indispensable part of those good times. “Magic Messenger” by @KurtHustle97 18/20 will be listed at 10:00 am EST on Dec 4. Link in comments👇

“Faceless” by @klazmandoo Below are Klaus's thoughts on the piece. This artwork, titled “Faceless,” depicts an alien face dissolving into a video feedback tunnel. The content of this artwork could be interpreted in various ways, depending on the context and perspective of the viewer. One possible interpretation is that the artwork is a commentary on the impact of digital media on human identity and communication. The faceless alien could represent the loss of individuality and humanity in a mediated world where people are reduced to anonymous and distorted images. The video feedback tunnel could symbolize the endless information cycle and noise that overwhelms and isolates people in the digital age. 🔗👇
