During its 2015 Moniker art fair, Moniker Projects worked with aritsts Ben Eine, Sam Hamilton and Schooney Focusing on the concepts ‘Renaissance is Now’ focusing on ‘Decay’ and ‘Change’ and how decentralized technologies like bitcoin, offer humanity the real prospect of a hope, and its benefits to the wider public.
In what has been described as the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the world, Moniker Projects is bravely and ambitiously striving for a fairer busyness model for not only contempary artist, but the wider society.
Frankie Shea, Director of Moniker Projects, comments:
“Over the last 6 years, Moniker Art Fair has helped forge a direct, unpretentious approach to appreciating and collecting art from
a new generation of contemporary artists.
Bitcoin and its benefits has become part of method we are striving to work with for positive change.
It’s the second decade of the 21st Century, and Generation Y are looking for new ways to spend their money.
Which is why the Bitcoin- the latest financial fad is steadily making waves in the underground geek scene. Founded as an internet currency, this is money that you can’t see, feel or smell, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the smell of a crisp £5 note? But for some, who perhaps have a lot of money, keeping their wads of cash in a bank is less appealing.. The Bitcoin is an online concept, so there are no middle men, 24 hour access, 365 days a year. What’s not to like?
By taking a leap of faith into the unknown, this universal currency is gaining acceptance across the globe, and mainstream retailers are trading in the Bitcoin for household (currently mostly electrical) essentials.
With a thirst for discovering new talent, London’s independent Moniker Art Fair is known for it's left field principles, and is set to sell it’s art work using Bitcoin at this year’s show.
Pioneering a new step in the art wold, this years project has worked with artists including Ben Eine, Sam Hamilton and Schooney, who are the voice of the generation who embrace change. Focusing on the concept ‘Renaissance is Now’, it becomes more obvious how decentralized technologies like Bitcoin, can make art more accessible, and showcase it’s benefits to the wider public.
With cash becoming more and more obsolete, it makes sense that you can truly buy anything online.
