Snowboard examines China's modern Orwellian digital dictatorship and surveillance state. Domestically, the Chinese Government continues to roll out the country-wide social credit system to monitor society and quash civic organization. Citizen activity is monitored closely for “dissident behavior”, and punished with travel bans, slower internet, and being barred from higher education. This surveillance has expanded to overseas Chinese and foreign populations with tracking via apps like WeChat, TikTok, and Zoom.
The first NFT project from Chinese dissident artist Badiucao, the Beijing 2022 Collection includes five works of art depicting the Chinese government’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each of the five works will be minted as 2022 editions, and collectors will have the opportunity to write their own message of opposition to China’s authoritarian regime onto the blockchain as part of the minting process, preserving it as a public decentralized record of protest.
