If money doesn’t stink, then what do cryptocurrencies smell like?

The Crypto Note (Ethereum) edition consists of an NFT and a glass perfume flacon, the seal of which cannot be opened without breaking the glass. The puzzle regarding the smell of money can therefore only be solved by destroying value.

Works of art and currencies have in common that their value is a promise based on collective trust. Whereas financial, cultural and social values are volatile, and cryptocurrencies even more so, one aspect remains constant: blockchain technology documents every change of ownership. Thus, the digital twin of each object has a footprint, an NFT as an uninterrupted line of provenance that will quite possibly be traceable to the end of the internet age.

The edition consists of an NFT + the intact physical glassflacon, approx. 18 x 8 x 5 cm. The individual glass objects vary slightly in shape and appearance. After buying the NFT, contact the previous owner on https://chat.blockscan.com/start and state the delivery address for the physical object. As an owner, you should check your messages on https://chat.blockscan.com/start after selling.

First NFT shown at Akademie der Künste Berlin, the work was on display at the exhibition "What Matters" from 12.3 to 10.4.2022 and later at Haus der Kunst Munich at the exhibition "resetNOW!" from 6.8 to 21.9.2023.
