The Ether Currency artwork brings into question the materiality of money. Currency as a belief structure forms a contract between two or more transactional parties. The mining of crypto currency requires energy and therefore contains mass (expended materiality). Marshall MacLuhan points out that new technological environments are ‘cast in the molds of the preceding technology’ (i.e., gold/coins/dollars). This Ether Currency is a representation of a representation, a simulacra of paper money.
