Il Link Art Center è lieto di presentare Mining Cards, un’opera inedita di Max Dovey. La mostra sarà online su Link Cabinet dal 28 marzo al 29 aprile 2018.
Mining Cards di Max Dovey è una serie di carte da gioco da collezione create dall’artista, registrate e distribuite attraverso blockchain. Ogni carta presenta l’immagine di una mining rig fatta in casa – un impianto amatoriale per minare criptovalute – assieme alle caratteristiche tecniche di ogni singolo impianto. In questo senso il lavoro contribuisce a rendere visibile l’infrastruttura materiale di questa tecnologia, restituendone il carattere domestico dato dalle ambientazioni casalinghe che si scorgono nelle foto, nonchè alludendo alla componenete amatoriale e fai da te insita nell’idea stessa di costruire una rete peer to peer e decentralizzata di computer.
