@superflexstudio's 'Connect With Me' (2018) is a series of sculptural works, initially perceived as five abstract blue steel objects - each with a certain viewpoint in which they appear as graphs. The graphs depicting segments of the fluctuating value of Bitcoin during an 18-month period, which contained the largest peak of value so far. In a paradoxical way, 'Connect With Me' translates the intangible substance of cryptocurrencies into sculptures, by giving form to the only non-metaphorical image we have of them: progress over time. When initially viewed, the sculptures present themselves as modernist, minimal art objects, but seen from a bird’s-eye view, the motive reveals itself as a familiar image from the world of economics. The title suggests a personal invitation to join, to connect, to participate - but by whom and to what remain unclear. As an altered version of the slogan of a private bank, it underlines the suggestive language of capitalism, and how we simultaneously experience intimacy as well as a commodified reality every day. Perhaps it is an invitation to a future dream of utopian freedom, perhaps to a capitalistic nightmare. Perhaps to both at the same time.
