Interactive Art Installation ‘CryptoPong Participate’ Fuses the Past and Present of Gaming. CryptoPong Participate is a site-specific, interactive art installation created by the renowned artist group Kvetny&Velasco as part of the CryptoPong exhibition at Nikolaj Kunsthal Sep 17 - 22 Jan. The artist group Kvetny&Velasco announces a new, interactive art installation CryptoPong Participate (2022) which explores a new aspect of consumerism and digital behavior – transparency of transactions, NFT collectibles, gamification, and how we relate to a new reality that combines the physical and virtual worlds with digital assets that are verified. The CryptoPong Participate installation is a tribute to the 50th anniversary of one of the first computer games, Pong, which symbolises the beginning of the digital age – and whose significance on several levels is reflected in the installation. During the exhibition period, 50 unique CryptoPong Participate NFTs from the installation will be minted on the energy-efficient Tezos blockchain and transferred to the person that physically finds the same artwork on a ping-pong ball at the art installation in Nikolaj Kunsthal. Each NFT has a unique artwork by the Danish artist Ida Kvetny. The participant can then choose to keep a physical or virtual version of the artwork. If the person chooses to receive an NFT they deliver the ping-pong ball to the exhibition place and get further instructions. You can see the CryptoPong Participate NFTs at link in [email protected] artists behind the installation, Radar Contemporary nor Nikolaj Kunsthal cannot be held responsible on anything related to the blockchain, nor help in setting up any technical aspects. Games like Pong’s highly pixelated aesthetics bear some resemblance to the contemporary, popular NFTs and the now cultic CryptoPunks, which have played a central role in the spread of NFT as a phenomenon – hence the installation name CryptoPong. @radarcontemporary @idakvetny @_dianavelasco_ #cryptoart #mixedmedia #cryptopong #cryptopongparticipate #game #installationart @tezos.info #Tezos #CleanNFT #blockchainevolved
