89 Seconds Atomized by Eve Sussman

“This is the first artistic project I helped bring onto the crypto community. Snark acted as a production studio to assist traditional artists experiment with the blockchain and its concepts. Eve is a recognized video artist who tokenized the artist proof of her famous work, 89 seconds at Alcázar, which is in large museum collections but rarely on view. Her goal was to use the blockchain to distribute ownership to a community of holders who would be in charge of the life of the artwork. A historical reference on how artists can use blockchain themes and mechanisms to create new conceptual artworks.“

What I love about this work
