Description
This new 10 Dollar Gold Coin marks the 20th anniversary of the Cloaca project.
Depicting his Cloaca N° 5, Delvoye’s Fiji Coin is inspired by how PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are constructed and pays tribute to the digital revolution that was made possible by these computer circuits.
Clearly referring to contemporary developments in Artificial Intelligence, the makeability of the human body and brain, nanotechnology, biotechnology and the increasing digitization, Wim Delvoye uses the PCB-design to establish a link with blockchain technology, connecting the monetary aspect with the digital world, just as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies do.
Packed in a gold foil stamped box with a numbered certificate of authenticity. Edition of 250.
Designed by Wim Delvoye, made by Royal Dutch Mint.
