The third solo installation at Nguyen Wahed’s booth for the upcoming Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 will present a new performative work by @XCOPYART employing smart contract as a medium.
XCOPY's debuts with Coin Laundry, a conceptual piece marking a particular inflection in XCOPY's practice, where a site-specific installation emerges as site of ritual transformation inviting everyone to participate on site. Here, smart contracts become dramaturges, orchestrating encounters between digital promise and material necessity. The work extends beyond critique into lived proposition: crypto art inhabiting its own speculative architecture while simultaneously exposing the machinery of belief.
Following Guillaume Bijl’s hyperrealistically disorienting environments, XCOPY transforms the functional space of a laundromat into an initiation chamber. What distinguishes Coin Laundry is its phenomenological positioning. Rather than external critique, the work operates from within crypto culture's mythology, using the very protocols it examines to structure participation.
This collective blockchain-based work is presented in partnership with Shape.
