About

“If a joke has to be explained, it is no longer funny. Unfortunately, this show is filled with jokes that have to be explained. Some jokes are memes directly taken from Instagram or Twitter, the paintings are copies of these memes with no alteration. The people interested in cryptocurrencies do not have to have the jokes explained. The memes operate with their own visual language. The footnote explanations of the paintings delineate a difference in cultural literacy between the fields of art and the technology.“ (Christine Wang)
