NILI LERNER - ART INSTALLATION  

 ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS 

 January 8th- 20th, Bitcoin center 40 Broad street NYC

Opening reception Thursday January 8th 5:00 to 8:00pm.  

The art show is featuring Coca-Cola Coin ICOKE and Disney Coin IDISNEY, which are the first of 10 NILIcoins, created as art to demonstrate and promote the idea of a decentralized monetary system based on cryptocurrency. The coins which I issued are real tradable coins, however, these coins are not backed by the companies they depict.  As an artist I'm using a mental recognition of the visual image of each brand to paint a clear vision of the complex reality I wish to represent, and to illustrate a system which can become a viable and sustainable alternative for the monopoly of bank credit. The coins are listed on bitcointalk forum as a topic and exist as art on the forum’s announcements platform:  [PRE-ANN] [NILI] NILIcoins Art-coins [ANN] [ICOKE] Coca-Cola Coin  [ANN] [IDISNEY] Disney Coin 

The Coca-Cola coin imagery are multiples and treated images of the company’s logos.  The Disney coin features sequences of Mickey and Minnie dialogs as the coin presenters, and are related to well known images.

MINNIE: The things we do here as coin presenters, are like what Newton described as "Standing on the shoulders of giants”

MICKEY: Oh Minnie you always confuse things. This quote is used in the academia not in the world of commerce and intellectual property laws!

MINNIE: But I think that Walt was a genius too, and other people should be free to stand on his shoulders, just like they do in bitcoin. They call it "Open-Source" and I like that a lot.
