The world’s first microbiological art heist - we illicitly swab* organic material from the surface of famous artworks in museums and galleries worldwide... and then leg it...
Back in our laboratory we mutate living artists and resurrect dead painters by growing new artworks directly from the swabs taken of masterpieces by Matisse, Picasso, Pollock, Lichtenstein and Banksy at museums the MoMA, NY + The Tate, LDN + Moco, AMS.
These living, macroscopic, time-lapse loops become our NFTs - New Fungus Tokens.
It’s Alive !!!
THE RE-MATERIALISATION OF MATISSE
THE PICASSO PARTICLE
MICRO-POLLOCK
BIOLOGICAL BANKSY
FRANKENSTEIN-LICHTENSTEIN
+ a mega-mutant, created by cross contaminating three plates:
Pollock x Matisse x Banksy = POLLOCK DANCES WITH A SMILING COPPER.
*this mutant is ONLY available to existing DAT holders.
*Please note - no works of art were harmed in this process.
