“We’re excited to be able to help CryptoKitties make their museum debut by providing them with a physical home that’s worthy of a museum setting”, says Vladimir Vukicevic, CEO of Meural, in a statement. Meural’s Digital Art Canvases will display CryptoKitties as digital artworks. According to ZKM’s website, the exhibition’s works will “visualize and explain the complex dynamics of codes, and the way in which they are increasingly shaping the way we live and perceive the world.”
Our exhibit at ZKM continues our mission of demystifying the blockchain so that the people that can benefit from it most - whether they’re creators and consumers, or artists and their fans - can be a part of the technology’s future.”ĬryptoKitties’ “Bringing Blockchain to Life” exhibit will be featured as part of ZKM’s ongoing, boundary pushing “Open Codes” exhibition. “Emerging technology often has its most innovative work conducted in the art world - the Kitties are artworks themselves. “CryptoKitties’ good design and appealing aesthetics are responsible for introducing entirely new audiences to the potential of blockchain technology,” says Roham Gharegozlou, cofounder and CEO of CryptoKitties, in a statement. In May, a CryptoKitty displayed at Christie’s Auction House in New York sold for $140,000, with proceeds funding the Foundation for Art & Blockchain. Like traditional works of art, each CryptoKitty is distinct, and has valuations for individual cats ranging from six cents to six-figures. Often referred to as “cryptocollectibles” or “non-fungible tokens,” the philosophy and technology behind CryptoKitties serves as a proof of concept for blockchain’s potential to reshape art and culture.
CryptoKitties is also lauded for pioneering a use case for blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrencies.
