A privacy-invading ATM, the latest project from MSCHF, is getting a lot of attention. The Brooklyn-based art collective has brought the ATM Leaderboard to aVIP event where people can access their bank account balance which is then displayed in a ranking board overhead
The balances ranged from $2.9 million down to zero, with photos of the account holder next to their ranking. Gabriel Whaley told Artnet News that there was a lot of tension even if you weren't doing it. Being close to it feels like goingading you from a distance.
The new marketing scheme from MSCHF challenges people to put their actual wealth down to the penny, instead of showing their wealth through material things.
Everyone is wearing fancy watches and getting ready to go to the fair. Whaley said that every conscious action people are taking in this room is a flex of wealth. Put a number on it and rank it with your peers.
If a person agrees to purchase the work for $75,000, the collective will give them the $6,000 to $7,000 that is currently inside it and visitors can take out money from the ATM without an added fee. Act quickly.
The Perrotin gallery accepted the ATM Leaderboard even though it could be seen as a joke by those who purchase high-end artwork.
The founder of the gallery has always worked with artists who break the boundaries of what is fine art. She said thatMSCHF does its best work when it creates a piece that subverts a system.
One drop of human blood was sold out in less than a minute, and was a part of a project called " Satan Shoes", which was a collaboration between the artist and the brand.
The company does not focus on one area of advertising or marketing. Whatever works best in the moment is what it chooses.
He doesn't know how to identify it, but he thinks that's how it should be In 2020, Whaley told Business Insider that he couldn't describe the company and wondered what it was called.
What's a brand of? He didn't know. The magic is killed by being a company. We are trying to do things that the world can't define.
