The line between art and finance is blurred, but the traditional art world positions itself separately from finance. It is dismissive of cryptocurrencies and digital art. In October, SHL0MS decided to set the record straight. Art in institutional circles is often profit-oriented. “If art is trading, let's trade,” he declared. And so they started trading, right at the traditional Frieze London art fair. To contrast with the pomp of the fair, they arrived in an old Renault van. The van sold “non-stocks” and issued receipts in the form of physical certificates. Collectors included institutional fans, cryptodegenerates, and curious passersby. This is not the first time SHL0MS has engaged in performance art. In 2022, he launched the $CAR project: he blew up a Lamborghini and sold documentation of it in the form of tokens that became worth more than the car itself. https://hypebeast.com/2022/2/shl0ms-destroyed-lamborghini-huracan-nft
