Making NFTs into art.
Artist Statement
I create digital art that fuses cryptographic systems with the aesthetics of art history, merging the codes of software, culture, and property. This approach draws on conceptual art, net art, and postmodern design, offering a poetic minimalism that invites thoughtful contemplation. Through this process, my work navigates the intricate dynamics of authenticity and ownership in an increasingly online, on-chain world.
Bio
Rhea Myers is an artist, hacker, and writer based in British Columbia, Canada, originally from the UK. She makes art to understand the world, mutually interrogating technology and culture to produce new ways of seeing the world as it unfolds around us. Since 2014, she has used the blockchain as a medium for embodying, critiquing, and moving beyond the anxieties of post-financial-crisis society.
Inspired by the histories of conceptualism and net art, Rhea has worked with digital imagery and computer code and produced theory, critique, and fiction as the blockchain art world has gone from the imagination to the mainstream. She didn’t invent NFTs, though. Twice.
Rhea’s art has gained international recognition. It is exhibited globally, sold at prestigious auction houses like Sotheby’s, and collected by renowned institutions such as the Albright Knox Gallery in the US.
