"Conscious Coin"
Samuel Walker and Louis TB, Conscious Coin, 2018.
Both physical and virtual, Conscious Coin is an immersive experience that proposes a shift to decentralized consciousness, in which could emerge a cryptocurrency of thought. First drawn into a space carefully inhabited with graphics, printed documents, and initiatory instructions, the visitor is later invited to experience as a rite of passage a generative virtual journey, that explores spiritual archetypes, transhumanism, cognitive psychology, and mythology.
