Artist Statement:
Face Trade is an Art Vending Machine that dispenses unique prints of computer- generated face drawings. Instead of paying with money, buyers trade a mugshot that is taken on the spot in order to be permanently stored in the Ethereum Blockchain, consequently turning the transaction into a semi-permanent Face Swap.
