Abstract:

  • (Short paper)

    Keywords: Artistic Research, Bitcoin, Performance, Media Arts, Artistic Bokeh, Bitcoincloud, Community Practice, Artistic Capital.

    Critical new media art is based on research-based art practice. It is both research- and process-oriented, so that the final result is not “completed” works (products) but rather process artifacts. This paper describes the artistic research and development of the art-group “Artistic Bokeh”, which is developing new documentation formats, and conducting experiments about the value of artistic practice and labor.
