NSK State: FIAT

£20.00£25.00

When citizens of a virtual art-state took it upon themselves to create a new currency, they chose a radically different direction than the blockchain coins currently in vogue. By appropriating not only the physical materials but also the functional aspects of the existing financial apparatus, the principals of the NSK State Reserve extended the retro-avantgarde toolkit of the NSK State to bring the financial industry and its history into frame. This book reprints the notes and bonds created by The Reserve, recounts key events from the history of this institution, and offers direct insight into their process and principles.

This book showcases and discusses the idea of currency, money, art and what denotes a currency that we are happy to exchange and value.

Both editions of the book come with an NSK printed banknote and the hardback also includes an NSK printed bond

Description

What is money, how do we think of it in the current period. Crypto currency was supposed to be putting control in the hands of people and away from banks but that reality has not entirely emerged. What is the benefit of a FIAT currency over a digital currency? State surveillance, control of finance and the right to control what is valuable seems continually in the hands of wealthy elites.

This book reprints the notes and bonds created by the Reserve, recounts key events from the history of this institution, and offers direct insight into their process and principles.
Can we subvert that control through the development of a global citizens paper currency, overprinted notes from past regimes. FIAT explores these conundrums!
