Chinese artist Ai Weiwei uses the Ethereum blockchain to create artwork about the value

Over the years, it seems that the way we perceive the value is different depending on the context and, often, it does not correspond as it should. With the cryptocurrency boom, billions of dollars have been raised in investments, while charities and many hospitals are collapsing; Thousands of people die crossing borders and being refugees, while others store bitcoins just to observe how their price fluctuates.

Based on this vision, the artist of Chinese origin Ai Weiwei and his partner Kevin Abosch devised a concept in the pure style of a work of art represented in a chain of blocks, consisting of two tokens of the Ethereum network. Only two tokens, known as PRICELESS (PRCLS), were created: one of them will not be available to the public at any cost; the other token will be divided into 1 million fractions, which will give access to billions of citizens around the world who, in turn, can subdivide that piece into 18 even smaller decimals.

Additionally, only a limited number of series will be physically printed. Once the fragments are in the hands of the people, each one will be able to attribute a different value to them.

One of the questions that the authors wish to bring to the conscious of their followers is how the concept of the invaluable or valuable is perceived; for example, how they see the token that is unattainable in terms of value and possibility of possession, compared to what is easily available.

Really? Anyone could do this with a little coding in Solidity. So is he making a statement about crypto tokens being worthless because anyone can make and distribute them? Or trying to gain attention for the token he’s holding back until something drives its value up?
