How can objects of speculative value be reimagined as support for mutual aid?

Ligatures (Node 1) is a new augmented reality series that connects lines of support — between artist, collector, and collectives dedicated to mutual aid. Node 1 expresses the concept of a multi-nodal decentralized network as an interlocking kinetic sculptural form that changes over time — like a living organism. Through the certificate, the collector gains access to a link to the AR artwork. As a digital piece, Node 1 will exist in 3 locations at once — the collector’s home, the artist’s studio, and the site of mutual aid.

100% of the artist’s proceeds from the sale of the NFT will be donated to EV loves NYC, an East Village grassroots organization that provides emergency food services to those hardest hit by COVID.
