PRICELE$$ ART MARKET by Alix Rothnie
~~***bidding has now closed~***~thank you to all who participated, viewed, commented***~~
How it works
The space is an anti-capital exchange market, operating similar to a silent auction - 'artwork' is listed and bids can be made using the form at the bottom of the page. At the end of the month, the artist will pick a winning bid and an exchange will be made. Bids can be anything exchangable (an object, a piece of advice, a recipe, a walk together, a meal at your house, a conversation...) except money.
** denotes winning bid, as chosen by the artist.
LOT No. 001
Guido Segni, Guido Segni - Works 2012 | 2016 -
I think it was internet art but I was just typing (2016)
Book
21x51cm
A 64 pages book about my art production from 2012 to 2016
Lucca, Italy
With a background in Hacktivism, Net Art and Video Art, Guido Segni, aka Clemente Pestelli, (b. 1976, Italy) lives and works somewhere at the intersections between art, pop internet culture and data hallucination.
Mainly focused on the daily (ab)use of Internet, his work is characterized by minimal gestures on technology which combines conceptual aproaches with a traditional hacker attitude in making things odd, useless and dysfunctional.
In quite recent years he moved from an identity to another producing works, actions and interventions under pseudonyms, collectives and multiple names (Dedalus, Clemente Pestelli, Guy McMusker, Angela Merelli, Anna Adamolo, Guy The Bore, Umberto Stanca, Silvie Inb, Fosco Loiti Celant, Guru Miri Goro, Leslie Bleus, Luther Blissett).
Co-founder of Les Liens Invisibles , he exhibited in galleries, museums (MAXXI Rome, New School of New York, KUMU Art Museum of Talinn) and art & media-art international festivals (International Venice Biennale, Piemonte SHARE Festival, Transmediale).
Recently he has been shortlisted for the art division of the 20th Japan Media Arts Festival (2017), has been finalist at Prize Arte Laguna (2016) and got an honorary mention at Transmediale (2011) width Les Liens Invisibles.
Currently he teaches at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Carrara, directs the imaginary REFRAMED lab and he is directing the online greencube.gallery.

Oxford, UK
Tom Milnes is an artist and curator. He has exhibited internationally including at: Gyeonggi International CeraMIX Biennale – Korea, AND/OR – London, The Centre for Contemporary Art Laznia – Gdansk, and W139 – Amsterdam. Milnes was recently the Sandarbh International Artist-in-Residence and Kingsgate Emerging Artist-in-Residence. He is the curator and founder of the online platform Digital Artist Residency.
Milnes’ practice explores concepts of reciprocity between site and technology. His research is focusing specifically on the use of 3D technologies. Milnes uses components from broken media, hacks obsolete machines and reappropriates viewing methods from historical technologies to create his works. His works explore the materialities of error inherent within digital technologies.

Tetsushi Higashino, FTHTTH x100 (2015, 18)

In the early hours of 14th of December 2005, a round-trip blank e-mail from me to me was exchanged 100 times. Reply-quotation marks (>) increased at each barren reply and made geometrical shape. The title "FTHTTH" means "From Tetsushi Higashino To Tetsushi Higashino". I will forward the email message to the winner.
Tokyo, Japan
Tetsushi Higashino refers to himself as an Unproductive Production Activist, apparently his definition of an artist. His work makes visible the logic of this notion and the metaphorical visions often derive from things that subliminally intervene in our daily lives. They transform the ordinary world we overlook into one of extraordinary nonsense. http://www.workth.net

Keir Clyne, Literally the Artist.1 // A series of ones and zeros that when correctly translated form the image of an artist who is actually there in the picture as an extension, and simultaneously a clone, of the artist in the picture (2018)
Digital image
Adjustable
This work plays with the idea of artist as object but also object as artist. If you film yourself dancing what is really the difference between you dancing and the image dancing other than your agency. How can you use the digital mediums of photography and film to extend yourself as a human, and as an object.
Penryn, UK
Keir Clyne is a choreographer and visual artist based in Cornwall that plays with the concepts of how to make a non-human artist whilst simultaneously blurring the lines between object and person. Their work has also looked into what steps would need to be taken to make the artist redundant in a world obsessed with technology.
