London Unveils World's First Crypto Sculpture

[Dev123]

Cryptocurrency is here to stay!

London unveiled "Crypto Connection - powered by Eidoo", the world’s first ever crypto sculpture. Situated prominently at Observation Point on London's Southbank between the OXO Tower and the BFI to ensure high visibility, the hugely ambitious statue was created by contemporary artist Federico Clapis and commissioned by the multi-currency crypto wallet and hybrid exchange Eidoo.

Standing at three meters tall, the sculpture depicted a mother carrying her unborn baby who is on a digital device.

With London as the world’s famous cultural hub and a strong contender as the crypto capital of the world, it is no surprise that it was chosen to house this iconic and ambitious project of the so-called guerrilla marketing, reflecting the dichotomy of cryptocurrencies: an apparently fleeting trend, but built to endure.

Federico Clapis explained the inspiration behind his artwork:

I am passionate about cryptocurrency and blockchain and the way I see it, the baby in the statue represents a generation being born into a world where blockchain is normal and useful for all.

Clapis goes on to explain:

I believe Eidoo is the perfect partner of my artistic vision. Live the future every day as if it were already present. I think that blockchain technology represents a decisive step for our technological and economic evolution, with effects spreading to every sector, including art. I am very happy to be able to represent the “Crypto Connection” that binds us together, a link similar to the one that binds a mother to a Child of the Future.

Group CEO of Eidoo, Lars Schlichting, heralded the coming of a “digital revolution” with the crypto sculpture:

We're thrilled to unveil the first crypto sculpture in the world in the creative hub of London. With the crypto space developing fast we wanted to explore a way to communicate with a wider public using the hugely engaging medium of art. We have immensely enjoyed working with Federico Clapis who has managed to capture our intention through this awe-inspiring piece. We're delighted to warmly invite all who are interested to visit the sculpture until the 23rd June.

Eidoo’s intention was for the public to spark debate and to contemplate what the future may look like operating with a new kind of digital currency. He encourages spectators to take photos with the sculpture and share their thoughts about it on social media using the hashtags #cryptoconnection and #Eidoo.

One thing for sure, cryptocurrency is notoriously esoteric. Yet, it is a concept which lives up to its name - too cryptic to understand, to current to ignore.
