*Frogs over Fiat at NFT.NYC: The Power Of Memes*

In an exciting exploration of the intersection between NFT art and internet culture, Frogs over Fiat is challenging traditional notions of value and authenticity during NFT.NYC 2024. Hosted by SuperChief Gallery, the exhibition brings together a diverse collection of curated works that harness the memetic power of internet phenomena, with Pepe the Frog.

Curators Fake Rares, V.RUINES, Sascha Bailey, and Theo Goodman along with SuperChief Gallery have assembled a lineup of artists whose creations explore what’s lurking beneath the surface of digital culture. From the irreverent to the sublime, the artworks on display offer a glimpse into the culture of our hyper-connected world, where memes and cryptocurrencies reign over Benjamins.

Through a combination of satire, irony, and wit, artists challenge the notion of authenticity in a world where value is increasingly determined by online communities and digital marketplaces. The event shines a spotlight on the cultural significance of memes and cryptocurrency, highlighting their role as agents of social commentary and collective identity.

Showcased work explores the great potential of internet memes to challenge established power structures and social norms – through a mix of digital collage, found imagery, and digital paintings, the artists invite viewers to question norms of value in our culture, where meme coins and digital tokens hold sway over traditional fiat currencies.

In addition to the showcased images of Pepe with references to financial markets and economic theory, Frogs Over Fiat offers a wide range of events and activities for visitors to enjoy. From stand-up comedy performances to a sandwich buffet; DJ performances to “not boring” panels, the exhibition promises an entertaining experience for art lovers and meme enthusiasts alike.

Frogs over Fiat contemplates the broader cultural implications of memes and cryptocurrency in shaping our collective consciousness while highlighting the enduring power of internet culture.
