Description

I highlighted details from artworks preserved as museum objects onto the discarded backing paper of Lego stickers. Nothing is trash that can be preserved digitally. Cultural memory is always shaped by selection, interpretation, and power, which means it is inevitably distorted. In the digital age, algorithms and platforms amplify this distortion by prioritizing visibility over accuracy. As a result, what we remember is not simply the past itself, but a filtered and constructed version of it. I redrew scenes from the Museo del Prado. GIF - permanent pen Details: 1. My own 2.

I will mail the signed original artwork to the owner. #physicalNFT #trashart
