Shuai Liu & Maurice Huvelin are artists who create transcendent works. They are also curators, editors and critics of Universal Contemporary Art.
Today they are awarding the Arta-nale Critics' Prize to contemporary artist Xrankurtzig Boudek for his work "Flashpoo". Computer data, based on a real-time audio recording of a break session in the public toilets of the European Parliament in Brussels, are transformed and recycled into digital NFTs thanks to the personal AI of Hungarian sculptor Xrankurtzig Boudek, who recently exhibited at the Plateforme du Louvre. The work, entitled "Krotyn Blokchën", is made up of digital micro-particles of MPs' excrement and urine preserved in a sealed container labelled with the code Xcgfd76396-fgb for a value of 3,000,000 euros, the original copy. The original piece now belongs to the Critic Art Universe Foundation©. A numbered analogue series of CAUF©-certified single copies, with a luxury paper edition, photographic prints and video on USB key are sold for between 8,000 and 800,000 euros, depending on the print format and the package requested. A special collector's edition of the unfalsifiable work, encrypted and engraved by the AI cauf-cauf© on a gold micro-disc, is kept at the Ministry of Culture of the Kugelmugel Republic on the Prater in Vienna, Austria.
