Kevin Abosch is a conceptual artist from Ireland who is widely regarded as one of the first to embrace blockchain technology as a medium. His art has been shown in many national museums, including The Hermitage, and he has been profiled by The New York Times, Forbes, and CBS News, among others. "Yellow Lambo" and "IAMA Coin" are two of his significant blockchain achievements.
Abosch was also named creative director of Animoca Brands, which is The Sandbox's parent business, in 2019. In 2021, cryptocurrency will have an intriguing year: holders will become wealthy, while the rest of the globe will see a new wave of coronavirus-related shutdowns and turmoil. According to Abosch, this is the moment to look inward:
"Our value systems are being put to the ultimate test right now." People I know live like hummingbirds, barely pausing to sleep. However, due to the epidemic, shutdowns, and other factors, people have been forced to slow down and spend extended amounts of time alone – this is when you are forced to reconsider the value of everything, particularly the pricelessness of life itself."
Abosch's work, in whatever form it takes, will be more important than ever in this setting.
