Produced exclusively for Juneart.io is Tobias Kaspar's TK202111SPT500 an intricate intersection of virtual and physical space. The work consists of 500 uniquely customized teddy bears floating in virtual space, as well as 500 physical bears. In order to acquire one of the NFTs, however, one must go through a very specific process. First, one of the physical teddy bears must be obtained to access the NFT code that is hidden inside the bear.
Through this gesture the piece inverts the relationship between digital and physical space that we have become accustomed to: utilizing digital media in order to make physical objects more accessible and to make physical processes run faster and more efficiently. Kaspar's work does the exact opposite, requiring collectors to go to a specific location in the physical world and commit a physical act in order to receive something in digital space.
