About this artwork
The Transaction Art Universe is populated The transaction universe is populated by the heroes of the transaction world - strange animals and people with hidden faces living and dead whose job is to record all types of transactions that create humanity. Over the course of 20 years, I created more than 8,000 photo and video works in which I recorded the manifestations of the universe of transactions on city streets in real life.
Transaction's type:… Real life.
This is "Transaction in progress. Please wait a few minutes and try again" from 2013 - 2014

Conceptual Artist | Creator of the Transaction Art Universe
My practice interrogates the fragile architectures of identity, memory, and value in a hyper-surveilled world. At its core lies the Transaction Art Universe (2012–Present)—an evolving system where art emerges from bureaucratic seams, digital fractures, and anonymized collective acts.
Key Pillars:
▸ Anonymity as Resistance
3,214+ collaborators surrender authorship under binding NDAs, creating a hive of contested narratives.
▸ The Aesthetics of Failure
Glitches, erased data, and legal voids are not metaphors—they are the medium.
▸ Art as Legal Fiction
Each piece exists as both artifact and contract, challenging ownership’s boundaries.
For Collectors:
Acquiring a Transaction Art work means investing in a living system. Whether a notarized glitch-print, performance relic, or cryptographic document, you become custodian of an ongoing experiment where art and transaction collapse into one.
