The Exquisite Corpse Project

At Blokhaus, we designed, developed, and launched a digital application that brings the surrealist parlour game of the Exquisite Corpse to life. The app invites global artists to work in their medium, collaborate borderlessly, and experiment in our digital salon. All you have to do is start a collaboration by uploading your piece of the figure. Once you've submitted, the next person will draw their section, using only a sliver of your figure. Finally, the third piece will be completed using a sliver of the second participant's drawing. At last, the figure will be minted on chain. Because the artworks are automatically minted upon completion, they are fractionally owned by each artist. Since the collaborations are anonymous, participants potentially collaborate with a well-known artist.
