KOO EDITIONS Gallery
The journey of KOO EDITIONS Gallery began as an extension of the label, which launched a phygital (physical + digital) edition of records paired with art prints certified on Ethereum blockchain as a world premiere on March 1, 2023. This inaugural edition was developed in collaboration with Persian artist Ali Phi, inspired by his anti-carpet project QAL.
The gallery continues to explore the potential for certification of authenticity offered by Web 3.0, with a preview of new editions published as Ordinals on the Bitcoin blockchain. These include an exclusive posthumous series by Phill Niblock, as previously announced for the fulfillment of his groundbreaking cycle in intermedia, having spanned nearly seventy years making drastic and irreversible innovations in mediated forms of expression.
