Access to future works enables you to receive a 20% discount on their listing prices should you wish to buy them before their public listing. * Year-Long Exclusive Subscription: Enjoy a full year of private access to the artist's exclusive art sales, which comes in the form of private calls and communications using steganography and video meet links. * Priority and Commission Rights: Benefit from the right of first refusal on new works before they are publicly listed on an NFT exchange and the unique opportunity to commission bespoke pieces directly from the artist, without any limit on their production numbers. Only five of these passes will ever be issued, ensuring an intimate and privileged experience. Purpose This initiative addresses an ontological challenge within public art display. As soon as art is showcased in an NFT exchange or a public gallery, it loses its authenticity as an art object as it is thoroughly analysed as a product of commerce and labour. This experiment tests whether the artist’s connection with meaning and the production of meaning can be seen as authoritatively aesthetic and philosophical, by securing access to the art that avoids its spectacle as a commodity object. The artist aims to explore and create a form of private art, utilizing steganography for communication and provenance with collectors to make the creation, sharing and ownership of art one of patronage rather than market competition. This groundbreaking art style will remain private for the collector, cherished solely by the collector, either physically or digitally, through a system of private transfers and the use of encoded messages that will be managed by the artist himself. Owners of this NFT private access pass will also receive the steganography handbook that acts as a cipher decoder to ensure that even if a public image is being shared, the private vital provenance and aesthetic information is locked away from public view. For example, one might buy a physical art piece or a digital art piece, but may also want to have an NFT to mark the event and the ownership. The artist working with the Steganography Handbook will create an AI cover image for the art and hide the image of the art piece into the image using a password that only the artist and the collector share. This ensures that not only will the collector be able to mark a public record of his or her ownership of a unique piece of art, he or she will also be able to preserve their ability to be one of the rare viewers of the art. In this sense, we are flipping the script on rarity in art sales and art markets. We are making the viewers of the piece scarce rather than the piece itself. This prevents the art from being an object of finance and spectacle. Embrace the revolution of art collecting with "Accès Privé" and become part of an elite circle redefining the boundaries of art ownership.
