Terms of Agreement 🐳

Museum of the Moving Image · New York, NY
About this event
For this Museum commission, presented as part of the Museum’s year-long partnership with the Tezos Foundation, conceptual artist Jonas Lund (b. 1984, Sweden), whose work critically examines contemporary networked systems and technological innovation, is paired with Yoshi Sodeoka (b. 1967, Japan), an artist and musician whose work explores the tension between precision and chaos through unpredictable, self-organizing systems that blur natural and artificial behavior. In Terms of Agreement 🐳 (2026), the white-collar worker becomes a simulated figure whose claim to individuality collapses into collective caricature. Its examination of professional life pulls from the economic structures of the art world, including the behaviors and influence of collectors. This real-time webpage unfolds as a triptych featuring autonomous simulations, combining Tezos network data of real-time wallet transactions from a handful of top collectors of media art (known as “whales”) combined with live data from actual whales and other cetaceans like dolphins and orcas, being tracked at sea. Work appears as a choreography of gestures, conversations, transactions, and affiliations that convert obedience into the appearance of agency. Workers remain ceaselessly active while ultimately producing nothing. Learn more about MoMI x Tezos: Blockchain as Art. At a station in the Museum lobby and online below, the public is invited to collect a process image from the production of Terms of Agreement 🐳. Claim Terms of Agreement 🐳 here.
