ABOUT OUR PROJECT
The Decentralized Value Systems (DVS) project was started in 2021 to question our perception of value in the modern economic construct where prices are an omnipresent determinant of demand and desirability. In a world increasingly edging into virtuality, the purpose of money is redefined and desensitized. Worth has been transformed into derivatives stretching across time, distance and electrical pulses.
WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE MONEY?
We will commit 10% of all primary and secondary sales to NGOs that we believe in, and right now it will go to UNHCR, as we have worked directly with them previously and visited their refugee camp in Kakuma, Kenya in 2019. We have personally seen their work up close, and they do incredible and important contributions to humanity. It is also pertinent in times like this.
For the rest of the funds, we intend to build a team dedicated to Chow and Lin projects. We have been working on art projects over the past 12 years, and most of this is self-funded. We have 2 wonderful interns at the moment, but we think that the funds can bring us to the next step, including working on a global Poverty Line project reaching 50 countries for the next decade.
Our first decade of The Poverty Line has already won us numerous accolades, including being named the MoMA favourite photobooks of 2021, and praises from 2 Nobel prize-winning economists.
