Tokens of Desire is a series of three prints, comissioned for a group show GAMIFIKACE in Hraničář gallery, Ústí nad Labem. I created these prints to reflect on how desire is created and manipulated in the field of computer games, and how it is entangled with freemium economy, how blockchain is involved and how it plays with the higher dimensions of economy in general. I basically remixed a bunch of League of Legends art, overlaid various icons and diagrams over it and created super ornate fantasy frames.
