The Art of Survival: Aphorisms by an Old Girl (2020)
Series of 17 gifs.
The Art of Survival was originally 17 silent gifs from 2020, then reframed in 2023 as a series of NFT. They were inspired by Machiavelli’s The Prince and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War - the classical canons of power politics. Hart’s versions are not tangible books but are instead a series of 17 animated gifs, mottos meant to heal a flaming world where discussion has been polarized by social media and current real politics. Evoking Times Square billboards and branding slogans, this is public-address, but imagined here as ironic but truthful homilies directed at the divided space of social discourse. The NFT were narrated by the Queen Elizabeth bot, an open-source software Hart discovered online at the time of the real Queen Elizabeth’s death.
