XCOPY Collector Meetup
04.06.2026, Lisbon, Portugal
As part of the XCOPY Collectors Meetup in Lisbon, we will present the Collector’s Edition of Collecting Art Onchain as a unique interactive performance, “Nothing Left To Trade”.
The book features a number of prominent XCOPY collectors and voices from the early digital art ecosystem, reflecting on conviction, collecting, market psychology, and the emergence of blockchain as a cultural infrastructure. Several iconic XCOPY works are also referenced throughout the publication as part of the broader narrative around digital scarcity, networked culture, and the aesthetics of post-internet anxiety. Positioned between archive, oral history, and cultural artifact, Collecting Art Onchain captures not only what was collected, but why it mattered, preserving the human layer behind one of the most important artistic movements of the digital era.
