BLEU PROFOND

In 1959, the painter Yves Klein established the ritual rules for the transfer of immaterial pictorial sensitivity zones.

With these rules, and more broadly his work, Yves Klein anticipated in art what we are witnessing today, the enhancement of immateriality via blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies and more precisely NFTs.

By selling areas of sensitivity, void, in exchange for pure gold, then allowing the buyer to become the owner only after the destruction of the sales contract, he radically disrupts the concept of original, authenticity and possession.

Today, blockchain technology achieves a decentralized and secure archiving-process thanks to the resolution of cryptographic puzzles, thus constituting the backbone of a digital space hosting purely conceptual objects created and exchanged for values that are also conceptual.

It seems obvious to us that if Yves Klein were still alive, he would have declared that pure sensibility exists in a blockchain.

Picking up on this concept, Lionel Broye and Gaël Goutard have now created a smartcontract generating an empty space, an immaterial pictorial sensitivity zone in the ethereum blockchain of 1 kilo octets of 0 that can be bought in exchange for 1 kilo of gold.

This zone can be resold but can only be really owned once destroyed. This destruction will be done by the buyer via a "self destruct" command.

The purchaser who has taken possession of the zone will be notified of a time and place where he will be given a unique booklet containing the entire hexadecimal code of the smarcontract as well as the archive of all the previous purchasers who have wished to identify themselves by filling in the signature field during the purchase.
