Silent Auction
2022
Interactive Installation
Various Sized depends on Exhibition space
The audience is invited to interact with it. Firstly, one needs to complete a bid form provided; participants are invited to submit their bids in the silent auction without announcing them. This auction procedure changes people's interactions to resemble commerce in a barter economy: people may view things that are put for auction and place bids on them. In contrast to a conventional auction, this one does not explicitly allude to money or any accepted currency. While the bidder will submit the offer using the provided non-monetary funds, artists can pick anything they wish to use as the currency for the bid value of their artwork. As the artist puts it: Measuring the equivalent value is difficult in this case, but exchanging things is always possible.
Instruction:
A silent auction gives people the chance to view items available and bid what the prize is worth to them. Rather than an auctioneer calling out prices for items and taking raised hands as bids, a silent auction is all done on paper. This silent auction does not explicitly allude to money or any accepted currency. Artists can pick anything they wish to use as the currency for the bid value of their artwork, while the bidder will submit the offer using the provided non-monetary funds.
