P2P Gift Credit Card - Gift Finance
2010. Digital print, plastic cards embossed, dimensions variable
This project proposes an alternative financial model based on the Peer-to-Peer architecture for a more equal sharing of wealth in society. It offers an innovative participatory system using counterfeit virtual money. By issuing a visionary, illicit type of VISA credit card, the project introduces Gift Finance, a monetary policy based on free universal credit without interest. Gift Finance is the democratic creation of money directly regulated by ordinary people in order to redistribute wealth in society. The website P2PGiftCredit.com allows people to generate unique virtual card numbers and send them to others via digital platforms. A limited edition of physical plastic P2P Gift Credit Cards are available by request at P2PGiftCredit.com, and they have been distributed at public actions and world wide via snail email.
