Leni Smoragdova {$M} Conceptual Artist | Creator of the Transaction Art Universe My practice interrogates the fragile architectures of identity, memory, and value in a hyper-surveilled world. At its core lies the Transaction Art Universe (2012–Present)—an evolving system where art emerges from bureaucratic seams, digital fractures, and anonymized collective acts. Key Pillars: ▸ Anonymity as Resistance 3,214+ collaborators surrender authorship under binding NDAs, creating a hive of contested narratives. ▸ The Aesthetics of Failure Glitches, erased data, and legal voids are not metaphors—they are the medium. ▸ Art as Legal Fiction Each piece exists as both artifact and contract, challenging ownership’s boundaries. For Collectors: Acquiring a Transaction Art work means investing in a living system. Whether a notarized glitch-print, performance relic, or cryptographic document, you become custodian of an ongoing experiment where art and transaction collapse into one.
