Exquisite Workers emerged at the beginning of a Covid19 lock-down in Barcelona as an independent artists-owned company and a social media platform to help artists thrive during the lock-down and cross physical and historical boundaries.

Exquisite Workers brings creatives from all over the world to one Instagram feed and creates the body of work published daily and defined by a montly colorful palette called Digital and Crypto Exquisite Corpse.

In just one year, the project has 23 Exquisite Corpses, made up of 1,455 individual contributions made by 572 artists (including 331 female illustrators) from 50 countries.

Due to the growing demand for NFT advice for artists, collectors and NFT traders, Exquisite Workers has grown as a creative consultancy and a place to find tech-friendly art direction, extremely rare visuals and immersive and interactive NFT's (2D, 3D and Holo-art).

The 6th of April 2020 in the city if Barcelona we proudly posted the first piece of Digital Exquisite Corpse on Instagram @exquisiteworkers.

Exquisite Corpse was a game played among greatest Surrealists and major Dada figures in which each participant took turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper folding it to conceal their contribution, and then passing to the next player for further contribution.

Dalí is one of the most iconic surreal creators in the history of the art world. His extravagant nature and the fanciful imagery that surrounded both his work and his life made him one of the best known and most controversial twentieth-century artists. 

His artistic style and personal exuberance was strange even for Surrealists, through he was influenced by realism, impressionism, pointillism, cubism, fauvism, purism and futurism. To craft an idiosyncratic world with his art, he drew inspiration from Velázquez to contemporary pop culture, and he also showed a deep understanding of what it means to be a successful working artist. 

He created a paranoid-critic method as a catalyst to channel what he was thinking combined with rational ideas that seemed unrelated. He attempted to create objects and images that could never be part of his reality. He attempted to project his unconscious through real, critical, and lucid images. He would use his phobias to create chaotic and enigmatic works. By juxtaposing symbols like someone suffering from paranoia would, he would change the perception of reality. André Breton considered Dalí’s technique as a tool to use in painting, poetry, fashion, film, sculpture, and creative endeavors in general. 

We are absolutely excited Dalí to be our great mentor on the Moon. No one else like him!

These are the ‘Earth editions’ which serve us as a training and ‘Cosmos editions’ which are for sale.

As we already mentioned, we have posted our creations on Instagram since the 6th of April 2020 and we called them Digital Exquisite Corpse. Up to date we have created 24 Digital Exquisite Corpses, 6 of them were done by children from 3 to 12 years old.

Crypto Exquisite Corpse is the special series of work posted both on our Instagram and Website as a response to the exciting NFT growth. Since the 1st of May during the following months we are releasing 505 tokens (with artists of 18 years old or older) which are available for auctions. This means you can own, collect and resell them. 

While the astronauts reach the next interstellar object which generally takes a couple of weeks of light, we monitor on Instagram the progress of the artists who keep practicing on Earth.

The first Crypto Exquisite Corpse of all times is being created in the great Solar Chain System by bringing the highly qualified illustrators from Earth to different planets.

We start this tremendous historical outer space expedition on Mercury, then we are navigating to Venus and the Moon, then we are vising the Red Planet which we are especially looking forward to, afterwards the Jupiter etc. until we reach the Unknown. That is where the last Super Real edition or mysterious expedition will take place.

We bring with us the glorious art, sophisticated skills and Manifesto, aiming to find on the Solar Chain System the artefacts and experiences that can give us the perspective towards the new growing Universe we dive in, the Earth and ourselves.

Our mission is to go farther into space than ever before with the loyal passionate Real and Super Real collectors supporting us. We search for a more clear understanding of the historic moment we live in. We want to know if navigating through the blocks of artists-first Space will change the way we create, forever registering the daily steps we undertake in the Exquisite Corpse and blockchain. There is no way back.

We are excited that you are here to undertake the historical Crypto Exquisite Corpse journey with us.

To start collecting you will need the special chain wallet to use in space. We recommend installing the MetaMask for wallet management. Once you have made the account, you need to send some ETH (also known as Ethers) to the MetaMask wallet.

As soon as you set your mind about the piece(s) of Crypto Exquisite Corpse you like to collect, you can place a bid on them by clicking "Buy Now". The website will take you to the marketplace where you can use your MetaMask wallet.

Each day we post 3 illustrations available for an auction. The auctions will be of a different duration. Read carefully the rules of Crypto Exquisite Corpse game and become our favorite Real or Super Real collector!

Mercury edition starts on the 1st of May, 2021. 
Venus edition starts on the 21st of June, 2021. 
Moon edition starts on the 26th of July, 2021.

Big and main ones are 10. We are going to Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. These are 9 plus 1 "Super Real" which we will enthusiastically discover together with you. 

If there is a comet, nebula, star worth visiting on our way, we will consider that ^^.

These are the captain assistants who are the leading artists. The astronaut who selects the colors and the mood for the journey is the one who creates the last or top image of the Exquisite Corpse. It is the only position which is pre-established.

On Mercury edition the right hand of the pilot is the Mexican illustrator Pavel Valseca (@pavelvalseca) who has largely worked in Advertising, Cinematography and Videogames on Earth and has a real soft spot for the science fiction, terror and fantasy that gracefully implement the human figure and nature mixed with technology and supernatural.

On Venus edition the captain’s proud is David Durà from Barcelona (@daviddmotion) who explores new worlds and techniques, focusing on light, color and composition and creates a unique poetic language situating his stunning work halfway between cyber world and a human one.

On Moon expedition Pluulp (@pluulp) decides the color and the mood of the journey. She is a Chilean cartoonist who is fond of marrying the cute with the dark and whose dynamic work is influenced by science fiction and old cartoons.

Let's discover together what masterpieces the crew has prepared for us!

You decide! We are currently running the auctions on Opensea where you can place a bid and express your admiration to the Artwork and the astronaut, competing with other collectors.

We believe that the further we go into the Solar Chain System, the higher will be the cost of fuels and equipment for the interstellar travels. And the more support of the Real and Super Real collectors we need. The recommended price of the very first journey is five Ξ (ETH) since we have to pass through multiple layers of Earth’s atmosphere and lots of the crypto pollution.

If you acquire the piece of Crypto Corpse by winning the auction, you become a Real collector. It is already great because you will enter the cosmic draws to be able to define our farther steps and will forever be in our hearts.

If you purchase ALL the pieces of each edition, you are granted a highter and honorable status of a Super Real collector. Very few persons will ever be able to gain it!

There are three ways to add your unique touch.

Once we have the winners of the auction, we invite the art-collectors to enter the raffle to have their portrait drawn in the next edition. If the NFT collector buys two pieces of Crypto Corpse, he or she has a double chance of winning the raffle. If they buy 3, even more. If they buy the whole corpse (90 units), the collector will not need to enter the raffle: he or she gets the portrait automatically. And becomes the Super Real collector.

There also will be the raffle to gain the privilege of choosing the color palette of one of the upcoming editions of Crypto Corpse which is a very responsible task. It will define the mood of the whole planet expedition.

The third way and our favorite one is following: the Real and Super Real collectors of Crypto Corpse can combine the pieces of all 10 editions the way they wish. There are 10 templates of the Exquisite Corpse. By buying multiple pieces you can fit them in all possible ways following the direction of the Snake. You can even grant one of the pieces of Corpse to your dear one. You will be forever connected by the shared exquisite Snake, love and the memory of the interstellar expedition.

The NFT properties are 2480x2480 JPG.

The Artwork will be shipped to you from the Solar Chain System with a physical gift which represents the art print (21 x 21 cm) made of a recycled star dust with the Exquisite Workers label featuring information such as

- the title of the piece
- the artist
- when purchased (on the primary market)
- and a handy QR Code that links to an informational page about the Exquisite Corpse piece on the marketplace.

Imporant: The Real and Super Real collectors might claim their physical art-gift only during 14 days after the auction (two weeks) via email hello@exquisiteworkers.com, only when the NFT is purchased for 0,5 ETH or more.

There are many ways and we believe that the upcoming months the technology will surprise us. There are all sorts of digital frames, wall-mounted screens, jewelry with digital screens.

By having numerous pieces of Crypto Exquisite Corpse you can transform your walls into a Super dynamic personilised gallery.

The Crypto Exquisite Corpse NFTs on display in physical spaces should not be reduced to only living on screens though. That is why we support the physical print concept.

We post each day 3 premium quality illustrations as exclusive NFTs 1/1. The astronauts do not know what other artists create and where their Artwork is placed in the Grid. It is a pleasant surprise for everyone.
