Solstice Star Gif(t) is a hybrid model of physical installation and digital artwork infused with the healing frequency of 111 Hz. Blending Daoist philosophy with collective participation, the project embodies a curatorial healing journey, guiding audiences into resonance across spiritual, technological, and artistic frequencies to foster collective balance.
Distributed as part of the exhibition ||| at Lisson Gallery, Solstice Star is a gif(t) created by Haroon Mirza and initiated by Sha Li. In the physical space, it appears as a vinyl QR code on the wall; upon scanning, an augmented 3D sculpture is activated. Recontextualized on the blockchain, the work extends into digital space, where anyone can own the GIF version as an NFT. This enables the artist to track ownership, remain creatively engaged, and continuously evolve the work within an expanding network, while allowing collectors to become active participants in its unfolding.
Embedding Solstice Star with the healing frequency of 111 Hz, a central element of the exhibition, aims to inspire audiences to attune to their own frequency. Token holders may later contribute their frequency back into the work, transforming it into a co-created piece of collective resonance.
Led by Haroon Mirza and Sha Li, in collaboration with Greg Hilty (curatorial director and partner, Lisson Gallery), George Cunliffe (creative technologist), and colleagues at Lisson Gallery and Verse.
