Projects by Thomas Hanscomb
Just Bricks, 2021
Just Bricks was one of 2021’s most iconic digital art provocations.
A basic brick was turned into a worthless NFT to mock the absurdity of the crypto art boom.
Through illegal guerrilla stunts at the Louvre and Tate, it blurred the line between satire and spectacle - before ironically selling for €400,000.00.
Testimonies, 2023
Testimonies is a research-based intervention into secrecy, power, and institutional control.
Legal testimonies are turned into immutable artifacts, forcing accountability through the permanence of NFTs.
It’s not an attack on faith - but a confrontation with what happens when the untouchable is put on display.
Pink Border, 2024
Pink Border is a provocation: meaningless art in a meaningless humanitarian crisis.
A pink toilet, split by the Israeli–West Bank border, becomes a symbol of absurdity and disrupted daily life.
The work highlights the tragic irony of division - where even the most basic human needs are fractured by conflict.
Art of the People, 2025
Art of the People: everyday objects smuggled into elite art spaces to mock their authority.
From a slice of bread to a used condom, it satirizes value, taste, and the art world’s gatekeeping.
By going viral, it democratizes art—letting people on social media decide what deserves to hang in a museum.
