ABOUT 1500LABS

 

Founded by two visual artists, Debora Hirsch and Martin Giménez Larralde, 1500labs is a digital art lab that exposes a transformation of luxury and temporal objects into enigmatic or symbolic forms, generating unique NFTs through a process of instant rarefaction.

Hirsch and Larralde met while being editors of the artist-run magazine, E Il Topo. E Il Topo magazine is distributed in book shops and museums in Europe and US including Printed Matter, Inc. in New York, and Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The artists also collaborated in some exhibitions and performances including ‘Mussels’ at the Rob Pruitt’s flea market in Venice and ‘Fateful Space’ in Acts of Sedition at White Box, New York. 

In 2022, they created 1500labs to operate on the Web3 and took their first steps into the world of cryptoart. NFTs allowed the artists to expand their research and have a relationship with a broader, different and exciting audience.
