About the exhibition
An exhibition curated by SuperRare Director of Curation An Rong (@anloremi) in collaboration with The Doomed DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) dedicated to the collection, promotion, and long-term stewardship of digital artworks by XCOPY, one of the most influential and respected pioneers of the crypto art movement.
The phrase “Tech Won’t Save Us” is both a warning and a statement of truth. It captures the paradox that lies at the heart of XCOPY’s practice: the tension between the promise of technology and the inevitability of its failure. In a cultural moment where blockchain speaks the language of permanence, and where innovation is often mistaken for salvation, XCOPY insists on reminding us of entropy. His work embodies fragility, glitch, and decay, reminding us that no technological system. No code, no contract, no network can ultimately protect us from collapse, mortality, or alienation.
“Tech Won’t Save Us” is thus less a resignation than a call to responsibility. Technology cannot carry the weight of permanence alone. But together through community, care, and continuity perhaps we can.
