Iconoplasm X Live Trap' unites lain Ball's earliest experimental artworks from 2007-2009; these 1/1 NFTs curate his initial forays into public interventions, object arrangements, and synthetic/bodily/organic substances (e.g. semen, Prozac, painkillers, toilet cleaner, food colouring, dead slow worms, alcohol).
Ball probes intense emotional turmoil, anxiety, alienation, heartbreak, crisis, confusion, consumer detritus, household products, disorder, chaos, and the collapse of art, life, meaning, documentation, and capitalism—by repurposing objects, time, waste, and energy into novel production and context. Canonical pieces: Oxide13, repeatedly driving 130 miles round-trip to a motorway service station, tethered to jars of tequila and octopi; and Those Men In Fruit / A SILENT Tremble (2009), paying five men to sit silently for two hours in a hired conference room wearing 3D glasses.
