The Transplant project is a way to extend the workings of the coil contract via the altering art economy. The goal is to deposit the high art object into a proletariat realm. What this would entail is figuring the average net worth of the top one hundred art collectors at point A in time and then figuring what the average purchasing price is per art object within this pool. The resulting figures would be used as a pricing standard to be applied to the chosen (Proletariat purchaser) based on their income/net worth. The idea is to take an art object from a high economic level and place it within a lower economic level. The coil contract attached to the object would bury the object for a substantial amount of time, conceivably an average life span. When the art object is resurrected upon the death of the purchaser, the outcome in regards to the altering of the financial state of the heirs as well as the impact to the economic state within the proletariat realm is the core of this project.
