Josie Bellini - Fed Monkey Series

Fed Monkey Series is a body of work that serves as a timestamp for our current political and economic climate. It is meant to showcase the complete loss of control by the Federal Reserve and provide us with a solution to these issues. This solution allows the people to take back control and gain independence from our broken and oppressive system.

At the completion of each artwork, the current block height of bitcoin is inscribed somewhere in the piece. 21 physical prints of each work will be produced in addition to the 21 NFTs.

“Everything’s Fine” is the second piece in the Fed Monkey Series. It displays the Fed Monkey trying to solve deep rooted systemic issues in our financial system by printing obscene amounts of money to bail out the 1%. While the money is being printed, the lie is being repeated by politicians, bankers and media: "Everything's Fine." We are captured in a system of their design where the people have no power.

Above the building's entrance, the true mission statement of the Fed is shown. “Federal Reserve - Private Banking For The 1%”. Also, a $100 dollar bill waves in place of the American flag, showing who is really in charge. The reality is that our current system will fail and we are going to need a solution.

As the system begins to break down we are left with a clear alternative. The skies begin to clear and the foundations of a new system begin to form. This is not a system governed by the few in order to have control over the many, but a system governed by all for all. "Everything's Fine" glows bright as truth becomes clear and the changes take root, giving us hope for a more just world. Opt out and join the revolution.
