If you haven't seen this yet, we created a new video for this set of banknotes. The video also shows a peek of what it has been like working in the studio. On the surface, Memebank is a in a fun, easy-to-understand project. Dig beneath the surface and you will realise we are addressing a more serious and complex issue of inflation with the current modes of banking. I didn't understand much about our banking system, and always thought that the goal was to work hard, save up and deposit what I have earned... until I learned more about finance and banking from a group of technologists and economists here in KL. So I wanted to create art that could educate others but in a fun, easily-understandable way.
