On November 29, Justin Sun held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong with the theme "Justin Sun Wins the World's Most Expensive Banana: Reshaping the Boundaries of Art and Crypto Culture".
A week earlier, Justin Sun acquired Maurizio Cattelan's iconic work "Comedian" - a banana - for $6.2 million (approximately RMB 44.839 million). After winning the bid for the banana, he stated: "This is not only a work of art, but also a cultural phenomenon that connects art, meme culture, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this work will inspire more reflection and discussion in the future and become a part of history. I am honored to be the proud owner of this banana, and I look forward to it bringing more inspiration and influence to art lovers around the world."
At the press conference, Justin Sun shared his "3 10-second experiences" after acquiring the "Comedian" banana. The first 10 seconds, he felt it was a bit unreal, but he was also happy to have acquired this work of art; the second 10 seconds, he immediately received interview invitations from several well-known American media; the third 10 seconds, he wanted to hold a press conference to eat the banana a week later.
He even asked a question on ChatGPT: "I am Justin Sun, how do you view my bidding for the 'Comedian' banana?" ChatGPT replied: "This event has become the number one traffic generator for human creation in the 21st century."
Under the gaze of the audience, Justin Sun tore the tape off the white wall and ate the "world's most expensive" $6.2 million banana. Later, during the Q&A session, a MetaEra reporter asked: After the physical work of art, the banana, has been eaten, what actions will you take to continue the vitality of this work of art?
Justin Sun replied: The banana on the tape has already become an interesting event in human culture and art history. I also want to see how people will view this banana in ten years, and I believe that with the passage of time, there will be better developments.
Justin Sun also elaborated that the banana artwork has high commemorative significance, and he believes that the concept of decentralization has great advantages in art exhibitions, such as transportation, approval, and insurance. He feels that decentralized artworks can be assembled and displayed at will, not limited by geography, and have the charm of transcending national borders and boundaries.
