The Globo is a universal currency. A fusion of the legal tender of over twenty five countries, the Globo evokes a vision of world unity and progress, while simultaneously suggesting the ever-increasing reach of corporate globalization. The bills are distributed in the real-world economy, sparking disbelief and debate among those who receive them. As a result, The Globo is also an intervention into the culture at large. The Globo summons up the abstraction that underlies all money, and emphasizes the need to transform the stark inequalities of a globalized labor force. |
