Overview
Provenance Tracking is a blockchain powered tagging solution developed by LuxTag for Poesy Liang. It utilizes the NEM Blockchain Technology, offering smart contracts and multi-signature features. The project has the purpose of recording the provenance history of every piece of art.
The second project will be an online shop, debuting with the inaugural series of “Fly Me To The Moon Harry Putterâ€. These print editions are available for purchase, exclusively accepting the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and XEM. The 120 authorized print editions sold in this online shop will be authenticated by unique identiï¬ers. This blockchain project is the solution to the counterfeit of artwork.
LuxTag protects authenticity, ownership, and the origin of products since 2016. In 2017, LuxTag decided to sub-brand itself to better service different sectors, one of which is the art industry. The technology company is currently servicing other industries such as fashion, jewelry, education, and documents.
Interdisciplinary artist & humanitarian Poesy Liang is an innovator in the art world. She ï¬rst became interested in blockchain in 2014 and started accepting Bitcoin as a payment in 2015.

A big part of my practice is concerned about recording history and LuxTag is able to deliver.â€
