CRYPTO CASINO BY LEON KEER IN DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS
Public Art Event
Client: Life is Beautiful Festival
Location: Downtown Las Vegas, NV
Artist: Leon Keer
Service: Concept, Curation, Development and Production
Invited by curator group Justkids, the pop-surrealist artist Leon Keer from The Netherlands brought his 3D magic to Downtown Las Vegas with Crypto Casino. Inspired by the Las Vegas' gamester scene and “play big, win big” attitude, the world-renowned artist created a two side jackpot view in East Ogden Avenue of a larger-than-life slot machine. This double-banger was created exclusively for the Life is Beautiful Festival, although the local community and its visitors can still enjoy it long after the fun is over.
The illusion is bluffing, and so is the crypto gambling for the artist who said “Cryptos are rapidly emerging into the mainstream. You can go all in, but without recognizing its risks, Crypto’s can become an addictive gambling product”. - Leon Keer
