Ayshia Taskin

Ayshia Taskin is an art collector based in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the United Kingdom. She has studied art in West College Scotland, Edinburgh College of Art, The University of Edinburgh, and Glasgow Clyde College. Through art curation, she explores how the elements of performance art initiate an environment ripe for collaboration, human connections, participation, and self-reflection. Combining all these aspects allows her to perceive how performative arts fit into the blockchain. Taskin’s most outstanding contribution to the art industry includes developing the concept of Cypro-Futurism. She explores the infusion of technology with art alongside food, ethnography, liminality, comparative mythology, and ancient religion. She remains an artist at heart and therefore uses her free time to work on solo projects. Some of her most publicized works include “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘌𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴,” “𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴,” and 𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘥-𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺-𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳. Ayshia started making NFT drops on the KnownOrigin platform in the Summer of 2021. Some of her wee-performing drops include the ones titled “Aurum,” “this is a performance,” “The FluxBox,” and “Metaworks.”
