An artistic rule decides what each print costs. No market. No auction house. No collector. A rule. Since 1 January 1993.

Three strands, inseparable.

Time forms part of the material. Each print carries its date as part of itself — not as a stamp on top.

The price is determined, not negotiated. It does not respond to demand. It follows a rule.

The system is the work. The prints are its manifestations — it runs whether anyone buys or not.

No date — no unique price. No rule — no system. No system — just another print.

Every day gets a print. An edition number. A price.

The price rises by one unit per day — in ATS since 1993, in Euro since 2002. It rises today. It rose yesterday. It will rise tomorrow. No inflation. No devaluation. No exceptions.

And even when no one buys, the rule keeps running. The system does not wait for the market. It takes no breaks, does not retire, does not negotiate.

Every day since 1 January 1993 has its exact price. In ATS and in Euro. Down to the cent. Without exception, without rounding, without a single skipped day.

Not a pyramid scheme. In a pyramid scheme, early buyers profit at the expense of later ones. Here, every buyer pays exactly the price of their day — no more, no less. The only thing that grows is time.

Not a money fetish. Other Money-Art works take the banknote itself — fold it, paint over it, destroy it. On a HoC print, no money appears. No banknote. No coin. No currency symbol. On the contrary: the HoC print makes the price transparent — calculable, rule-based, readable to anyone. No secret. No magic. No mystification.

Not an NFT. An NFT depends on a blockchain. No platform, no NFT. A HoC print lives on hemp paper. You can touch it, hang it, pass it on. 500 to 1,000 years — guaranteed by the material, not by the network. And: an NFT can be minted at any time, in any quantity, by anyone. A HoC print is one per day. The scarcity arises not from an edition limit, but from time.

Conceptual art has long worked with time — On Kawara painted dates, Hanne Darboven filled rooms with calculations, Tehching Hsieh punched a clock every hour for a year. Money Art continues that line and adds one element: the price, set by a rule rather than a market. The question is not what the right price is, but who decides it. Two artists made the rule — Eugen Kment draws, Christopher Temt built the system. A third figure completes the work later: the buyer who gives a day its meaning.

Because it lasts.

The first draft of the American Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. The Gutenberg Bible. Early Qurans. Medieval manuscripts that have survived a thousand years — and are still legible.

Modern wood-pulp paper yellows and crumbles within decades. Hemp paper lasts 500 to 1,000 years. You can begin a tradition.

A print created today will still be here five centuries from now.
