After much hype and the global ‘tokenize everything’ attitudes of recent months, what’s left to discuss concerning NFTs? Moving on from common misconceptions regarding electricity usage and rampant tech bro portrayals of a ‘future artworld’, this panel seeks to further examine practical use-cases from ‘crypto art’ aesthetics and culture, and its underlying set of technologies that is now driving ever more platform-capitalist centralisation as well as a thriving new ‘creative’ underground with a Web3 fetish. What affordances do the technologies under discussion provide when concepts such as ‘proxy contracts’, ‘liquidity pool mining’ and ‘bonding curve sale’ mechanisms enter the vocabulary and (NFT-)toolkits of artistic practice, and to what end do such concepts sustainably manifest themselves in an aesthetic preoccupied with financialization and networked performance metrics? A panel with Eric Barry Drasin, Fabio Morreale, and Alex Smith, moderated by Walter Langelaar. _ The Token-conditional Social. Communities have always experimented with new forms of exchange, such as issuing their own currencies outside of governments and banks, to take ownership of and strive for environmental, ethical, economic, and social outcomes that are meaningful to them. Today we are seeing increasing momentum behind Web3 (or decentralised web), bringing grassroots community organising into direct contact with blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and digital tokens. As a result, initiatives such as timebanks, mutual credit networks, local currencies, and others are grappling with these technological possibilities and their impacts on value exchange, data governance, and community structures. Against this evolving technological backdrop, there is a need to reevaluate and explore community-level meanings of governance, identity, permanence, trust, and fairness. This panel brings together Helen Dew, Mark Pascall, Robert Kirkby, and Dmitriy Ageyev, moderated by Jennifer Ferreira. _ Māori/Indigenous Self-Sovereign Identity, and other protocol. As our nearing post-COVID realities pose yet another critical turn and opportunity for national governments to propose/impose far reaching implementation of technical infrastructure, in order to facilitate ideas surrounding ‘vaccine passports’ and further tokenised identity management (such as SSI), we are increasingly confronted with narrow and decontextualised notions of ‘autonomy’ and ‘sovereignty’ originating from the (blockchain/DLT) startup/tech sector. This panel brings together a group of researchers and practitioners working in the periphery of initiatives such as Te Mana Raraunga – Māori Data Sovereignty Network, and elaborates an indigenous world view on cultural engagement strategies through sociotechnical protocol and Tikanga Māori, to share its practice across various projects for further knowledge transference and discussion. The panel includes Kevin Shedlock, Kaye-Maree Dunn, Billie Lythberg, Mile Thompson, and Steve Reeves, moderated by Songyi Lee. _ MONEYLAB COMMUNITY CALL-IN: Across the Timezones with confirmed presentations by: Molly Mullen on the Disruptive Technologies and Value Co-creation in the Arts research group at Auckland University Joshua Vial from Enspiral Dev Academy on the recently founded (Wellington-based) Crypto Coding Club Pedro Victor Brandão on the Acerola Fund, dedicated to acquisition of non-fungible tokens created by artists in the global south. ++ more TBA !
