Entangled Transparency 3.0

Digitization processes mean upheavals on a global scale and changes to
the political world order. This brings about a raft of questions. To get
to the bottom of these, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe,
Hyundai Art Lab and Goethe-Institut Korea, are hosting the conference
Entangled Transparency 3.0 on March 9, 2023. Participation in the
conference is free of charge. It will take place *online*. The goal is
to find answers to questions such as: What kind of organization
processes are necessary in order to maintain online self-determination
and sovereignty? What does blockchain technology mean for artistic
production, outreach, and their infrastructures?
Together with the climate crisis, advances in information technology
constitute the biggest challenges of our times, both of which are
happening rapidly, on a global scale, and trigger queries: What forms of
governance and social organization are conceivable against this backdrop
of complex restructuring? Climate change and sovereignty are both hybrid
constructs, embedded in social and ecological contexts. Sovereignty,
whether national or personal, whether a matter of geopolitics or
self-determination, must be constantly renegotiated to find a balance,
and is therefore reliant on the free flow of information. At present,
however, the instrument by which we stay connected across national
borders is controlled by a few corporations and functions like an
absolute monarchy. By contrast, Web 3.0 promises a blockchain-based
solution for a decentralized and federated internet.
Ever since the hype around NFTs (non-fungible tokens) peaked in 2021,
blockchain technology has become a hot topic— even though it was first
used back in 2014. Together with Hyundai Artlab and the Goethe-Institut
Korea, ZKM | Karlsruhe is organizing the online conference “Entangled
Transparency 3.0” to open a discussion on the possible social and
cultural implications of a potential blockchain-based network. The
conference will pose questions about transparency, its contradictions,
challenges and risks within a new kind of Web from a cultural
perspective. In addition, the impact of blockchain-based technologies on
art institutions will also be raised. Together with international
practitioners, artists, researchers, and theorists, ZKM | Karlsruhe and
its project partners are initiating a dialogue about alternatives to Web
2.0 that is currently in use.
After the introduction of the common.garden platform by its founder,
Constant Dullaart, two keynotes Bogna Konior and Maurice Benayoun will
touch upon specific theories of the internet. Manifesto performances on
Web 3.0’s relation to transparency by the artists, researchers, and
collectives, Jaya Klara Brekke, Crypton, Primavera De Filippi, Sarah
Friend, Kyriaki Goni, Operator, Bhavisha Panchia, and Bi Xin follow.
While the curators and art practitioners, Ruth Catlow, Michael Connor,
Sabine Himmelsbach, Yannick Hofmann, Chuang Wei Tzu, and Hyunjung Woo
will elaborate on the potential role of Web 3.0 in art institutions and
museums. The final discussion among the participants will be moderated
by Michael Connor.
As an exemplary Web 3.0 prototype, an endless poem inspired by Peter
Weibel accompanies the discussion program. The artistic-scientific
chairman and CEO of the ZKM | Karlsruhe will start the collaborative
online text, which will then be continued by anyone who wants to
participate. This interactive artwork will be available in a digital
exhibition, along with other contributions via the link et3.common.garden.
The event is curated and organized by Lívia Nolasco-Rózsás and Clara
Runge (ZKM | Karlsruhe) together with Hyundai Artlab and Goethe-Institut
Korea.
