Blockchain as an Art Medium | Joey Orr

How can artwork be the blockchain itself?

Joey Orr runs the Integrated Arts Research Initiative at the Spencer Museum of Art.  He commissioned leading artists Stephanie Dinkins and Simon Denny to explore the emergence of blockchain technology in collaboration with science and humanities researchers at The University of Kansas.

They are pushing to think about issues of diversity, equity, access and inclusion through the lens of consensus. Will integrating blockchain into artwork challenge prevailing thought on control or ownership? Can it support communities with a new kind of trust? 

Tickle your brain with the possibilities for this project.
