Ruth Cathlow’s definition of the artist role in her book Artists Re:thinking the Blockchain:
“Artists are good in mediating abstractions for our perceptions through play, open exploration and supposition. They can tolerate, even relish, extended encounters with difference, contradiction, muddle and slippage between symbolic and material possibilities without rushing to usefulness or simplicity. They have a kitbag of methods and processes for revealing the practical affordances and animal spirit of a subject, medium or technology. They know that a way to get to know something that does’n yet exist is to collaborate with its possibilities and to do something/anything with it or about it. And by doing so, they materialize and shape what it will be, allowing many other people to access, approach and reach out to it with different parts of themselves:”

  • I am very intrigued by the blockchain and NFT art trend and would love to learn more in order to bring more dance to the NFT realm. 

    I invest in crypto BTC and ETH as a side hobby when I’m not running a university dance program ;) and would love to be able to learn the skills to bridge these worlds and bring dance into the future with blockchain technology. I reached out to our IT department to start a collaboration and they thought I was insane…didn’t quite know what I was talking about. Cheers to you for bringing the future to us.

  • I am very interested in this topic as well, this has been on my mind for the past months. Dance-technology in the digital world with new possibilities of how we manage, share and criculate economy with the art that we do.
