Here is a post on our reariting session with Brian Droitcour, Ruth Catlow, Gretta Louw, Daniel Temkin and Annie Abrahams. Because I, Annie, felt Myers & Wark‘s conversation contained a lot of interesting points that I didn’t really understand, I organized a reariting* of its publication on OUTLAND. I was/am struggling to comprehend issues around NFT’s, chains and DAO’s, and hoped reariting the conversation would clear up my mind. It worked, I *learned *a lot.
