Thank you! > Am wondering whether etherium in itself, both as used in code - as > an object of an exchange algorithm - and as being a commercialy > developed "platform", is not an object as well..? The contracts (programs and data) that exist within the presumably anarcho-capitalist worldview of Ethereum are the objects I'm contrasting with the objects of the artworld. That doesn't involve considering Ethereum itself as an object, I guess I'm treating it more as a context? But I think treating it as an object opens up some really interesting and useful critical possibilities. > If etherium is an object, is there not a sort of dramatic > tension/connection between the etherium object and its coded > art-linked objects? Yes I hope there's a tension here, I'd like there to be a mutual critique. I have some contracts that (claim they) are art in themselves, or store or generate art, but there's another very large class of art that requires digital proxies or identifiers. I wrote about some of this for Furtherfield: http://furtherfield.org/features/articles/abc-accelerationist-blockchain-critique > (eg are these objects not always umbilicaly linked to the etherium > "parent-ship" object?) Hummm.. I like the idea of art objects beaming down from the blockchain mothership. :-) This relates to the question of which historical and non-perceptual properties of an art object are aesthetically relevant in its reception. > Not sure how relevant these questions are for the process, Rob - > and apologies if they are utterly nothing-todo-with.. However, the > code does seem to offer a contemplation regarding objects in link > with art.. I'm certainly trying to play with the ontology of art and techno-capital under various ideologies. I hadn't considered this on the level that you're suggesting, and it opens things up. So thank you! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJT1FCQAAoJECciMUAZd2dZsfQH/A77DMVOtpZA+E1K0PQJPOXg gvWNLFzzmpxS9SI0g0z/j7a4LOY0TL1lcKXpI/ZO64cETq89q1LmTzduS3gRJdvY WTi2fqmMD7Ga2BkxybHui0Wqrxnc/Cvud512wa0J/Dd4LtIGZAy8mXVY4O+ejf0m wMZ/MCk32HEZCp/nWHogwotyOKMWcjzMIaWGALfx3V/3w9YFfKpH+z7d+WhpbMxm SpWVzRAMoREPH6FYglWaqi/LUX19IjBBQd0ejuqd9XxsGKwFR1P5tw2AJouoYaBg 6Tac2+5RcfhpiKzlkaY1aHUZoIbghL/hZMn976mHXX37XuB+OL9sizAbnUgu9ak= =XywF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
