The blockchain is widely heralded as the new Internet - another dimension in an
ever-faster, ever-more-powerful interlocking of ideas, actions and values.
Principally the blockchain is a ledger distributed across a large array of
machines that enables digital ownership and exchange without a central
administering body. Within the arts it has profound implications as both a
means of organising and distributing material, and as a new subject and medium
for artistic exploration. This landmark publication will bring together a
diverse array of artists and researchers engaged with the blockchain,
unpacking, critiquing and marking the arrival of it on the cultural landscape
for a broad readership across the arts and humanities.
