Ipse Dixit

In this episode, Sam Hart, a researcher, organizer, and curator working in various capacities at the Interchain Foundation and Other Internet, discusses the development of the blockchain as a medium for conceptual art and his role as an article, curator, and theorist in that space. Hart begins by describing his background in technology and conceptual art, and how his interest in blockchain developed in relation to the Occupy Wall Street movement. He reflects on how blockchain helps enable new forms of organizations, including "decentralized autonomous organizations" or DAOs. He discusses the early history of blockchain art, including his own work in that space. And he reflects on the future of the space. Hart is on Twitter at @hxrts.
