The Blockchain underpins digital currencies and makes possible dramatic new conceptions of global governance and economy, that could permanently enrich or demote the role of humans - depending on who you talk to. This exhibition presented by Furtherfield features artworks that envision future world-making by machines, markets and natural processes, free from interference by states and other human institutions. Artists Jaya Klara Brekke, Pete Gomes, Rob Myers, Primavera De Filippi of O’Khaos, Terra0, Lina Theodorou and xfx (aka Ami Clarke) imagine a world in which responsibility for many aspects of life (reproduction, decision-making, organisation, nurture, stewardship) have been mechanised and automated. Deferred to the blockchain. Artworks include a self-owning forest with ideas of expansion, a self-replicating android flower, a tale of lost innocence, a DIY money making rig, a Hippocratic Oath for software developers and a five minute marriage contract. +More info about the exhibition <http://crm.furtherfield.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1074&qid=143526> +Download PR <http://crm.furtherfield.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1076&qid=143526> +Download Exhibition Catalogue <http://crm.furtherfield.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1077&qid=143526> EVENTS, ACTIVITIES, WORKSHOPS & WEDDINGS Manpowertop <http://crm.furtherfield.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1086&qid=143526> - free workshop by Network Diagnostics Saturday 10 June, 2-5pm – Furtherfield Commons <http://crm.furtherfield.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1078&qid=143526> Join Network Diagnostics (Dave Young and Niall Docherty) to discover how the promotional media of Silicon Valley companies envision the role of technology in society.
