E.A.T__WORKS partners with Art Blocks during NFT NYC to open up possibilities for NFT artworks ‘Beyond The Wallet’.

Join us for an evening of thought-provoking conversation and art installations. E.A.T__WORKS and Art Blocks are partnering on an immersive installation and salon at Betaworks in the Meatpacking district on Friday, April 14th from 7-9PM

‘Systems Madness’ from Claudia Hart and Andrew Blanton is a conceptual artwork that extends beyond the screen. Collectors can interact with the work minted on Art Blocks Presents, and they can also access a set of instructions for how to install the artwork in just a few clicks as an interactive projection-mapped wallpaper at home.

During NFT NYC collectors can preview this installation inside Betaworks and load their mints into the exhibition for a demo of the BTW format.

Salon Program – Artists, curators and collectors from Art Blocks and E.A.T__WORKS are invited to attend a speakeasy-style salon session for matchmaking and conversation. This evening gathering features artists from E.A.T__ ‘opening the studio’ to share their work-in-progress:

  • LoVid in conversation with Michael Connor about 💖sleeves
  • Claudia Hart & Andrew Blanton in conversation about Systems Madness
  • Peter Burr and David Tennent demo Scattered Limbs
  • Networks of Care: A Decentralized Provocation -- is there an ethical imperative to “caring” for art on-chain? How should artists, curators, patrons and stewards encode means of preservation, exhibition, and production onto the blockchain? What does care mean in the context of digital assets, and is such “rigorous devotion” at odds with the speed, immediacy, reach, and volatility of the NFT market? Provocation Leads: Erick Calderon, Kelani Nichole, Mad Pinney, Muriel Quancard, Pete Molick

2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
The History and Future of Software as Tools for Thinking
Some of the earliest examples of software explored by pioneers like Doug Engelbart, JCR Licklider, Alan Turing, and others were at their core technologies that help magnify, inspect, and spread our ideas.

Esther Dyson and Jerry Michalski, will discuss the idea of how people work together to shape, compare, intertwine and ultimately produce multi-faceted ideas and multi-dimensional idea spaces.  As David Waltz (Thinking Machines) once said, “Words are not in themselves carriers of meaning, but merely pointers to shared understanding.” Watch and lob questions as the two of them try to build and share the idea of how better ideas can be developed through collaboration.

Q+A
