其實我不關心元宇宙和NFT
昨日在杭州西戲參加了一場座談,到了現場才知道被設計成藝術掛vs技術掛的辯論場。在塞車的路上我確實想了一下能表達的,但也只能臨場發揮了。雖然題目邏輯與命名都太快了,不清晰也很難有真正的辯論,但與會者還是很積極說點什麼。活動海報不知現場的紀錄事後是否會露出,我在這裡留下原本想講的東西。 一、NFT是一個無法擁有產權的收據,一種書籤,一張畫作上的敲章行為,一種金融遊戲的選擇權。NFT不僅只能做藝術買賣記錄而已,如Vitalik說的想想Defi之外的事情更重要,世界會更大。現在市場上所謂的”加密藝術”其實與加密沒關係,是否藝術則見仁見智。用什麼工具創作是一回事,而作為藝術類型或風格是另一回事。 二、網絡上的泡沫並不陌生,千禧年的泡沫化之後,2004年後有了FB和twitter, 將人們從內容的創造者變成帳戶,2008年金融危機後合作社力量重新復活,如這篇經典文章的看法:另類經濟崛起,挑戰了國家的政治─經濟權力。之後airbnb和uber興起,扭曲了共享共乘,成為共享經濟的惡夢。接著,零工經濟(gig economy)成為現實,卻美其名自主工作、斜槓青年,創意工作者,總的來說就是國家社會全...
NFT,公共領域的發行人
本來是為了與Mask合作,能夠發展出另外一套針對出版體系的NFT計畫,我在十幾分內寫了思考許久的想法。最後在程序和構想的交媾,現實的考量下,如今有了第一版本的 Sparklink.io , 歷史文件於此,發布在這裡希望引起更多人的參與討論,也希望大家可以去測試一下,提出修改意見。作者、出版社、讀者的困境作者一般版稅介在7%-11%,除非你是暢銷作家,否則版稅盈餘很難支持你正常生活,各種付費牆的寫作平台如medium, substack, reuve, 台灣的方格子,香港的matters, 中國的知乎,微信公眾號支持與付費號,除了少數本來在媒體與文化圈已有知名度的作家外,鮮少有人能夠真正獨立寫作而活,特別是一本書的寫作而非短文。除了商業出版、政府補助、科研經費、商業平台重籌與付費牆外,有沒有另一種出路? 出版社要找作家甚至培育作家、負擔編輯、美術設計、商業洽談等費用,承擔風險,而發行到各平台書點則費用高達書價的40-60%,還非現金支付,扣除版稅,每本書的盈餘有限。而書在流通過程中更涉及了審查、回收,盜版等危機,和z-book和無產階級圖書館等公共書庫是仇敵而非朋友,更有許多人在k...

时间:2021年11月27日-28日 地点:杨浦区长阳路1568号19号楼(线下,地铁宁国路站附近); zoom会议及直播(线上地址即将公布) 主办:中国美术学院跨媒体艺术学院 网络社会研究所 协办:Mask Network, Nervos Network, MetaDao.
技术哲学告诉我们:人是技术的产物,世界是技术的产物,我们无法找到不谈技术而能创造真正不同生活的可能。然而,自然资源的转化是物理的、熵化的,而自然资源转化的目的则是人类中心的,想像人控制技术,或者技术控制人都是歹托邦式的幻想,我们总是在技术生产的物质条件中生产社会关系,反之亦然。
过往五届网络社会年会,我们与全球学者们积极探询、质疑与批评数字生活带来种种改变。今年,网络社会研究所與不同的组织进行三项”互助”的实验计划,是我们五年来接轨全球技术条件,反思自身实践,落地中国的特殊的网络社会构造而有的尝试。这些都与区块链底层技术,加密经济、数位傳播密切相关,更是人们希望的未来生活。
区块链是信息交换的信任技术,却非目的,犹若高铁,你可以快速方便到达任何城市,但你需要有个目的地,目的就是一种”希望的技术”,是人类与技术时刻互惠(instantly reciprocal)的决定性瞬间。这个瞬间可以是即时交易,也可以是时刻互惠。如果我们要赋予”基进”新的意涵,那就是赋予此种时刻涌现的希望技术条件。这种时刻,对十九世纪初的莫斯科工人来说,是从工厂下班回家途中大声唱歌回家而开始认同彼此的时刻;是1817年英国罗伯特欧文在他的大工厂里决定开办幼儿与职业教育倡议合作经济的时刻;是1844年的28位工人为了解决凑足了28英镑决定先开设粮食杂货店(消费合作社)的时刻;是1968年学生运动写下”禁止一切禁止”的时刻;是1970-73年智利阿连德政府创造的实时经济信息网络(cybersyn)的时刻。当前,由区块链技术所带动的NFT与元宇宙发展的时刻似乎尚未到来,但我们的参与与创造将使之实现。
中国美术学院网络社会研究所欲的乃是这个时刻的涌现。第六届网络社会年会从空间营造与复现、艺术知识传播与新的合作经济系统三个实践来打造此种希望技术。在区块链愿景加速迈向金融化而只有金融化的当下,贡献基进时刻的分秒是紧急任务。由是,今年我们改变了往年国际会议形式,不再是国内外专家学者的主题演讲,改为邀请历来网络社会年会的老朋友与新朋友们,来参与并批评我们的当前的工作,这是一场頓悟的嘉年华,也是时刻互惠的现场与未来。
這是一場有關區塊鏈、NFT以及元宇宙的學術派對,詳細的年會議程與參與方式,請查閱 https://www.caa-ins.org/archives/8017
THREE academic panel, ONE live-sound party, ONE blockchain market, ONE preservation of historic township and exhibition on Metaverse.
Time: 2021/11/27-2021/11/28 Venue: Building No.19, 1568 Changyang Rd., Yangpu District, Shanghai.(offline); Zoom and Stream(online). Host: Institute of Network Society, School of Intermedia Art, China Academy of Art Co-organizer: Mask Network, Nervos Network, MetaDao.
According to some technological philosophical ideas, If humans and even the whole world are nothing but consequences of technologies, it is hard to make revolutions without it being concerned. However,physically speaking, consuming natural resources increases the entropy of the place where humans live, leading to nothing but anthropocentrism. Similarly, either to control technologies or being controlled by technologies lead to nothing but dystopia. After all, the physical materials used to produce our technologies are used to produce our social relations as well.
The last 5 annual conferences of network society assessed revolutions and changes happening in our digital lives with scholars all around the world. They witnessed our efforts to make a critique of global innovative technologies as well as the structure of network society in China, to review the former practices made by our institute, and finally, it makes us launch 3 blockchain based social reciprocity experiments about “technology of hope” this year.
In these experiments, blockchain becomes technology, rather than purpose, of information exchanging based on trusts. We all know that without travellers’ destinations, the high-speed rail network brings no efficiency. In this case, the destination is a “technology of hope”. With the help of it, there comes a decisive moment when the high-speed rails technologies become instantly reciprocated for passengers. Similar moments happened a few times before. Perhaps to the workers living in Moscow at the beginning of the 19th century, the moment happened when they sang together on their way home and felt like a union, or when Robert Owen set out to open the school for children and workers, developed a cooperative economy system in his factory, in 1817. It could also happened when 28 workers pooled 1 pound per person, opened their grocery store(as an early consumer co-operative) with 28 pounds in 1844,later known as the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers;and when student protesters wrote the “It is forbidden to forbid” in the May 68,or, it could happen in 1970-1973,when Chile government launched “Cybersyn” project during the presidency of Salvado Allende.
Spreading knowledge of art and architecture under an innovative co-operative economy, the Institute of Network Society, China Academy of Art, is now producing another technology of hope, making another moment happen. The sixth Annual Conference of Network Society includes no longer keynote speeches based on specific keywords, but comments and questions given and raised to our social reciprocity experiments. Here we sincerely invite all the people interested in our projects to join this two-day conference, sharing the moments you are making and the technologies they are based on, letting the conference become a festival of instant reciprocity where people instantly inspire each other.
