Seminar: Kelani Nichole Presents On Transfer Data Trust

​TRANSFER Data Trust is a decentralized artist-owned archive and cooperative value exchange network. Our mission is to maintain artworks in perpetuity, ensuring their preservation and access across generations. 

​The Data Cooperative manages and grows the value of digital assets by leveraging smart contracts and decentralized storage. Backed by a network of specialists, the emergent care model offers a new approach to media art valuation, conservation and governance.

TRANSFER and our artists built this vision together through generosity and collaboration for over a decade. Inspired by 'Exit to Community', our artists are taking back control of their data. The model gives creators agency to own and preserve their cultural legacy without depending on traditional institutions or big tech. This is not a platform – it's a culture stack for cooperative data stewardship.
