Decentralized Futures
Join us for an evening at the intersection of emerging technology and artistic inquiry. Decentralized Futures brings together artists, curators, critics, and cultural theorists to explore how decentralized systems are reshaping creative practice, authorship, and collective imagination.
Hosted by the Columbia DSL in collaboration with the Solana Foundation, the event invites participants into a dynamic space of speculation, experimentation, and critique. Through conversation, provocation, and performative exchange, we’ll examine how blockchain, generative AI, and participatory frameworks can both challenge and expand traditional models of cultural production.
This gathering is part of an ongoing new series of conversations, dinners, hackathons and prototyping sessions. Together, we ask: What might the future of art look like when it is co-created, decentralized, and ever in flux?
