Round 2 / DWeb for Creators

Decentralized Web (DWeb) for Creators empowers next-generation artists, archivists, gallerists, and other cultural workers with the knowledge and tools necessary for creating on the decentralized web. From curation to publishing, community building, and data privacy this new online course provides the necessary background, skills, and support to adopt decentralized technology into every creative practice.

Artists and Cultural Producers are vital to shaping the future of the DWeb movement, but targeting materials for on-boarding from the beginner level are in short supply. This curriculum and the synchronous courses based on it provide a unique and engaging means to broaden the community of DWeb users to adjacent communities within institutions and other cultural organizations. From blockchain and data sovereignty, governance, and everything in between, the DWeb for Creators online course helps artists, archivists, and other culture workers apply the principles of decentralized technologies into every aspect of their practice. This curriculum offers theoretical frameworks, perspectives, tools, and other resources to students. The open-access distribution of this material is intended to provide a foundation for the creation and preservation of many groundbreaking artworks and creative interventions that will serve as genre-defining examples for other creators as well as engage the public and institutions involved in exhibiting and preserving DWeb projects.
