Open to artists of all disciplines and levels of experience, this course offers an exploration of open source art practice through collective archives, free-to-use OS tools, and decentralized platforms, to create and publish collaborative sound and audiovisual works onchain.
Presented by Soundial and led by interdisciplinary artist Lani Trock, participants will build a collective audiovisual archive, and then work with open source software like Vimix, a live video mixing environment, and platforms like Nina, a music publishing protocol and Zora, a multimedia publishing protocol, to release audiovisual projects on the blockchain. These platforms are examples of onchain publishing, where digital works are recorded directly onto blockchain networks, which allows artists to embed collaborative splits and manage revenue sharing, providing cooperative ownership, verifiable provenance, and non-extractive alternative funding models.
Through a combination of lectures and weekly assignments, participants will create sound collages and audiovisual artifacts while exploring how decentralized tools can change the way we work together. In our second week, on 3.21.25, visiting sound artist Maral will lead a session on their sampling techniques. In the following week, Lani will offer an introduction to Vimix, an open-source live video mixing tool. Both sessions will incorporate artifacts from the class’s shared audiovisual archive created during week one. The homework from each class will involve publishing our creations to decentralized platforms.
We will also engage in group discussions on topics such as open source art practice, deep listening, collaborative ownership, retroactive funding models, and how decentralized platforms can support artists' work in both digital and physical spaces.
Participants will publish their work on Nina and Zora, culminating in a final showcase. We’ll also look at the ethics and possibilities for honoring the sources of sampling through onchain splits, and compare these approaches with traditional art and music industry models.

HAGOMEL OFFERS FREE VIRTUAL EXPRESSIVE ARTS WORKSHOPS TO L.A. WILDFIRE SURVIVORS
HaGomel Community is offering eight weeks of free virtual workshops for adult survivors of the recent Los Angeles wildfires. Healing Through Creative Practices is scheduled to happen on Zoom Saturdays, Feb. 22 - April 12, 9:30-10:30 a.m. The series will be facilitated by Social-Emotional-Arts certified and trauma-healing poet Kate Burns, in partnership with Anastasia Knight, Master’s of Art Therapy and Counseling.??
HaGomel’s Healing Through Creative Practices workshops were created with the intention to hold space for the difficult emotions that arise in the aftermath of such widespread devastation. Participants will be guided to explore the different stages of grief they may be experiencing, and encouraged to approach their emotions, thoughts and feelings with greater compassion, grace and acceptance.
These workshops have been designed to require minimal materials, in most cases, nothing more than paper and a pen or pencil. Artistic or creative backgrounds are not necessary. All that is needed is a willingness to show up honestly, authentically, and with the self-compassion needed to start a healing journey.
Each workshop will be unique, and registration is open for the individual dates on Eventbrite. Public registration link: https://tinyurl.com/ypfh3h93
