Open Source Art; Collaborative Experiments in Onchain Publishing
#workshop
#artseducation
#digital
#education
#musicians
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. Schedule: Friday, March 7, 2025, 1:00pm–3:00pm ET Friday, March 21, 2025, 1:00pm–3:00pm ET Friday, March 28, 2025, 1:00pm–3:00pm ET Friday, April 4, 2025, 1:00pm–3:00pm ET For more info and tickets: https://withfriends.co/event/22877720/open_source_art_collaborative_experiments_in_onchain_publishing
