Polymorphic Futures

The Web Residencies Call No. 21, curated by Barbara Cueto, invites artists to explore how blockchains can become engines of collective imagination and social transformation for »Polymorphic Futures.« Moving beyond financial speculation, these polymorphic machines are able to shape new forms of belonging, governance, and care – infrastructures for generative rather than extractive futures. This call looks for proposals that experiment with the social, aesthetic, and political potentials of blockchain as a medium for world-building, and imagine how tokens might signify solidarity, how DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) might nurture communities, and how technology might serve emancipation over accumulation.
