A DAO FOR
LIVE ART
THE SPHERE is an emergent network of radical theorists, artists and technologists exploring new ecologies of funding the arts. We are building web3-based regenerative commons in which artists, audiences, collectors and other stakeholders of the creative ecosystem come together to share the joy, risks and opportunities of making art.
We advocate for a shift away from traditional intellectual property frameworks. We love to experiment with LARPs and other extended GAMES OF COLLABORATION, drawing emphasis on questions of co-ownership, interdependence and belonging beyond extractivist mechanics.
