For the 6th episode of Art in Permacrisis, we talk to Inte Gloerich. Inte is a critical media and technology researcher, and a colleague at the Institute of Network Cultures. She is one of the core people behind the research community MoneyLab. Inte also just finished a PhD on feminist blockchain imaginaries. We discuss blockchain beyond the hype, and beyond the wish to get rich fast. How can it be a tool for radical imagination and decentralised autonomous organising in the arts? We discuss concepts and dilemma’s, but mainly dive into case studies like Dayra, Black Swan DAO, Circles, The Sphere, and CultureStake. What works? What doesn’t work? How? And why?

Art in Permacrisis is a podcast on the organization of art workers in the face of the ever-growing stack of crises. It is hosted by Sepp Eckenhaussen with tech support by Tommaso Campagna. This episode was edited by Salome Berdzenishvili.
