"The DAOWO Global Initiative asked groups of artists, curators and thinkers from Berlin, Hong Kong, Johannesburg and Minsk to design new prototypes to address key questions about the potential of blockchain to replace outmoded models, decentralise power structures and rewire the arts. The objective of these experiments is to test how a DAO would live in the art world and be used by its communities, members, users. Could they stimulate solidarity? Give rise to new forms of partnership? Incentivise new models of governance?
