Commons•Art
Commons•Art, in its own words, “endeavors to make funding and organizing artistic activities more horizontal, care-taking based, and in favor of collectivity.”
Co-initiated by Yin Aiwen and Binna Choi, Commons•Art is a platform that aims to facilitate and support the creative and social caretaking of art as a way of generating new commons, achieving this through decentralized technology and care-based practices. It also intends to offer artworks or art projects with a set of toolkits and support mechanisms for their use and maintenance. By sharing authorship as much as by increasing the social and affective value of art, Commons•Art aspires to contribute to an art economy that is no longer closed and short-term, but instead opens up to society at large—perhaps even effecting change in our social fabric and in our everyday lives.
