Computation, Consciousness, and Collective Memory
The Field by Beervanger
Rooted in the Latin “collēctīvus,” the word “collective” represents the notion of togetherness, a gathering of individuals, and a shared experience. This ethos forms the heart of “Collēctīvus: Computation, Consciousness, and Collective Memory,” an exhibition that unfolds the power of collective curation. These seven projects, selected from a range of artworks released on the Art Blocks platform over the past year, use computation as a medium to explore ideas of collective unconscious, the personal and universal concept of memory, and the interplay of natural and digital forms.

Collēctīvus
Through collective participation, community members will “like” their favorite tokens in the Collēctīvus: Computation, Consciousness, and Collective Memory Deca gallery from each project that community members themselves have made available to loan for display. The most-liked mints from each project will become part of the exhibition, embodying the collective ideals of our vibrant ecosystem of creators and collectors. This democratic approach forms a time capsule, capturing the collective preferences and tastes of this specific moment in time.
Here's how you can participate in the collective curation process:

Create an Account on Deca: To participate, you'll first need an account on Deca.
Browse and Vote: After logging in, you'll be able to browse through a selection of tokens from the selected projects in Collēctīvus: Computation, Consciousness, and Collective Memory. You can vote for as many tokens as you want from each collection. Remember, each "like" counts as a vote, and you can only vote for each token once.
Fair Play and Transparency: We're looking closely for any suspicious activity and will address any issues swiftly. Just a reminder: votes for tokens may already be displayed on the platform, but we've reset these counts to zero internally to ensure a fair start when public voting begins.
Voting Period: Voting opens on July 20th and closes on July 27th. During this period, let your preferences be heard, and vote for your favorite mints from each project.
Exhibition Selection: Once voting ends, the final selection will consist of each collection's 3-6 most liked mints. These will be the pieces that will grace the exhibition, reflecting the collective voice of our community.
Exhibition Update: After voting closes, we will update the gallery to showcase the selected works.
