Description

Free the Land aims to challenge the current property ownership framework as well as emancipate land, houses, forests, and more for the benefit or interests of all humans and non-humans. As George Monbiot rightly said, “The current pattern of the ownership and control of land lies at the heart of many of our big dysfunctions - the collapse of wildlife and ecosystems, exclusion and marginalisation of many people, the lack of housing and public space in many cities.” What if we could imagine and prototype a system in which we cannot freely transform wealth into power? What if money doesn’t necessarily translate into a right to own natural wealth? We need to move beyond the reductive, utilitarian relationship with the world and recognise the interrelationship among all things and beings. This is a contract between you and the world. It’s a promise to support the self-ownership of all civic and natural assets and not to extract, deplete, and instrumentalise them in any way. When you buy the artwork, you also sign the contract with the world. The artwork is an experiment of a more comprehensive project which aims to emancipate land for real through crowdsourcing sites, purchasing, emancipating, and stewarding land through legal and technological approaches in an open way. If you are interested in learning together, participating in land acquisition, writing smart contracts, exploring innovative and ethical governance models, deliberating on the use of the land for civic purposes, and being part of the action group, please join the Free the Land Discord: https://discord.gg/dFuufbBr44 Free the Land 作品在挑戰當現有的產權框架，旨在解放土地、房屋、森林等，以造福於所有人類與非人類。正如 George Monbiot 所說：「從野生動物和生態系統的崩壞、排他與邊緣化，到許多城市的居住和公共空間的缺乏，目前土地所有權和控制土地的方式，正是上述這些問題的核心。」我們可以想像、形塑一個我們不能隨意地將財富轉化為權力的系統，或者金錢不一定可以轉為擁有自然資產的權利。我們需要意識到與萬事萬物之間的相互依存，避免過於簡化、功利的關係。這個作品，是你與萬事萬物之間的契約，承諾並支持自然資產的解放，不以任何方式壓榨、耗損、和利用他們。當你購買藝術品時，你也與世界簽訂了契約。（購買作品的行為，就是簽署契約的行為，這個契約會綁著你的錢包地址，完成數位簽章。）視覺上，土地漸漸被填滿，象徵著隨著契約的簽訂，他們一塊、一塊被解放。這件作品是一個初期的實驗，未來會希望更進一步發展，讓土地、房子、森林等自然資產「擁有自己」，把土地所有權轉移到土地本身，因此再也無法被炒作、開採、破壞，這挑戰了以人類為中心的價值觀，進而把土地視為「公民」，有「權利」也有「義務」，並且這些權利、義務可以被寫在智能合約中去執行。希望未來能透過法規創新與科技應用，在真實世界中解放土地。如果你有興趣一起學習、參與找地、編寫智能合約、探索創新的治理模式、與土地共好，以及成為行動的一員，歡迎加入 Free the Land Discord: https://discord.gg/dFuufbBr44
