A community curated piece exploring the idea that some decentralised social media posts are artworks.

Digital art in web3 is transcendent; not the mere pixels, but the profound societal shift that is happening through the new technologies and the structures web3 is enabling.

I am proposing that the act of casting (writing words and publishing them) on a decentralised protocol is a work of art in its own right. If we view the action of casting from the perspective of an artistic statement, taking part in this open web of immutable digital connections is powerful.

The protocol as a whole is radical, and then some of the casts (320 character text messages, with links to further content) are then profound in their own right.

However we present these transformative casts in the same way as all the other disposable content - we fail to imbue them with power and effect. We fail to present them as sacred objects.

This piece - made within the /cocreated community - starts to ask the question 'how to make casts sacred objects' ones that are bigger then themselves, that enable us to glimpse something larger through them?

The artwork displays casts as works of art, rather than as a social media scroll.

Created as an HTML piece, the casts are laid out generatively according to a set of instructions. Some cast appear in every token, others less frequently.

The concept is able to transport us into new ways of seeing & thinking, to open up new perspectives, to perhaps be building an additional dimension of thought. The interweaving ideas that casting causes, & the questions it is asking of us about the nature of our society, our communities, our relationships are profound.
