Presentation by Maxime Faget. Hosted by Sarah Joy Lynch.

Venues and events are gradually moving towards cashless payment methods, which may offer certain affordances and benefits that are often overlooked. Could changes in payment infrastructure help foster trust, transparency, and agency at cultural events? With initial applications at SeaNaps, Les siestes électroniques, and TodaysArt, Blockchain My Art posits a payment solution for festivals and events.

“The music circuit is still too opaque: artists or cultural workers struggle to make a living, although audiences have never consumed as much cultural material as today. Money is spent and not always received.” Addressing such questions asked throughout the music ecosystem, Maxime Faget presents Blockchain My Art as a means of countering these challenges.
