Decentralized Futures was a design exhibition by Baltan Laboratories, shown at Koelhuis District Eindhoven furing Dutch Design Week 2024:
Decentralized Futures exhibition explores the creative possibilities of blockchain and NFTs in digital art. Showcasing the work of eight international artists, the exhibition delves into the future of decentralized technologies and their impact on the art market. Emerging from the ARTeCHÓ project, co-funded by the EU, the works highlight how NFTs provide uniqueness to digital creations and move beyond traditional frameworks. The exhibition examines themes of decentralization, redistribution, and new modes of socio-political organization, offering a glimpse into how these technologies could help shape a more equitable and inclusive future.
