Artists Re:thinking the Blockchain
Edited by Ruth Catlow, Marc Garrett, Nathan Jones, and Sam Skinner

The blockchain is widely heralded as the new internet - another 
dimension in an ever-faster, ever-more-powerful interlocking of ideas, 
actions and values. Principally the blockchain is a ledger distributed 
across a large array of machines that enables digital ownership and 
exchange without a central administering body. Within the arts it has 
profound implications as both a means of organising and distributing 
material, and as a new subject and medium for artistic exploration. This 
landmark publication brings together a diverse array of artists and 
researchers engaged with the blockchain, unpacking, critiquing and 
marking the arrival of it on the cultural landscape for a broad 
readership across the arts and humanities.
