V&A DIGITAL FUTURES: MONEY NO OBJECT (part 4)
About: This session will be a currency prototyping brainstorm, where we will explore whether a currency or alternative exchange system might be developed for and by a distributed network of artists to support and promote experimental, open and free practices (on the understanding that anyone might call themselves an artist).
