Launch Event
LAS Art Foundation presents terra0: Autonomous Forest. A living work of art and a new techno-legal entity that reimagines ecological regeneration through collective, blockchain-based ownership.
On the occasion of Berlin Science Week, LAS Art Foundation presents terra0: Autonomous Forest, a multifaceted artwork that rethinks land ownership through blockchain-based governance.
The launch event starts with a presentation of Autonomous Forest by Paul Seidler and Paul Kolling in conversation with Barbara Cueto followed by a panel discussion on Collective Ownership and the Future of Art in Web3 with Mo El Sayed (Head of Brand Development and Curator at Ledger) and Kate Brown (Senior Editor at Artnet News).
terra0’s presentation of Autonomous Forest will explain the project’s goal and functioning, delving into the processes behind the Verein/DAO structure. The conversation will continue by positioning the project in a wider framework, analysing their theory of regeneration through art historical, ecological and political perspectives. The panel explores how Web3 technologies enable new forms of collective ownership and ecological stewardship. The project’s self-governing forest challenges conventional notions of property, authorship, and institutional responsibility by using blockchain to distribute agency among humans, machines, and the environment.
The discussion examines how decentralised systems such as DAOs and tokens can reshape governance, value, and care within the art-tech ecosystem. What responsibilities and modes of care arise when artworks, collections, or infrastructures are co-owned?
Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
