Everybody an impresario

The Australian Art Orchestra is selling shares in its new show “1988” (opens July) in a JV with Uni Melbourne’s School of Computing and Information Systems

That’s a literal share, a “non-fungible token” representing a unit of data on a blockchain, which can be kept and trade. It’s a new way to collect music and artworks, in this case “a one-off AV piece” from the show, by Dung Nguyen with a visual design by Phuong Ngo. Apparently, it’s “an exciting step in transforming how audience share and consume art and music.”   (Scroll down for the blockchain as accounting, not art.)
