Obscura Town Hall Community Update with Obscura Team _____________________________________ Farewell to Toad October 2021 - March 2022 Adios Amigo Obscura Early Adopter

Tony Herrera and Mona Kuhn join us on 2/22/2022 to speak about the formation of ObscuraDAO, building community for lens-based artists, and the current exhibition of NFTs on billboards in Los Angeles that "blurs the lines between the tangible and the digital." NFTuesday is made possible by the generous support of Kenetic Capital and Quantum, organized by Ever Gold [Projects] and Medusa Collection, and directed by Cody Edison.

Vellum LA's proof of attendance for the first solo show ever by a “decentralized autonomous artist, governed by the people.” Botto is an algorithm that produces work based on feedback from a community of surrounding stakeholders. The Decentralized Unicists brings this (literally) digital-born artist into a physical gallery setting—extending the social experiment initiated by the Botto community. In this act, Botto becomes an emissary artist from the future, revealing how the new modes by which art, emerging technologies, and society might interact in the years (or days) to come.

You are on Native land. The lands that you occupy used to be cared for entirely by Indigenous Peoples. The land, and resources it provides, was stolen in many ways. Acknowledging that the land used to be cared for by the ancestors of the Indigenous Peoples who are here today, who have endured historical traumas and continue to struggle for self determination, is just the first step. We urge you to go beyond recognizing the history that led you to be on the land you inhabit. Take action. Help Indigenous Peoples in the fight to protect the land because we are not just on it, we are part of it. The fight will continue until the Indigenous Peoples get the Land Back.

“To the teachers who believed in us, to the students who show up for us, to the artists who have come before us, and finally, to the many who have yet to come. Because of what we did today, it is all but certain.” - Andrew Wang Thank you for joining the OhhShiny Show
