Seth Indigo Carnes and Alfred Steiner, members of the TXT collective, will participate in a panel discussion moderated by Christian Rattemeyer exploring their recently developed Artist’s Contract for Decentralized Art (ACDA), an open-source legal agreement for use in the transfer of decentralized art. The ACDA addresses persistent inequities in the art world, particularly artists' lack of control over the use of their work and participation in its economics after they no longer own it. It also addresses the advent of decentralized, blockchain ledger technology, cryptocurrency, and digital certificates of authenticity that automate and ease the tracking of provenance for a given artwork. Artists, collectors and art-enthusiasts are encouraged to attend and participate.

About the Artists 

TXT is a nomadic collective creating decentralized art, poetry, happenings and web3 praxis. During winter 2025, they were in residence as part of Arts & Rec at OSMOS Station in Stamford, NY, a program directed by Christian Rattemeyer.
