Black Swan DAO was presented by Penny Rafferty during Is the future of public art online? as part of the Assembly online event series. The case study, written by Freelance Curator Chloe Hodge, looks at the framework for Black Swan DAO, a digital initiative which channels resources from established institutions to cultural practitioners via a membership programme. Black Swan DAO was developed as a collective project with a shared space in Berlin and an online community of 300 members comprising artists, designers, technologists and ecologists working with advanced technologies and experimental theories.
