“I anticipate that the legacy museum and gallery system will also increasingly have an ‘audience’ problem as the younger generations will demand digital and social experiences around art,” he said. The team is already exploring the possibility of a wing with Aavegotchi - an asset-backed NFT project with a cultlike following.īell ultimately believes these collaborative, experimental efforts are why virtual museums will continue to flourish while meatspace collections flounder. Projects with strong cultures and followings will be able to tell their stories in their own terms, and experiment with governance parameters specific to their collection. Partner projects will also be invited to sponsor and curate their own museum wings. “Create an objective reality, an immutable reality from many opinions.” “We want to conserve the early history of the crypto are space in an immutable way,”said Reniel. If the MoCA ever lends out art, the museums receiving it will be required to include these labels as part of the art. While the specifics are still in the planning stages, the team is plotting a reputation-based system which takes into consideration attendance at events, attention spent on the art, and MOCA token holdings to grant users the ability to write the history of the pieces in the collection - community-managed museum blurbs. Reneil, a tech and strategy lead at MoCA, noted that the blockchain can be used to permanently record how a community reacts to art, and not just the art itself. While the appraisal system will start out with semi-centralized committees, the MOCA token will eventually be used to enable permanent, decentralized criticism and curation. “How do we paint the beautiful picture here, and how do we leverage the early, global creators to do that?” Community Critics Early NFT artists and collectors worked within these notions as artists sought to express them in their own terms - an “organic” and “collaborative” effort. Ultimately Bell wants to move away from narratives about crypto being used for drugs, and instead highlight art that represents the highest ideals of the space: Ethereum as an open market access system, enabling freedom of identity, privacy, and data sovereignty. “There’s been enough wealth generation in this community, that there’s no chance, broadly, that people will let this project fail.” I want to make sure it’s captured there,” said Bell.

In an interview with Cointelegraph, MoCA co-founder Colborn Bell said that the museum has highlighted seven solo artist shows via an incubator program, and he hopes that with expanded resources the MoCA foundation can become a commons for artists to help define NFT standards and institute policies like mandatory royalties on secondary sales - part of a wider effort to use the museum and its art to better define the crypto space.

MoCA, which is free to visit in virtual reality via Somnium Space, has had success in the past in fostering and showcasing cryptoart culture. 5% of the total MOCA supply will be airdropped to wallets that collected on Opensea prior to December 2020, and another 5% will be available via a liquidity mining program.
