In this episode I spoke with Paul Seidler (@brachlandberlin), a member of the Terra0 artist collective. Terra0 has been around since 2016 when it released a whitepaper outlining how a technologically enhanced forest combine with blockchain could own itself and exert autonomy. Since then the collective has organized several exhibitions exploring this theme including Flowertokens, an experiment with tokenization and verification of natural commodities, and an early attempt at creating a combined crypto-collectible physical asset in 2018.
During the interview we talk about how Paul’s thinking has evolved with Terra0’s experience with various art installations, dystopian sci-fi, and Regenerative Finance. We also discuss how DAOs could be a trojan horse for introducing employee ownership into the economy.
