MotionDAO: As a Rhyzome
@marlonbarriossolano

The writing the MotionDAO reports and monthly requests are becoming a kind of Rhizomatic Journaling in from different time-space scale of a distributed organism. MotionDAO is a rhizome and I attempt to translate multi-dimensional interactions in a linear narrative. I find myself writing about the strong roots and visible beautiful branches; the network is invisible yet pulsating. The process is rhizomatic. Imagine millions of interactions.
From Wikipedia:
A rhizome is a concept in post-structuralism describing a nonlinear network that “connects any point to any other point”.[1] It appears in the work of French theorists Deleuze and Guattari, who used the term in their book A Thousand Plateaus to refer to networks that establish “connections between semiotic chains, organizations of power, and circumstances relative to the arts, sciences and social struggles” with no apparent order or coherency.[2] A rhizome is purely a network of multiplicities that are not arborescent (e.g. the idea of hypertext in literary theory)[3] with properties similar to lattices.[4] Deleuze referred to it as extending from his concept of an “image of thought”.
These are images of thoughts in motion.
MotionDAO is an umbrella for many online projects, creating art/we3 research collaborations among and impacting geographic hubs such as Germany, Colombia, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France…
MotionDAO is a project in itself, envisioning managing and implementing a transition from web2 to web3 frameworks, knowhow and platforms of a large community of dance-tech.net. The web2 version with social network architectures grew to more than 12000 since 2010. The web3 version is also growing strong roots and branches and the activities planned for May 2022 are:
-
Onboarding new members from dance-tech and movimiento.org to MotionDAO.
-
Supporting current MotionDAO members and geographic hubs in Web3 adventures.
-
Liaise with other NEAR guilds program, guide MotionDAO members on current procedures.
-
Research NEAR dapps that can be used by MotionDAO and its activities, test them and connect to existing user communities.
-
Collaboration with Kernel and other Web3 organizations
-
Implement council rotation and onboard members as council
-
Compile and format reports, proposals.
-
Start a collaboration with MutiDAO and Marma J DAO on DAOs and DeFi@ NEAR

The educational hub of MotionDAO continues its activities in May, as members receive invitations to teach (UK, Belgium, Canada, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina)
For this month the plan is to:
-
organize and publish internally a library of slides that can be used in the classes. It will contain several slides that can be adapted to different class time and topics desired. The slides will cover the topics: introduction to blockchain, validation technologies (proof of work & stake) tokens, FTs, DeFI, NFTs, use cases, DAOs, decentralized structures and governance models.
-
create a template for digital proof of attendance NFT certificates to be given at each class, and a how-to guide on the process
-
design practical exercises for classes in the form of DAO bounties that can be completed by the students in order to get hands on experience with NFTs and DAOs among other topics
-
have a reserve fund to pay instructors and co-teachers for their teaching hours
-
have a reserve fund for onboarding neardrops given to students and for bounty payouts
Funds Asked : $800 USD

Virtual workshop “Creative Programming for Dance on the Web.3” (May-June 2022)
The Workshop consists of approaching creative programming for dance through the Isadora visual programming language and its projection on the new Web.3. It is aimed at dancers,
choreographers, directors, set designers and any artist or student related to dance, but it is also open to practitioners of the performing arts, visual artists and musicians, among others, in order to form an interdisciplinary group.
Isadora allows you to process image and sound in real time interactively in relation to the performer, the environment or any other data source. Using Skype, OBS, Isadora, and YouTube during the workshop, a real-time virtual performance will be created that will be used as a source material for minting NFTs.
Instructor Aníbal Zorrilla. May-June 2022. Duration: four virtual classes of three hours. Quota of 15 participants.
Course agenda: Introduction to the NEAR protocol and installation of the participants’ wallets. Cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Blockchain and smart contracts. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO). Dance-tech.net and Motion DAO. Isadora Software. General configuration of the software and its connection with microphones and video cameras. scene structure. Workspace: actors, scene, control tools. Types of image processing in real time. Processing of image and video files. Captured image processing in real time. sound processing. Interaction through sound. Interaction through movement tracking. Automation tools and event sequencing. Shaders in GLSL. Tokenization of artistic creations through NFT in the NEAR protocol.
The workshop is the first of the dance and technology workshops that are in the proposal of the Agentina Node: Nodo Argentina
The ArgentinaHUB of Motion DAO is a space aimed at facilitating the realization of performative works that include the art of movement and use interactive digital technology for the processing of image and sound in real time, through formative, artistic and communicational actions. It is based on 11 continuous years of workshops, residencies, exhibitions and participation in works of the InTAD group, http://intad.tech/, https://intad1.wordpress.com/, formed by professors of the National University of the Arts and directed by Aníbal Zorrilla. It consists of the creation of a collaborative economy network through the adoption of the NEAR blockchain as a medium of exchange for goods and services and belonging to Motion DAO, which after a sufficient initial investment during 2022 generates a number of economically sustainable events in the traditional art market and in the new field of the crypto economy. All the proposed activities include the creation of wallets for the participants, the introduction to Blockchain, DAOs and the Near protocol, as well as tokenization through NFT.

NY3DXRHub (New York)

Ok here in NY we are gearing to device a system for enrolling in classes and wallet creation using NFTs. This system will hopefully easy the way to get new members and create an easy way for promoting the events/classes of the MotionDao. Mariana and Victor will work towards getting this system ready with the help of Lenara and possibly 3l Lobo for the coding part of things.
On the XR front, Victor is still hard at work developing the project Rapid Transit, which apart from being a new form of storytelling using “spanglish” it is a research on ways to generate NFTs in runtime using the user’s movement data.
Lastly, we will start onboarding new Members from NY!
