Hello Creatives! :blush:

How nice of us to create a space for this presentation. First, I apologize for my English - I am learning.

Let’s go: I am Gabriela Abreu, I am Aquarian, Brazilian and a creator of things. I create poetry, have two published books and a poetic podcast with over 80k plays on Spotify. I also produce and present Sarau Delas, a poetry and music event that happens in Portugal and is a success! Besides that, I am a journalist, copywriter, cultural producer and script writer. I am also available for working partnerships, always in my native language, Portuguese.

I met the NEAR ecosystem in October (2021), when I participated in the artistic residency Planta a Palavra, produced by MUTI DAO. Besides being a transforming experience, it opened doors for me to this new universe. As I consider myself an action person, I decided to create the CRIATURA&BERI DAO with a friend and develop my own projects. I have a great contact with many creative people (singers, producers, poets, painters… we are already a community, so I thought it was a great idea!) and it is very good to be able to think of projects together. It is being a very fun and educational experience to deepen my knowledge about the universe of web3 and crypto world.

Hi, friends. I am a philosopher, professor, nft and traditional artist, and also a metaverse entrepreneur. I am in crypto world since the beginning of 2021, and I found NEAR around october of that year. Metaverse DAO is the only DAO in the Creatives Council from which I am a member. I am also a member from The Philosophers DAO, which is not in the Creatives Council.

  • Twitter: @__Philosopher (there is an underscore in the end that does not appear here)
  • Total votes cast: 249 + XX + YY + ZZ
    → Metaverse DAO 224 + The Philosophers DAO 11 + Community 14 + Gambiarra DAO XX + Writers Guild YY + Spiritual DAO ZZ (not in these last daos anymore)
  • Wallet: thephilosopher.near

Highlighted achievements:

  • Founding member of Metaverse DAO, The Philosophers DAO, Gambiarra DAO, and Writers Guild. Former council member from Spiritual DAO, Writers Guild, and Gambiarra DAO. Member now only from Metaverse DAO and The Philosophers DAO, on Astrodao.
  • Metaverse DAO as a successful case of building and keeping metaverse history: more than 183 historical NFTs minted in our historical store, with interviews with metaverse near people, metaverse events produced by NEAR, and NEAR Metaverse Magazines.
  • Metacoin token creation and development together with the team on Metaverse DAO.
  • Events on metaverse which I organized for Mintbase. Also metaverse events organized for Afrika Burn and for Metaverse DAO itself.
  • The Philosophers DAO as a initial case where we are onboarding PhD Professors and students into NEAR, and producing creative blockchain products from philosophy. Our intention is to bring these professors to NFT community as collectors and minters.
  • Near Alexandria (under construction): a near library on Voxels metaverse for academic and literature books being built by my team under a near grant. If we are allowed, we are going to use the library to officially publish books on NEAR blockchain, with ISBN. We intend to partner with Incubadora DAO, Writers Guild, and The Philosophers DAO.
  • Gambiarra DAO as a successful case of onboarding artists into NEAR community: I left Gambiarra DAO with 170 members in the store (from which 100 were onboarded directly or indirectly by me, whom I also helped to mint NFTs on Mintbase), and more than 10 people in the DAO. I thank here Mintbase DAO, who funded all of these onboardings.
  • Collaborations already happened between (1) Metaverse DAO and VanDAO, Kalakendra DAO, Gambiarra DAO; (2) and between Gambiarra DAO and Mintbase DAO.

Hi creatives, I’m L.

I started this nft tour because of games in mid-2020 and I evolved and experimented with platforms as an artistic movement of disappearance and invisibility. I’ve been at Nearverse since February 5, 2022. I joined FEMINU onboarding and then I’ve been exploring the possibilities of Near beyond the sale of works of art. I use the forum mainly to learn, understand how community processes work, meet people and participate in opportunities such as open call and bounties. During this time I was actively participating in several initiatives. Gambiarra, Nomade Label, INA, Marma J, 3xr, Incubadora, FEMINU, Mintbase, Octopode, Spiritual, The Clan… Some of the DAOs that I was able to collaborate with in some way although I am not part of any council board.

We at MUTHA were in the process of organizing our DAO but we are awaiting the development of new positions on funding and such. I confess I’m still a little confused by this, specifically, since taking very seriously about the function and the real need that a DAO can fulfill in a community.

I remain attentive, nice to meet you all.
And let’s go!

Hey there! Thank you for your contributions.

Partner, it is important to mention the following:

Being a council member is to have voting rights, so you are not a former council, but still a council,

I mean: you are still part of the Council board even when the voting group where you are is called: Members.

Do you think this quote is good enough, @FritzWorm? I can change it. Look now if it is better, friend.

One more thing, just to be clear: members group has a different weight inside DAO’s votings. While council members can decide with the majority of council members achieved, general members can only decide when the majority of all members is achieved. So I have voting power (which I did not use it for this time being), but I do not have council voting power for now.

Yes there can be several groups with diferent names and different voting power, doesnt need to be named council either.

Still:
The definition we have for council is someone with voting power in the DAO. You have a voting power, no matter the weight, you have it.
@creativesdao-council @Cryptonaut @williamx @blusw @kc_sollano @Paul

To elaborate further with an example:

Your community can have 800 members in the Telegram group, those are members.

And there could be 10 of those with voting power in the DAO, those are councils.

Then we can said that the DAO is formed by 10 members… yes. And those members are the councils in the definition we have, by having voting power.

The point is, you have voting power there, you are a member of the community but also a member of the DAO, there should be a distinction and that is knowing that you are not a former council, you are a council (voting power)

I understand your point. So I believe that, by your definition, I became a council now. Nevertheless, for the months required, I was not in that group, neither acting like council, neither taking any decisions.

Hellow, my name is BeetleJuice <3

I’m a 39 years old Brazilian designer, educator, artist, RPG player and mother <3

I work in a Brazilian metaverse (liveplanet.com.br); studying for my master degree (With RPG on the topic of research) in ESDI/UERJ (Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial da Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro); I graduate and postgraduate in PUC-Rio (Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro), there i studied visual communication and service design.

I only use free software to do my work. It was a political decision I took in 2006 and remains to this day. I’m passionate by decentralization and autonomy because they are the center of all I believe: anarchy; feminism; education; RPG; the way for a better and fair world.

My astrological sign and rising sign is Pisces.

I entered Web3 in 2021 creating NFTs. I arrived in NEAR Protocol at November 2021 working in the diagramming of NEAR Metaverse Magazine (a Metaverse DAO’s project).

I have helped create and develop Spiritual DAO since its beginning. And already be KYC of it.

I helped with some bureaucratic stuff in The Philosophers DAO, because they were new.

I’m trying to bring some people to Near Protocol and on-boarded 5 people until now.

I’m starting the Dice DAO where the main subject it’s one of my biggest passions: RPG (we aren’t in AstroDAO yet, we want to settle down first <3)

Beside the council work I did arts for DAOs social media, the 6 existing numbers of the NEAR Metaverse Magazine; events and a lot of NFTs.

I’m really passionate about projects and study the subject a lot connecting the knowledge with service design.

I have 2 dogs (Jack and Thrull); 1 daughter, 1 son. I’m a bookbinder and a certified dog rehabilitator (like Cesar Milan, lol). I already made a lot of organizing courses.

You can see all my social medias, resume and portfolio in this link:

(a lot of stuff is in Portuguese)

My wallet is beetle-juice.near and my cast votes (until the moment of this publication) is:

Metaverse DAO 117 votes

The Philosophers DAO 23 votes

Spiritual DAO 82 votes

Dice DAO Not in Astrodao yet

I’m here to clear any possible doubts, and help if anyone need (and I have the skill for it)

Be in the Journey <3

Hi! My name is Christa aka Gemini Rising,
I am a founding council member of INA DAO
Also council member of VanDAO and EDU Creatives
And, I have recently started a new DAO called LP DAO.

I have been in the Web3 space since 2019, mostly creating art NFTs. I have personal accounts on Known Origin, Rarible, Async Art, Mintbase and Paras. I also have a parcel in Voxels and have been building for others in that space since 2021.

I got interested in the NEAR protocol after reading their White Paper in late 2020. I really liked the idea of clean NFTs and in particular the importance of communities. I started out on Mintbase when they were still building on ETH and continued with them on their journey with NEAR.

In January, I somehow fell into the council of INA DAO and have been active ever since in the realm of DAOs and communities on NEAR.

This quote, for me, is the most essential thing regarding creatives. I believe that not only is the Creatives DAO relevant, but THE most important thing of all. Creatives are the backbone of everything in this space and truthfully the backbone of the world.

Although artists are probably the most underpaid professionals in the world, the world would not exist without them. We as artists need financial support in the kind of world that exists. During the Renaissance artists were supported by rich patrons. Imagine a world without DaVinci or Michaelangelo. They did not have metrics or proof that their art had financial value, they just received support from those rich and appreciative enough to give it.

[Art is uniquely positioned to move people—inspiring us, inciting new questions and provoking curiosity, excitement, and outrage.

Artists can strengthen the will and push people to act. They do not think like policymakers or academics people.

Artists think from their heart – big, revolutionary, and visionary ideas.

This is why artists are able to move people to action, thus creates a significant cultural and political contributions.

This is what makes art powerful.

What I like most about the NEAR ecosystem is the fact that they are supporting artists, just like those patrons during the Renaissance. Not only that, but they are supporting artists from developing countries, that would ordinarily not have the resources to hone their skills and create. Nowhere else have I seen this, not on the Ethereum blockchain, not on the Tezos blockchain, not on the BNB blockchain. This support for the artistic community is what drew me to NEAR in the first place. I think it is a mistake to discount the importance of the Creatives community. We are VERY important!

If we are to implement metrics regarding this DAO, it should be in regards to how many pieces of art created and how many new artists we have onboarded onto NEAR.

My Brief Biography:
My name is Juliano Santos do Carmo, I am Professor of Philosophy, Neuroscience and Logic at the Federal University of Pelotas (a city in the south of Brazil). All my university education was in Philosophy (undergraduate, masters and doctorate). I have been working at the Federal University of Pelotas since 2011, where I have been developing innovative projects such as NEPFIL online (an electronic book publisher with more than 100 published books), LAPEMAA (Laboratory for Research in Massive and Open Education), I created two courses in the distance learning at UFPel (one undergraduate and one graduate) which together have trained more than six hundred students. I held many international events (with speakers from several countries). I am currently the coordinator of three international cooperation projects with the universities UNED/Madrid, UNISS/Italy (Erasmus Mundus+) and EM/Mozambique and I am a researcher in an international consortium of interdisciplinary researchers on human and non-human normativity. I am the author of many papers and have published several books on Philosophy and related topics. I’ve always loved technology and now I’m very happy to have met NEAR and its incredible possibilities. I have learned a lot from The Philosophers DAO (especially with the approval of our first Funding Proposal for the month of May, as it allowed us to introduce NEAR and blockchain to many people through our seminars), I also thank the DAO Incubator for the partnerships that we are creating and I hope to be able to continue contributing to the growth of the NEAR ecosystem.

Hello everyone my name is ZON. I was born in Brooklyn New York before i moved to Augusta Ga, where i now live at the age of 14. I am a creative and an initiator. I create 2D art and 3D art and have recently started calling myself an Art Director. I love to move the needle and continue to support the community. I started in Crypto 2016. Join NFTs 2020 and created HYPE BATTLE (Which is still going on) in 2021. In the late November of 2020 is where I first discovered NFTS during the pandemic. Having Sickle Cell anemia i couldnt get a regular 9-5 job so i had to create something and that was the start of Hype Battle through the Hype Dao. I late left Hype Dao to pursue my own dreams and that is where i created ZON-Verse. ZON-Verse is going to be a centralized hub for comic creates and writers to come and create something bigger than themselves over time.

Hi All,

I’m going to start this by quoting Nuno Jardim Nunes - Computer Scientist at Technico in Lisboa. During his recent talk at Sonar Festival Lisboa he said “art makes science palatable”. Not many people are interested in reading whitepapers and academic papers and if we rely on that for adoption we will be waiting for a long time and i really do concur with him. The Creatives DAO is arguably the most powerful adoption/marketing tool of this ecosystem because art makes crypto - a science - palatable. Furthermore, Near is an inflationary asset - around 4% if i’m right - with an uncapped supply which means if it stops growing it will probably slowly collapse. I’ve not looked into precise numbers but i would not be surprised if the Creative DAO was and still is the most effective growth vertical of the ecosystem generating the most active wallets. Active wallets are probably a key metric here given that we are talking about metrics. Creating 5000 wallets a month is not going to be of any use to anyone if they are not actively used right? Subsequently if the foundation is to let go of the Creatives DAO, again i would not be surprised if this project does not make it through this bear market. On other news, a troubled struggling community will also be a great disincentive for Venture Capitalists so they will probably stop investing which will get us close to a death spiral scenario experienced by Terra recently. I’m probably pushing the metaphor here but you get my point right? Funding cuts and the politics of austerity have never really served their purpose and this is especially relevant for a project that is if i’m not mistaken inclusive, politically and ethically left leaning. As to data science, i’m not sure we have really figured out the science behind it as it is up to anyone to read anything into data. Not long ago and i mean a few decades, cigarettes and milk were advertised as the best thing for us and here we are now talking about how terrible they are for us.

I’m talking here on behalf of the Jazz DAO. I’ve been council on VR, Arroz Criativo and cofounded Golden Blue and Jazz DAO. I’m potentially a PhD drop out from an A.I. lab at Goldsmiths University - London that does Data Science but i’ve not dropped out yet. Goldsmiths’ mission is again Art & Science - being one of the top institutions part of this conversation. I’m also privileged with careers in the music industry and the charitable sector in the UK. I hope this is enough for introductions. Wishing you all good luck in your projects.
