Hello all,
MotionDAO had a great month. We accomplished the following:
- Two online workshop sessions (17th and 24th of October) consolidating a stable and committed group of 6 artists/researchers and cultural workers connecting from USA, Colombia, Venezuela, France, Germany and Belgium.
- The two sessions were dedicated to the foundational aspects, opportunities and the implications of the NFT technology for the arts. All participants were invited to mint NFTs using the MotionDAO Gallery at MintBase and to create their own spaces. Participants will receive NFT certificate.

(https://www.mintbase.io/thing/aAI69lU86ukbp_w2BwJfQ5dvmgk3zkmijWm6g1nsWZQ:motiondaogallery.mintbase1.near) - We had Lenara Verle as guest Facilitator for those sessions.
A fee of 50 Near was paid to her via MotionDAO - All participants received 7 Near per session as incentive.
- I offered 4 hours of remote 1 on 1 instruction and mentoring (October 16th and 23rd)
-All workshop sessions were recorded and can be revisited here - A Telegram channel was created.
Highlights:
- The group is becoming a team and 3 of them are part of the MotionDAO council in Sputnik: Marlon, Jeanne and Stef. This is an important advancement in governance.
- Some members are motivated to explore individually and in collaborations with creative coding, NFT galleries, mapping, DAOs, Guilds, staking, remittances and exchanges.
Here is Platohedro from Colombia creating his own space - Realization of the importance of the NFT for the art world: that much so that took two sessions of 90 minutes.
- Necessity to continue in November and December with 4 more sessions to complete the prototype of the 8 labs and cover most of the ecosystem nodes.
In November 2021 we would like to cover:
- Social Tokens or Token Design in Near
- DeFi in Near
In December 2021
- DAOs and Governance.
- MotionDAO Vision/Mission.
In this was the MotionDAO Labs prototype /pilot is consolidating in 6 sessions instead of 4.
Very exciting month!
Testimonials:
I’m really thankful to Marlon and the team. I have learned a lot and I’m intrigued each day by all the possibilities that are opening up with the guidance, as it makes it much easier to navigate this complex Near ocean. As member of the dance-tech community for many years, I feel reignited and inspired to continue and look forward to the continuation of the workshop.
This experience is very important for me and in this time I learn about NEAr and love this protocol and its ecosystem. MotiónDAO is a great process and I wanna share it with Platohedro’s ecosystem.
I am very passionate about this experience and sometimes maybe I am so intense, I am sure some people from Platohedro will love MotionDAO from many perspectives, with artist, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, and people with different skills and dreams.
I am sharing some things about NEAR with cyphersplato, a team of crypto enthusiasts and they are very interested in it.
Until MotionDAO my only thought about the economy was that something runs really wrong in our currency system. In addition as a digital artist, I understood that I need to learn how the NFTs work to survive.
So I had the privilege of being part of this experiment
The tee first sessions of “MotionDAO” have opened to me the door inside a new possible world:
Another possible world is through a decentralized, logical, sustainable and resilient currency system.
I began to understand NEAR
Comparing it to the inefficiency of the conventional currency system, our anachronistic tax system, the giant co2 footprint that a central Bank leaves … I’m really amazed!
I began to understand minting and experimenting deeper on generating choreographic NFTs
-It works like a multiplier-
Inspired by the idea of @Platohedro and the fact that I work with groups of young people inside a framework of urban development, which are so hungry to learn more about the digital and global world in general, specific NFTs and AI:
I think we could work in regional centers spreading this experience.
Regional workshop as multipliers: Minting for arts
Two more ideas are baking in my brain
-Silences-
Could we create a meditation-based token, as a way to generate value meditating … and thus promote an economy of reduction and an embodiment of awareness?
-Bees dance-
An attempt to Modern and Contemporary dance history register
Like bees, dancers build with their movements thru the last centuries the modern and contemporary dance.
A predefined format like Index cards for tiny choreographies.
Of significant movements both from your own work and from historical records.
So you could combine them in new choreographic videos.
Choreographic mints
Looking forward to continuing grow and develop projects together
Thank you MotionDAO for this opportunity!
Hey, here is a shirt feedback. This group is amazing and NEAR ecosystem seems to be for the first time a blockchain environment I feel comfortable to be part of, this is great, merci Marlon for moving the initial project there!
I followed very attentively the NEARCON and in addition to our meetings, I feel I understand much better the environmt.
I plan to propose a project: an ecosystem for art-science artists indexed to carbon credits based on Near. I plan to reach out to people from Open Forest Protocol (already mentioned their project to key actors in France and the US) and Satori/Peter DePaulo…
Started to buy on Mint and will do more in the next days…
Also, I feel I cld help near using my network in France (art, sustainability businesses etc)
Very grateful and happy of our group
