Ideamarket NFTs with AccursedShare

I’m thrilled to announce we’ve partnered with AccursedShare to create a set of 10,000 NFTs based on our Wikipedia market once it goes live.

AccursedShare, whose name refers to Georges Bataille’s book on anthropological economics, is a leader in the burgeoning NFTs-with-a-philosophical-point industry.

“Remember GameStop?” With the same disruptive energy, Accursed Share is a Promethean project to seize the means of artistic creation; nothing less. Slowly, then all at once. 1/7

Here’s how their announcement blog post describes our collaboration (emphasis mine):

Accursed Share’s first NFT collaboration will represent the evolving relationship between each of the top 100 listings on Ideamarket—10,000 pairs of concepts—through innovative data visualisation art. Think of them as trading pairs, that evolve in relation to market activity over time.

Media and social media corporations provide a distorted picture of public beliefs, values, and opinions. The Ideamarket / Accursed Share collaboration will display the “marketplace of ideas” at its most tangible and cryptographically unadulterated. In doing so, it will invite the public to communicate with the narratives that surround and shape us, while reclaiming a voice and a sense of agency over them.

Our joint NFT project will be an experiment in visualizing what had been invisible: the evolving landscape of public opinion.

Can’t wait! 🚀🚀🚀

PS — Remember: Make a shopping list of Wikipedia articles that represent the low-hanging fruit of the informational world: obviously important, indisputably real, and drastically under-acknowledged.
