MOCA FUNDRAISER 2023 FINAL (!!!!) UPDATE
Lots of Fun Stuff You Can't Afford to Miss
As this post is being sent out, there is only 1 DAY, 15 HOURS, and 14 MINUTES until the MOCA 2023 FUNDRAISER comes to its conclusion. We cannot stress enough that we are still nowhere near our goal of at least 2000 MOCA DNFTs needed to fund operations for the coming year. So we wanted to reveal the rest of the tricks we have up our sleeve as the fundraiser winds down. Read on for updates on:
How We Envision Using these Fundraised Funds
Redeeming a MUSEUM QUALITY print of the MOCAIC NFT
The 1/1 Sale as it Currently Stands
The 24-Hour Livestream Schedule
But first, let’s take a look at that gorgeous MOCAIC one more time.
If you’ve yet to do so, please consider collecting a MOCAIC DNFT (or two or 10) now by visiting: https://app.manifold.xyz/c/moca-fundraiser-2023
1. How We Envision Using These Fundraised Funds
We have sold 1190 DNFTs! Our goal was to sell at least 2000 of these bad boys, so we have plenty of work left to do. If you’re reading this, and if you enjoy the writings, podcasts, exhibitions, ROOMs, Twitter feed, or anything else MOCA does, please support us by collecting a MOCAIC DNFT. They’re only .0142069 ETH (~$25), and we promise to put that money to good use.
The MOCA Team put together an article, The M○C△ Fundraiser: Our Inspirations and Our Visions, detailing how we want to see the Museum grow in the next year.
Some highlights include:
Colborn Bell, Founder: “We must continue to “extitutionalize” the institution. This depends on us being able to decouple the ideals of the organization from physical space and time (i.e. it must exist within the hearts and minds of the participants not as a physical location or entity, but as an idea that such a place can exist strictly when it is called into being by anyone at any moment).”
Shivani Mitra, Founder/Director: “M○C△ should pursue bleeding-edge technology and philosophy through psyop and algorithm-hacking online content. One way is with our AI. Another one is in research that unpacks the transhumanist cybernetic world of the human species. This can be visual research or written research or PFPs that really instigate reactions.”
Rene Schmidt, Founder/Technology Director: “Between 2025 and 2030 I’d personally love to see more traditional Museums displaying M○C△ collections and ROOMs inside their own physical walls via AR experiences. I’d love to see integrations into games like Fortnite and of course into many different 3D social platforms. One of my dreams is that M○C△ becomes an omnipresent meme which is recognized by the “art curious” in all sorts of applications due to its unique architectural structures or the prominent on-chain curators from the community. I’d love to see M○C△ becoming a place that reflects the zeitgeist of a global, planetary civilization.”
