Web 3.0, geleneksel ürünler için de yeni çözümler sunarak akla ilk gelen tanımların ötesine geçiyor ve hayatımızda geniş bir yer ediniyor. Batmak üzere olan ve kredi başvuruları reddedilen bir Estonyalı çiftçinin Web 3.0 altyapısı ile çiftliğini kurtarma şekli ise hem bugünün hem yarının dünyasına ışık tutuyor.

Finansman Problemi

Tanel Tang’ın hikayesi gelir gider dengesi sağlamak için acil ihtiyaç duyduğu 68.650 dolarlık bir nakit ihtiyacı ile başlıyor. Tang, dünyanın her yerinde olduğu gibi finansman ihtiyacı için ilk akla gelen yer olan bankalara gidiyor. Ancak işi çok küçük olduğu ve yeterli teminatı bulunmadığı için kredi alamıyor.

Çiftliğini kapatmak istemeyen Tang, “ürününü ve işini seven tüketiciler topluluğu Saaremaa Mahemuna’ya” başvurarak alternatif bir çözüm arıyor. Estonyalı çiftçi, topluluğa NFT’ler aracılığıyla kârından bir pay teklif ederek ihtiyacı olan sermayeyi elde etmeyi başarıyor. Bir Web 3.0 çözümü olan NFT’ler böylece bir işletmenin batmaktan kurtulmasına aracı oluyor.

Taze tüketim ürünleri ve lezzetli krem kıvamında olan mayonezleriyle tanınan Tang çiftliği’nin yumurta gibi kaliteli organik ürünlerine de talep bulunuyordu. Ancak çiftlik sadece 68.650 dolar uğruna risk altındaydı. Tang’ın çiftliğini kurtarması ve sürdürülebilir bir temele oturtması örnek teşkil edecek bir hikaye ortaya çıkardı.

Tanel Tang’ın bir yatırımcı topluluğuyla nasıl bağlantı kurduğunun hikayesi, Web 3.0 dünyasının

On June 8th, 2023, the cell and Franklin Furnace co-hosted "Pride as Performance: Preserving the Ephemeral" - a program I produced in conjunction with Elena Zavalev (CADAF) that included a "Life is Drag" installation, a panel discussion, and a live show featuring drag performers I recently documented for this archive. This event served as both a celebratory closing reception for my most recent 6 month "Life is Drag" residency at the cell, as well as CADAF's 3rd Web3 Collectors Salon.

"Pride as Performance" featured distinguished scholars, curators, artists, and performers:

● Martha Wilson (Franklin Furnace founder & performance artist)

● Rachel Rampleman ("Life is Drag" archive creator & multimedia artist)

● Carrie Able (internationally renowned multidisciplinary artist & metaverse pioneer)

● Joe E. Jeffreys (drag historian, documentarian, educator & pundit)

● Esther, The Bipedal Entity! (drag performer & multimedia artist)

● Fem Appeal (18 veteran of NYC’s drag & burlesque scenes)

● Stephanie McGovern (visual artist, performer & video artist)

● Junior Mintt (drag preacher & businesswoman)

● Sir Cum Sized (drag king, clown & klezmer musician)

Topics covered during the panel included:

● The vital role of documenting and archiving performance art, and more specifically, drag

● Web3 / NFT opportunities for performance artists

● The transformation of performance art and drag in the digital era

The show after the panel featured performances by Mimi, Silk, Fem Appeal, Sir Cum Sized, X-Emma & TANK.

In partnership with Franklin Furnace and the cell.

to these purposes. Franklin Furnace is committed to serving emerging artists; to assuming an aggressive pedagogical stance with regard to the value of avant-garde art to life; and to fostering artists’ zeal to broadcast ideas.

Kind of like a media pass the parcel. Or a relay race.
