Note: “From Commons to NFTs” is an (expanded) writing series initiated by Shu Lea Cheang, Felix Stalder & Ewen Chardronnet. Cautioned by the speculative bubble (burst) of NFTs, the series brings back the notion of commons from around the turn of the millennium to reflect upon and intervene in the transformation of the collective imagination and its divergent futures. Every last day of the month Makery publishes a new contribution of these “chain essays”. Seventh and last text by Lee Tzu Tung.
Lee Tzu Tung, a Taiwanese political artist, examines how the blockchain and NFTs could be used to construct property regimes outside the colonial legacies of the state, embodying indigenous and community principles. She draws on her own work and field research in Taiwan Indigenous communities, placing it in the context of broader anti-colonial struggles for recognition and autonomy.
