Newsletter #2 explores the concept of "Staatskunst," or the art of statecraft, and its implications for grant writing and creating a self-sustained economy for artists through blockchain technology. It calls for new rituals to document and celebrate collective experiences.

THE ANARCHIVING GAME

The Anarchiving game is a living, participatory archive built on a shared contract deployed on the Zora crypto-network. It enables an emerging network of collaborators and friends to mint, share and collect fragments related to the Sphere’s creative journey.

The Anarchiving Game is fractal and proliferating: an open-ended canvas where the collective memory and creative outputs of The Sphere's community are not only preserved, but continually re-envisioned and activated on their creative edges, enacting through web3 means the feeling of interdependence constitutive of the live arts.

As the network of anarchivists grows, so will its oracular and AI-divinatory powers, turning the whole game into a unique value discovery process for self-collecting digital ensembles in becoming.

About the Sphere: The Sphere (www.thesphere.as) is an emergent network of radical theorists, artists and technologists exploring new ecologies of funding for the arts. We are building web3-based regenerative commons in which artists, audiences, collectors and other stakeholders of the creative ecosystem come together to share the joy, risks and opportunities of making art. The Anarchiving Game is our latest creation: a participatory protocol embodying the spirit of innovation and interdependence constitutive of the live arts.
