Why should I be an Art Blocks community Curation Board member?
mashbean is a medical doctor turned web3 architect, currently working at the Ministry of Digital Affairs in Taiwan. As a government employee, he is researching the development of cultural technology, cyberart, and digital democracy. He is both a researcher and practitioner of DAO in the public and third sectors. Notably, he curated "Project %" for
@FAB_DAO and participated in the 2022 Ars Electronica Festival. In addition, mashbean has served as a judge in the cultural department of the central government of Taiwan, jointly reviewing projects related to future art.
I am a critic focused on web3 art & ecosystem, writing columns for
@ARTouch_com , the most well-known art critique media in Taiwan, called "Doublemint," with web3 art and the future art ecosystem as the main themes. I have written about the story of "Elixir", an early net art group in Taiwan, and the history of internet development, as well as the development history of web3 art in different regions of East Asia. I have helped Taiwan’s art museums carry out decentralized autonomous experiments, "Kng DAO" (2022), and also assisted the Taipei Art Village in planning and implementing "Artist in residency on-chain" (2022). My articles are scattered in several art media, such as the Artouch, Nomansland, and Arthon.

In addition, as one of the founders of the generative art curatorial group
@VolumeDAO in Taiwan, we focus on developing the local generative art ecosystem. I also focus on the development stories of Taiwanese generative artists and have written about
@IOivm @cheyuwu345 @jinyaolin @s_r_r_z_
@LienchengWang1 &
@yiwen_lin. With a deep appreciation for the spirit of Plurality, I am dedicated to finding a unique approach that deviates from synthetic technocracy and corporate libertarianism.

If I could become an Art Blocks community Curation Board member, I would provide diverse perspectives, especially contemporary perspectives related to cultural policies and cultural technology, and promote the generative art ecosystem in the East Asia region. Taiwan has its own unique aesthetic context, tense geopolitical relations, and multicultural exchanges. In the web3 world, this is a very ordinary lifestyle and perspective, which we already get used to it.
