Fingerprints DAO

by Outland

The collection of Fingerprints DAO is founded on the principle that the NFT’s smart contract can be an artistic medium. In this interview, curator Sam Spike explains what that means and how the concept manifests in various works in the Fingerprints collection. He also discusses the DAO as an organizational form, and its potential for reimagining what an art institution can be.
