Brady took over the stage for a second year, this time jamming around ideas about censorship, free speech, suppression of creativity, and collaboration. The different talks taking place at the space influenced Brady’s creative direction, his performance started integrating the concept of artDAOs as these ideas evolved. We look forward to seeing how this plays out in the future and perhaps next year experience and experiment with some artDAO integration to his performance.

In addition, Brady opened the stage for participants to play with him and improvise in many different ways. ETHDenver attendees just jumped right up to jam with Brady, including the very own Bufficorn himself!

The Garden of Ethereum

Kelly LeValley Hunt

Last year a wall at the MakeSpace was hijacked by a passionate leading force in the tech space who happened to love art. We were surprised and absolutely thrilled to have Kelly LeValley Hunt show up again, coming up to the sixth floor determined to own again a piece of the MakerSpace. What a pleasant surprise!

In her own words Kelly describes her contribution to our collective jam:

“The idea of the Garden of Ethereum is based on the concept that the Ethereum ecosystem is growing into a self sustaining, decentralized future, and every time we complete a line of code it contributes to this decentralized Paradise. The result is that one day we will have a flourishing ecosystem with many cryptocurrencies evolving so that we can use them when and where we need to.

The Garden of Ethereum at ETHDenver was built to give developers a place to clear their mind with bird songs and soft light but also to give the physical representation that when a developer plants a seed it grows. The garden featured crypto currencies in blossom signifying the start of crypto spring, birdsong signifying the start of something new, and soft light signifying dawn. The plants growing in the room represented a jungle of code like a rainforest where there is no center, just a complementary network of growth. Many lovely thanks to the contributors: Leona Gomez, “Vegas” aka: Alex A., Elizabeth “Boo” Lunt, and Jason Gegere. Plus a big thank you to The Geniuses of LED Lights Iain Nash and Océane Boulais”

Unstoppable Bufficorn

Unstoppable Bufficorn by Anastasia Mackert

As attendees went up and down exploring the space, we came across Artist and lawyer Anastasia Mackert, who had been working on an impressive piece that we are happy to feature here. She joined the MakerSpace to find a place for relaxation and enjoyment, what she found was a group of people engaging with her work and opening a dialogue around the ideas she proposed with her Unstoppable Bufficorn. One of those happy encounters.

Anastasia designed this digital piece inspired by Andreas M. Antonopoulos’s keynote speech on unstoppable code. This bufficorn illustrates the commonalities and connectedness of every contributor in the Ethereum community through its many linked data points.
