JPG Gallery
Apr 4, 2023·Tap to summarize
On today’s show, I’m joined by María Paula, Trent Elmore, and Sam Spike to discuss JPG. JPG, or Juried Protocol Galleries, is an evolving set of experiments that seeks to bring curatorial memory to the NFT art scene. Often contrasting themselves with the highly financialized speculative art market for which NFTs are well known, the JPG team is dedicated to bringing art appreciation and long term curatorial memory to the decentralized art world through onchain interventions. JPG’s latest project is Canons. Canons are Token Curated Registries. Holders of the Canonicon non-transferrable NFT vote to elect NFT collections to Canons, which are lists of NFTs on a particular theme. Votes are stored on arweave, and a mathematical formula rewards JXPG, the protocol’s reputation token, to voters whose taste is confirmed by their peers. It was great chatting with María, Trent, and Sam about the origins and evolution of JPG’s gallery, exhibitions, and new TCR projects. I hope you enjoy the show.
