Decentralised Art
​Decentralised Art can be understood as a way to bridge Metamodernism and Web 3.0, bringing together a new cultural philosophy with emerging decentralised technologies.
Metamodernism is a cultural, artistic, and philosophical paradigm that emerged in the early 21st century as a response to, and partial synthesis of, modernism and postmodernism. Its defining characteristic is oscillation—a pendulum-like swinging between opposing poles, without settling permanently on one.
Web 3.0 represents a vision for the next evolution of the internet, centred around decentralisation, user ownership of data and digital assets, and a shift away from the dependence on the centralised corporations that have shaped Web 2.0.
Decentralised Art is a creative network with the aim of developing new paradigm art within a decentralised contemporary art market. The movement seeks to expand human approaches to meaning-making, moving beyond postmodern scepticism surrounding grand narratives, depth, and spirituality. Here blockchain technology offers a new way to create meaning, by constructing decentralised, non-linear histories as part of mapping what Carl Jung called the collective unconscious.
​Core Principles
​​Roger Penrose's argument that quantum mechanics is incomplete—owing to its inability to account for an objective physical collapse of the wavefunction—and his suggestion that the principles governing such a process may be fundamentally non-algorithmic, presents a more substantive challenge to modernist assumptions than postmodern critiques such as Jean-François Lyotard's famous claim that postmodernism is characterised by an "incredulity toward metanarratives."
This incompleteness in quantum mechanics is mirrored by an incompleteness in Jungian typology. Contemporary typological systems describe a sixteen-type structure that maps variations in ego-centric cognition and information processing. While useful, these models account only for the operation of the ego and not for its formation. A more complete typology requires a second sixteen-type system capable of mapping the processes of individuation and ego development, thereby accounting for both the structure and genesis of personality.
Such a system is described in ********************** model. Its significance within a metamodernism lies in its capacity to connect the ideas of Carl Jung and Jacques Lacan, producing a model of the collective unconscious in which three Jungian archetypes serve as bridges between Lacan's three registers. This Triangular model echoes the recursive and paradoxical qualities found in the collaborative works of Penrose and M. C. Escher while also drawing inspiration from the conceptual investigations of artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Joseph Kosuth.
