Descentralized art project

The project involves creating graffiti artworks featuring the Kusama logo in various cities, commencing with Barcelona. The process encompasses designing a template, and paint it with black spray in urban locations. Each graffiti piece will then be photographed and transformed into a non-fungible token (NFT), minted on the Kusama blockchain.

In the future, we anticipate individuals utilizing our template to make their own graffiti in different cities, financed by the treasury and upload it to the blockchain. Each graffiti point needs to be geolocated, enabling visits to these locations as if they were sanctuaries during travels. A symbolic gesture of reverence—bending the knee in front of the Kusama logo—is encouraged. Cities must have a population exceeding 2,000,000, and once a city is adorned, it cannot be repeated.

Inspired by Foucault's analysis of panopticism as a power mechanism, we propose subverting this paradigm. Placing the Kusama logo strategically in urban settings transforms it into a symbol of rebellion—an inversion of the panoptic gaze. Each graffiti piece disrupts passive surveillance, converting public spaces into active sites of resistance. Drawing further inspiration from Paul B. Preciado, our graffiti project becomes a performative act challenging conventional discourse surrounding public space.

To sum up: A swift template of the KSM logo, creating graffiti, capturing it in a photo, uploading the NFT on StateMine, and geolocating it for others to visit and bend the knee.

Allocation:

· Idea: 69 KSM

Risk+Expenses: 42 KSM (spray, template, time etc..)

We propose these rules for participants in this Project for the first 10 cities:

· 42 KSM (max allocation)

· City must be >2,000,000 population or the most populated city in the country. (for example: Vatican City)

· Can’t repeat cities

· Photo of the NFT. Upload it and geolocate it.

This project is about making graffiti art with the Kusama logo in big cities, starting with Barcelona. Here's what they will do:

Design a template of the Kusama logo.
Paint the template with black spray paint in cities.
Take a photo of each graffiti piece.
Turn the photos into special digital items called NFTs.
Put the NFTs on the Kusama blockchain.

In the future, people can use the template to make their own graffiti in different cities. They will be paid by the treasury and upload their work to the blockchain. Each graffiti spot will be marked on a map, so people can visit them like special places during their travels. They should also show respect by kneeling in front of the Kusama logo.

The project is inspired by ideas about power and how people can use art to challenge the way things are. The graffiti will be a symbol of rebellion and change in public spaces.

Here's what they need to do:

Make a quick template of the Kusama logo.
Create graffiti, take a photo, and put it on StateMine.
Mark the graffiti spot on a map for others to visit and kneel.

They have some rules for the first 10 cities:

Each city must have more than 2,000,000 people or be the most populated city in the country.
They can't repeat cities.
They need to take a photo of the NFT, upload it, and mark it on the map.
