Charting the development of Piracy, from the oceans to computer piracy, I wanted to explore how online scams and pop ups could potentially help to deliver reparations. In this work "Return It" the idea was to create a pop up that would infect an institutions computer, demanding the return of a stolen artefact that the institution has. This work was the catalyst for my work BLACKTRANSSEA.COM/Pirating Blackness.

This selection presents some of the different ways that Web3 technology is currently used by artists—technologically, conceptually, aesthetically, socially, and politically. It gives a more comprehensive view of the influence of the blockchain and related tech on artists, one which goes beyond the simple prioritization of aesthetics, which has arguably become the ascendent feature of this nascent art ecosystem, often at the expense of other more innovative qualities.
 
Although sometimes feeling like a constrained focus on a single technology, this selection shows that utilizing the blockchain can engender multifarious new outcomes for artists and their audiences. The artists selected here are some of the most adept at making use of these technologies and their surrounding cultures, while together they signal some crucial ways that the tech will continue to be used by artists.
