- Hey fellow Refraction friends. I had my wallet drained today and lost what for the most part is my life crypto savings. Just want to tell everyone to watch out for fake zksync airdrop sites as that’s what got me. Literally a momentary lapse for less then a minute and my 100k bonsai, 160 op and 288 ens are gone. Don’t let it happen to you, let me be an example for the community.
Here’s to starting over from scratch.
If you’d like to lend me some support through these tough times I would really appreciate it. If not, I understand that these are tough times.
I just want to thank everyone for making me feel so welcomed here.
Shae.

- Hi there! Today I'd like to introduce myself and share my first creative prompt as curator in residence with @lens/orb 💚
I’m a new media artist blending creative technology and narrative through both analog and digital mediums. My focus over the last few years has been deeply rooted in the exploration of AI. This journey is particularly personal, as I navigate creating art while battling a neurodegenerative condition. Integrating AI into my practice has empowered me to continue producing work in ways that were once physically challenging or impossible.
Throughout my residency, I will share weekly creative prompts for you to engage with and showcase your artwork and process. Submissions in any medium are welcome, and you may submit as many pieces as you’d like. The only requirement is to incorporate AI in some aspect of your creation and explain its integration.
At the end of my residency I’ll be sharing my final curation of my favorite submissions, which will be featured in upcoming @lens/refraction art exhibitions ⭐️
To kick things off, my first prompt is for you to share a self-portrait artwork and introduce yourself and your art practice. I look forward to getting to know you and your work!

- 🌞Good morning! I have put together a short summary of my current research on the concepts of authorship and post-authorship in the new internet age.
The research is still ongoing, but here is what I have so far.

— POST-AUTHORSHIP FOR THE NOOBS —
With tech’s rapid leap forward, post-authorship has been a big deal over the last few years. In Web3 & decentralized environments, it refers to the evolving concept of content creation and ownership. Different from classic authorship where the creator's work is done once it goes live, post-authorship allows authors to stay involved in the life cycle of their content 4eva. Writers, artists, degens, and builders alike can use on-chain tech to maintain control over their work, even after it’s been released. In the end, this process often results in pieces that cultivate community and frens-ships.
Its relevance here lies in its potential to bring up next-gen synergy formats between creators, their content, and their audience. It offers a better model for monetization and distribution, where authors can benefit from their work on an ongoing basis and engage with their network in meaningful and spiritual ways.
For example, on many Web3 publishing platforms, writers with a wallet can publish their texts and let readers collect words that resonate with them. This provides them with a new ca$h stream but also generates knit-knit bonds with their audience, who can now own a piece of something they enjoy.
This radical shift from the Web2 style authorship to the decentralized one is a big step in how content is handled. This transition is facilitated by using protocols that invite contributors to co-create, share, and monetize content transparently and securely. It represents a flex move towards an ecosystem where individual creativity turns into a team effort that is a win-win for everyone on board.
THE EVOLUTION OF AUTHORSHIP
Historically, authorship began as a collective practice, with works often created collaboratively or passed down orally before being attributed to any single individual. This evolved during the French Renaissance, a period that emphasized individual creativity and legal rights, exemplified by figures such as Montaigne. The Romantic era furthered this individualism, idolizing authors like Wordsworth as solitary geniuses.
Today, Web3 technologies are stimulating a return to collective creation, facilitated by decentralized platforms that allow for transparent and shared ownership of creative works. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are once again reconceptualized within this framework, enabling direct creator-to-consumer interactions without traditional intermediaries.
The distinction between copyright and authorship is becoming increasingly important, as the nature of their functions evolves in the context of digital autonomy and authority. Copyright now often serves to protect individual interests within collective frameworks, while authorship is being redefined by the collaborative ethos of Web3 communities.
This move to digital authorship has been transformative, enabling the lonely writer to embrace a more communal and interactive form of creation. Indeed, the web has democratized the publishing process, allowing authors to bypass the establishment and reach audiences directly through blogs, social media, and self-publishing platforms from the comfort of their sofa or local coffee shop. This new landscape has also seen the emergence of new genres and forms of writing, such as fanfiction and team-oriented storytelling, challenging the very notions of originality in the literary field.
WEB3 AND THE DECENTRALIZATION OF CREATION
Blockchain permits a decentralized approach by granting participants access to a distributed network for validating and recording transactions. This is achieved through a consensus mechanism that ensures everyone agrees on the validity of transactions without the need for a central authority. The technology’s inherent features—such as immutability, transparency, and security—facilitate trust among users and bring an efficient system that operates independently of centralized control.
In such a context, NFTs and DAOs play a pivotal role in supporting grouped property and creation. NFTs certify both the uniqueness and ownership of digital assets on the network, letting creators monetize their work in new ways. DAOs, on the other hand, enable a unified governance structure where decisions are made democratically by token holders. Together, they provide a model where communities can collectively own, manage, and benefit from digital creations, leading to a more inclusive and participatory digital economy.
THE IMPACT ON CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
Post-authorship significantly impacts various creative sectors by altering the traditional dynamics of content creation, proof of belonging, and distribution:
• Art: In the art world, post-authorship pushes collaborative pieces where multiple artists contribute to a single work. The final piece can be tokenized as an NFT, providing a way to verify authenticity and ownership while also enabling artists to grab royalties from future sales.
• Music: Musicians can use post-authorship to create songs that evolve with contributions from different creators. Blockchain tech can track these contributions and ensure fair compensation through smart contracts.
• Writing: Writers can collaboratively produce works that are continuously updated and expanded upon by the community. This can lead to a living document, a work of literature that is never ‘finished’ but grows and changes, with contributors being rewarded through blockchain mechanisms.
Overall, post-authorship liberates the creative process. It establishes a more democratic and community-driven approach to making and owning, which can lead to greater innovation and diversity in the industries.
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
The legal and ethical considerations of post-authorship in Web3 involve getting into tricky intellectual property rights, ensuring data security, maintaining transparency and accountability, and addressing environmental impacts.
These challenges are balanced by the potential for exploration, with Web3 encouraging new ways of creating and sharing content, enabling digital ownership, and facilitating collective management and decision-making. This opens up tons of possibilities for artists, creators, and entrepreneurs to explore alternatives for expression and unity.
WHAT’S N3XT
The implications of post-authorship in the Web3 era are quite deep and far-reaching. Because we run straight to a futur3 where almost everything might be decentralized, the line between creators, consumers, and collaborators is slowly getting erased. Consequently, IP-related issues, privacy, and ethical considerations will require reevaluation to adapt to these new paradigms.
Apart from that, the options are endless with opportunities for emerging styles of artistic expression, economic models, and community governance. Ultimately, post-authorship could redefine our understanding of sovereignty in the new internet age.

I'll be honest, I've lost all enthusiasm when it comes to WEB3. I have stopped seeing a future for these solutions because I don't see how they improve the life of the common people (artists) on a daily basis. Instead, I see another, alien, alternative world being created, something like a cult that a few, introduced by the 'enlightened', can belong to.
Much of the content on @lens/lens is about lens itself, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, which for me - a lover of music and vinyl, books and cooking - is of little interest.
If you have examples of how blockchain helps in ordinary life, please share. So far, I feel disappointed.
In the meantime, I look forward to some breakthrough discovery!
