How does technology organize life? Who gets to claim the technological as their own, and thereby becomes claimed? How can the technological be reclaimed? The Proof-of-Stake protocol is assumed to provide a sustainable consensus mechanism for blockchain transactions. This book uses this assertion as a springboard to artistically and conceptually investigate the organizational conditions and effects of technology and technological objects. Based on the exhibition Proof of Stake: Technological Claims at Kunstverein in Hamburg, curated by Simon Denny and Bettina Steinbrügge, the book brings together a global group of artists and scholars who inquire into the objects, apparatuses, geographies and power relations of organized life.
