Far from being a neutral infrastructure, blockchain has become a contested terrain where governance, value, and cooperation are redefined. Barbara Cueto moves beyond market-driven interpretations to explain how blockchain can function as a tool for radical imagination—a structure that, despite its entanglements with finance, holds the potential to support alternative forms of social organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridging art history, political theory, and technology studies, and inspired by David Graeber, Joseph Beuys, and J.K. Gibson-Graham, the book introduces Critical Blockchain Art as an artistic practice that appropriates blockchain as both a conceptual framework and a technical infrastructure for political experimentation. Rather than reproducing speculative markets or technological spectacle, these projects engage with the social and material conditions of blockchain to question how value is produced, how cooperation is organized, and how dissent can be enacted. In doing so, they build on the legacy of socially engaged art and institutional critique, while opening new spaces for testing alternative modes of governance and rethinking the infrastructures that shape collective life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbara Cueto\u003c\/strong\u003e is an independent curator, writer, and researcher based in Berlin.
