Student Projects

Collaboration with the Spencer Museum of Art

Michael Keleti, Emma Nasseri, Alexis Vielma
This project is executed in collaboration with the Spencer Museum of Art, investigating the social implications of attacks on democracy and the parallels between consensus in computing and privilege in society. The initial goal of this project was to model a 51% attack on an Ethereum Classic testnet to create media for the collaborating artists to manipulate for a public installation to take place in 2023. The focus later developed towards intervening in EIP forums as an examination of social structures and Ethereum.
