DAOs present a new way for humans to collaborate in the post-internet age. They remove the corporate ladder from organizations and allow any member to have a saying regardless of their title, educational background, or personal identity. DAOs are like Bitcoin, leaderless democracies where the popular vote stirs the direction of the project instead of a board of directors or a CEO. The DAO was a virtual venture capital fund, that allowed token holders to submit a proposal for funding of their project. In June 2016, the…

Italian film-maker Michelangelo Frammartino, creator of the subtle and beautiful movie Le Quattro Volte (The Four Seasons), has returned with his first substantial feature in 12 years. It is effectively another silent movie: a mysterious, wordless evocation of Calabria in southern Italy, notionally set in the early 60s but actually unfolding in something like geological time. The dead-slow, dead-calm Il Buco (The Hole) is similar to Le Quattro Volte in style and substance, and incidentally restates a trope from that film:…

Last week, Jamie Lee Curtis sparked “internet feud” headlines when she gleefully declared on social media that her new film “out marvels any Marvel movie”. The multiverse-themed Everything Everywhere All At Once has indeed been giving Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (which cost eight times as much) a run for its money, both financially and artistically. Punching way above its weight, this inventive indie pic boasts spectacular ambitions that belie its limited budget. Yet for all its madcap invention and frenzied…
