VOICES OF WEB3 is an archive of voices and statements summarising the year 2023 in digital art and culture. It is a document in time on the blockchain, bringing together some of the leading voices shaping Web3 and the history of digital art: artists, curators, and collectors.

THE VOICE GEMS The statements have been recorded in the form of spoken word, poems, and songs by the contributors and are frozen in time as VOICE GEMS on the blockchain. The VOICE GEMS were created by Harry Yeff (Reeps100) and Trung Bao, who have developed a voice-centred generative system utilizing data found in a human voice to synthesise the form and colour of the artwork.

Every voice is unique, and with that comes unique fingerprint-like data. Features like pitch, resonance, harmonics, and pace sculpt particle data points in a simulated digital space.

TRANSCRIPT "Web3 affords poets the ability to transact digital poems in ways that adequately reflect our contribution to culture for what may be the first time in history, reasserting poetry’s agency, broadening how verse is experienced, and creating fresh opportunities for poems to be curated, exhibited, and collected as art.

I believe digital provenance will prove revolutionary for poets.

poem = work of art"

– Ana María Caballero
