簡介

「無邊界台北」（Borderless Taipei）是全球首個由官方藝術機構認可的鏈上藝術家駐村計畫，由台北國際藝術村（Taipei Artist Village, TAV）與 FAB DAO 共同策劃，共同策展人為韓慶玲。計畫邀請 10 位活躍於 Tezos 生態系的藝術家進行為期六週的虛擬駐村，藝術家在台灣的 NFT 平台 AkaSwap 上創作並發行作品，FAB DAO 以 DAO 國庫資金購藏後，將作品捐贈台北國際藝術村永久典藏——這是一座公立藝術機構首次將 NFT 納入正式館藏。

首創官方鏈上駐村模式

傳統的藝術家駐村需要簽證、機票、工作室空間，往往排除了資源有限的創作者。「無邊界台北」翻轉了這個模式：藝術家不需要實體移動，從世界各地透過區塊鏈進行創作、展示與交易，打破了駐村的地理與經濟限制。

FAB DAO 在計畫中扮演關鍵的橋樑角色——一方面以 DAO 社群的購藏能力為藝術家提供經濟支持，另一方面以去中心化組織的靈活性，協助傳統藝術機構理解並接納鏈上藝術的運作邏輯。這種「DAO 購藏、機構典藏」的模式，開創了公共藝術機構與 Web3 社群合作的先例。

美術館與 DAO 的共舞

計畫期間同步舉辦「DAO 與藝術：我們能一起共舞嗎？」線上研討會，正面探討去中心化組織與傳統藝術機構之間的張力與合作可能——DAO 的扁平治理如何與美術館的策展權威對話？社群共識與專業判斷如何取得平衡？

這個計畫也在 2022 年林茲電子藝術節（Ars Electronica）中獲得展示機會，將台灣的 DAO x 藝術實驗帶上國際舞台，讓歐洲藝術圈看見亞洲 Web3 藝術社群的創新實踐。

工作坊與教育推廣

駐村期間搭配寶藏巖光節（Treasure Hill Light Festival）舉辦 NFT 工作坊，精心設計三小時課程：第一小時講授區塊鏈與 NFT 基礎理論，第二小時邀請駐村藝術家分享創作案例與鏈上發行經驗，第三小時帶領學員實際操作錢包、上架與交易。這種「理論—案例—實作」的課程結構，讓從未接觸過加密貨幣的參與者也能在三小時內完成第一筆鏈上交易。

Introduction

“Borderless Taipei” is the world’s first officially recognized on-chain artist residency program, co-curated by the Taipei Artist Village (TAV) and FAB DAO, with Han Ching-Ling as co-curator. The program invited 10 artists active in the Tezos ecosystem for a six-week virtual residency, during which they created and published works on AkaSwap, Taiwan’s NFT platform. FAB DAO collected these works using DAO treasury funds and donated them to TAV’s permanent collection — marking the first time a public art institution formally incorporated NFTs into its official holdings.

Pioneering the Official On-Chain Residency Model

Traditional artist residencies require visas, airfare, and studio space, often excluding creators with limited resources. “Borderless Taipei” inverted this model: artists did not need to physically relocate, creating, exhibiting, and trading from anywhere in the world through blockchain, breaking both the geographic and economic constraints of conventional residencies.

FAB DAO played a critical bridging role — on one side, leveraging the DAO community’s collective purchasing power to provide economic support for artists; on the other, using the flexibility of a decentralized organization to help a traditional art institution understand and embrace the logic of on-chain art. This “DAO collects, institution archives” model set a precedent for collaboration between public art institutions and Web3 communities.

A Dance Between Museums and DAOs

During the program, an online seminar titled “DAO & Art: Can We Dance Together?” directly addressed the tensions and collaborative possibilities between decentralized organizations and traditional art institutions. How does a DAO’s flat governance structure dialogue with a museum’s curatorial authority? How can community consensus and professional judgment find balance?

The project was also featured at Ars Electronica 2022 in Linz, bringing Taiwan’s DAO x Art experiment to the international stage and showcasing Asian Web3 art community innovations to the European art world.

Workshops and Education

NFT workshops were held during the Treasure Hill Light Festival as part of the residency, featuring a carefully designed three-hour curriculum: the first hour covered blockchain and NFT fundamentals, the second hour featured resident artists sharing their creative processes and on-chain publishing experiences, and the third hour guided participants through hands-on wallet setup, minting, and trading. This “theory — case study — practice” structure enabled participants with no prior cryptocurrency experience to complete their first on-chain transaction within three hours.
