Manifesto

I. The exploration that never cedes

Homo sapiens gather, in the form of tribes, then of people, to survive. Survival depends upon collaboration, collaboration upon stories. Words were written and then printed, pictures were drawn on caves and then on walls of cathedrals. Grand stories were created and civilizations were made.

Now, humanity is aiming for Mars. The deepest desire within us is to explore, but before the exploration begins, we need spread stories about why we are here and why we want to be there.

Pictures, words and music are tools, great stories live within them. Those who use the tools skillfully are the creators of stories and the carriers of mankind’s ultimate power.

Where to find the creators?

Inside.

Judging from the Chauvet pont d’arc cave art from 30,000 years ago, everyone is born with some ability to create.

Creation, after all, is our destiny.

II. Moving forward

When Joseph Schumpeter coined the term “creative destruction” eight decades ago, few expected the changes coming so rapidly and decisively. With orders destroyed and rebuilt, people started embracing new ways of doing things.

The ways of creation, however, did not progress.

There has been a wall, an invisible wall between the creators and the audience. The wall has always been there since the commercialization of art. The wall was put there by the the agents, for a purpose, so that the creators must obtain approval from the middlemen before they can reach their audience.

But do we need this wall? Do we need a Sotheby’s for art deals? Do we need galleries to discovery talents? Do we need curators to make connections? We used to do, but not anymore.

“Creative destruction” finally comes to the area of creation.

III.The changes that bring hopes

In order to make money, creations need to be turned into complicated media forms, and it is a huge mistake. Investment has been poured into advertisements, video games and films, with unprecedented failing ratio, turning those industries into casinos. To succeed continuously in the creative space is hard to imagine, especially for the big names.

Musicians, painters, illustrators, designers, video game makers, writers and all creative workers, they are in the state of constant waiting.

Wait no longer.

“Creator economy” is here.

In the core of the “creator economy” lies the brand new way how a brand is created. Different from brands in a traditional sense, those new brands are owned by the community.

The duty of the new creators is to create a new brand, the duty of the brand NFT holders is to develop the brand, together with the creator. In this way, everyone is a creator, a business owner and a shareholder.

“Skin in the game”.

The distribution of ownership makes sure the long wanted progress in creation finally comes.

Not like a corporation, a community is adding value to a brand in a decentralized way. A brand’s value is increasing or decreasing everyday by the daily actions of its owners. The gap between consumption and investing is gradually disappearing. If you bought a NFT, did you consume or invest? Both. NFTs offer any creative work instant market value and allow equal community participation by the means of consumption.

Web 1.0 let users read.

Web 2.0 let users act.

Web 3.0 let users own.

Now that the distance between the creators and collectors is eliminated, the middlemen shall rest in peace.

IV. The coming of the CreatorDAO era

Everyone could be a creator, everyone could be a dreamer.

We are the creators, therefore we know the pain. Creators are on their own, and do not get what they are worth. There is only so much an individual creator can do.

So we have to build something in the new era, for the creators —— CreatorDAO.

CreatorDAO is created by well-known artists and many Web 3.0 native DAOs.

V. Made in Metaverse

Revolutions are storming throughout the Internet. But metaverse is not what you see in your VR headset. It is a collective virtual world where people start creating the moment they wake up and keep creating until the sunset. The real world becomes unreal and the unreal world real. The human species love building things, and we have built way too many stuffs. More cars, more plastic bags, more mobile phones, more than what we can consume in hundred years and it becomes a burden for our next generation and for Mother Earth. We are fed up with physical stuffs that our spirits became barren. Let’s create and make great things in the metaverse, without all the constrictions and pollutions.
