Dear @stayoutoftherz I really appreciate your finger on the painful truth. You are absolutely right that the museum itself will never leave its centralized structure and mindset. Their funding relies on the governmental subsidies, on the private donors who find delight in patronship and they design their program within their curatorial boundaries. So why then call it DAO? My silent question is - so why then call it MAK DAO?
We will establish a DAO for sure, one for applied art based on a foundation of engagement rather than yields, supported by the Hive blockchain infrastructure and the beauty of the Hive reward system itself. I thought a lot about why calling it MAK DAO - apart from the past project obligation that it was the MAK that tried to enter the decentralized world in the first place and then somewhat got cold feet when realizing what decentralization meant for them. I can only quote @solymi who put it very charmingly that way (quoting how I remember it): Call it MAK DAO for the beginning, the museum is there and there are some connections and obligations. And if they can't relate because they are too afraid, we will move on to another name chosen by the community and the MAK DAO will remain there written into the blockchain for ever, as a reminder of the museum's (failed) attempt.
Does that sound reasonable to you?

It does. Thanks for explaining.
In case you live in Vienna, you can come to our next meetup, to discuss things in person. Will be on the 30th. Do you speak German?
Sicher 😊 und Danke! Ich bin am 30. nur leider nicht in Wien 😔
Sind die Meet-Ups monatlich?
ja
Perfekt, ich hab jetzt die Meet Up Community auf mein waves gelegt, dann seh ich den nächsten Termin möglichst bald. Vielleicht schaffen wir ja im Juni einen Termin am 24. oder 25.6. da bin ich auch in Wien, ich halte einen Vortrag auf der Vienna Blockchain Week am 24.
Oh, spannend, werde ich mir vormerken. Hatte vor, mir einige Dinge dort anzuhören.
oh and apologies for the late answer! I really appreciate your opinion, I didn't mean to be rude.
no worries
Simply call it NOT DAO. It is impossible to make a daobased museum. Unless somebody starts that on their own.
@solymi The idea is to create a community based on applied art with or without the museum, so the community will be a DAO. The museum can participate or not, depending on what they want or need. We are not creating a DAO Museum and the attempt to create a Museum DAO has basically failed. Still we can capitalize the original idea. The MAK has given us their name and we can turn to them with projects and foster a relationship, so nothing wrong with that.
And we are still a DAO, operating on Hive.
