Forkonomy() - ver4 @ Graz

How to buy/own/mint one millilitre of the ocean from the South China Sea?


1 👋🇼‌🇪‌🇱‌🇨‌🇴‌🇲‌🇪‌🙋

How to buy/own/mint one millilitre of the ocean from the South China Sea? (guided by such a speculative question that takes the figurative and pirated material— the South China Sea as our object of study)

2.1 👋Who are we (subject position)?

  • Winnie (HK🇭🇰) & Tzutung (TW🇹🇼)
    • background
    • why the Taiwan and Hong Kong situations bring us together and do Forkonomy()?

2.3 Context - why South China Sea?

boundaries are constructed only in relation to land: three-mile zone and the two 12 miles international boundaries follow the coast line (UNCLOS 10 December 1982).


2.3.1 South China Sea Politics

Why choosing South China Sea as a figurative and pirated object (of study) to think about forkonomy, digital commons and piracy?

  • Geopolitical site & colonial power (not only about the sea but natural resources e.g huge oil and gas reserves, economic trade, international relations, space, rights/power struggles)
    • the sea gives an enormous trade value, military value, and world power.
  • Indigenous territory issues (land/Sea/rights/ownership/contract)
  • Buying/Owning (contract/licensing)
  • Commoning (beyond privatized and state-owned property)
    • resource for the communities
    • grassroots
    • code of conduct: how to operate in a fair, open, diverse, and more equal fashion

2.4 Workshop - ver 1 in Taiwan

the note for deciding the sea water average price


2.4 Workshop - ver 1 in Taiwan

the ownership style of the South China Sea water


2.4 Workshop - ver 1 in Taiwan

the decided price for 1ml of the South China Sea water is 1.61 NTD = 0.047 euro


2.5 Exhibition - ver 2 in Taiwan

(https://hackmd.io/@siusoon/forkonomy_ver2)

What does it mean by mining and co-owning one millilitre of the ocean from the South China Sea (beyond Taiwan context)?

  • NFT: Based upon ver 1's agreed price and co-owned type
    • decentralized network and protocols
    • selling 1 millilitre of water (ownership via contract)
    • contract (EN, CN, Code)
    • unlimited edition (vs limited edition) -> unlimited water owners
    • challenge the notion of privatized assets in the capitalistic economy

2.6 Workshop - ver 3 in South Korea

what is our mutual connection with the sea?

4.2 Introducing Military Aggression/Strategy

Since 2009, China has advanced its territorial claims in this region through a variety of tactics—such as reclaiming land, militarizing islands it controls, and using legal arguments and diplomatic influence—without triggering a serious confrontation with the United States or causing a regional backlash.
