REFRAMING
REFRAMING: A Curatorial Strategy for Radical Cultural Agency
At its core, REFRAMING critically examines the legal, economic, and systemic forces that structure cultural production, advancing an alternative model of artistic collaboration rooted in equity, mutuality, and shared wealth. This curatorial framework dismantles entrenched hierarchies and patriarchal binaries, foregrounding experimental methodologies that empower artists and reconfigure the mechanisms of intellectual and economic control.
Operating as a dynamic and evolving research-driven platform, REFRAMING integrates site-specific interventions with long-term initiatives that redefine cultural authorship and sustainability:
- PPAC Art License: A pioneering intellectual property framework that enables artists to retain sovereignty over their work while fostering economic solidarity through shared copyright principles.
- The Teaching Institute for Art & Law (TIAL): A decentralized, autonomous organization (DAO) providing critical education on intellectual property rights, offering artists access to tools such as a smart signature registry system for ethical attribution and contractual autonomy.
- Public Engagement: Through exhibitions, performances, critical discourse, and participatory programming, REFRAMING invites communities to actively interrogate the ethics of cultural production, labor, and ownership, fostering collective agency in the redefinition of artistic value.
- Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with institutions and organizations committed to justice and equity, REFRAMING leverages interdisciplinary alliances to amplify impact, drive policy change, and cultivate an ecosystem of shared governance.
- TIAL Web3 DAO: A decentralized cooperative platform utilizing blockchain technology to establish fair terms of use, ensure equitable compensation, and redefine authorship within the digital economy.

At its core, the project uses AI-generated versions of Barbie to expose the dangers of identity profiling and the commodification of the self, all while critiquing the hyper-sexualized and often racially biased portrayal of women in media and popular culture.

The project interrogates the implications of identity profiling in the digital age, questioning how our personal data is harvested, sold, and repurposed by AI systems that create eerily accurate and commodified versions of who we are.

Drawing on the Situationist International's ideas of détournement and the subversion of dominant cultural symbols, Barbie Hacked My Life channels the Situationists' radical politics to resist the passive consumption of identity and agency.

It also critiques the systemic racism embedded in algorithms that disproportionately affect marginalized groups, as well as the reduction of women to avatars of desire or unattainable perfection.

Dadais Americanus?
The Dadais Americanus Productions with offices in U.S.A. and Europe, commissions and produces transmedia collectively copyrighted performative and embodied art, done under the pseudonym of Dadais Americanus and with the intent to transform points of conflict into co-created IP Art, thus bringing healing attention to the alienation that exists between artists and cultural producers and the commercialization of art.
Dadais Americanus is a pseudonym used for Art made in the COMMONS that was registered with the US Copyright Office in 2020. Any creator can assume this name for a DaDA performance under the PPAC copyright license, and for artistic transgressions that defy the systems of power. For example, PPAC is a co-created IP Art by Pro Arts & OccupyIP. So is the Reframing essay (scroll down the page).
