Temporal Secessionism started two years ago as a self-initiated project by Nascent. Who or what is Nascent, anyway? We describe Nascent as: … an EXIT TECH production studio investigating alternative infrastructures. Delving into the nature‘ of games, economics, and consensus systems, we create theory-based computational experiments and tools to prototype technological secessionism and spark discussion about the base layers of current stacks. Originally founded as a laboratory for infrastructural and economic experiments, Nascent developed a stronger theoretical focus for the last two years. In doing so we have acknowledged text production as a part of our artistic research, with publications becoming an inevitable outcome. The entanglement of capitalist modes of production, time measurements, and consensus systems is for us an ongoing research field, beginning with the question of how to formulate a generative and affective position towards decentralized ledgers as new forms of temporality, and/or new temporal regimes…
