Sndbox Project Updates are recaps of major Steem-powered project developments led by current cohort members. Sndbox projects are specifically designed and executed to broaden the impact and presence of creative and community work within the Steem ecosystem.
Hello Steemit! This week we’ll be revising our "Project Series" to update you all on major projects currently underway. We did the first comprehensive report last month and plan on publishing an update every 2 weeks with their latest developments from here on out. So let’s jump into it -
@mrblinddraw's #whisper Gallery is Steemit’s own artistic form of the game "Telephone" where artists call upon other creatives on the platform to interpret work and continue a thread of innovation. It's an amazing showcase of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Make sure to explore the range of creatives involved in this exciting project.
We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain. (Link)
Check out the latest submission this week by @coloringiship and the full trail of the Whisper project here.
@kr-marketing is a Korean community project led by @leesongyi and @leesol. Their team reinvents blockchain news and crypto-information into beautiful and easy to understand illustrations. Afterwards, these graphics are shared throughout social media and off-line as prints. Across all languages, this is a fantastic precedent for Steem-powered collaboration among blockchain developers, experts, traders and artists!
This week, they’ve published new chapters on blockchain-related vocabulary and one commemorating the Sewol Ferry tragedy. Read and support the full posts here and here.
@blockmountain is a creative group led by @djlethalskillz, @scuzzy and @playitforward. This trio is in the process of developing Steemit's first community powered music album. The Block Mountain group is assembling a collective of artists with talents spread across all different mediums through their weekly challenges and competitions. Make sure to explore their weekly updates and open calls for artists, performers and creatives of all kinds.
This past week, @djlethalskillz published a song as part of the project. See the post and hear the soundtrack here.
@phillyhistory is a graduate-level history seminar at Temple University. Each of the students (below) are currently using Steemit to blog, document and share their ongoing research for the seminar. A community account, led by [@phillyhistory] is being used to compile student research, offer feedback, share with the wider community and accrue funding to support non-profit grants of local Philadelphia institutions.
@hourofhistory, @dduquette, @engledd, @jfeagan, @cheider, @charliehersh, @tmaust, @chelseareed, @johnesmithiii, @gvgktang, @yingchen, @connellgregg, @xiaonanli, @peartree4, @landy-yinan, @phillyhistory, and @phillyculture.
Their latest post covers the most recent developments of the students and class discussions as the semester begins to come to a close. Read the full report here.
@urban-thinktank is a research and development studio out of the ETH Zurich (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule/ Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). The team behind their flagship project Empower Housing has teamed up with @sndbox to raise awareness and Steem-power funds for new housing prototype strategy and community planning in South Africa. U-TT will use all cryptocurrency raised to fund ongoing development of housing in Khayelitsha, South Africa. Their approach to architecture and community development is inspiring, make sure to give them a warm hello and support their empowering work!
This week, the U-TT team expands on the idea of “Live Prototyping” as they reveal their process on implementing real-time change in South Africa. Read all about it here.
The Musician’s Guide is a developing eBook with the sole purpose of onboarding aspiring and established musical professionals onto the Steem blockchain. @heymattsokol does weekly reports on every aspect of the project from writing to design, to task outreach and marketing.
@heymattsokol’s latest post calls for more Steemians to participate in the image-making process of the online publication. Check out the full post here.
Thank you for exploring!
Stay tuned each week for a series of project updates and milestones. Make sure to give these projects a follow and support their latest posts. For more on creative initiatives be sure to follow our online magazine; @creativecrypto. Launching later this Spring!
