Mass Perception: web3 social in the era of Hyperobject-ivity.

The author argues that blockchains are hyperobjects, massively distributed in time and space, and that they can only be perceived through their surfaces, such as interfaces and social platforms. Drawing on Timothy Morton's concept, the author describes blockchains as viscous, nonlocal, phased, and interobjective. The author presents web3 social as the most native and human surface yet, combining financial, cultural and social activity in one feed, and cites Galverse's 2022 launch across Discord, Twitter and a website as an example of fragmented channels.
