”Lights”

WKSHP is a group of creators and friends releasing projects in web3.

We are traditionalists -

Musicians who love being in a room together making records that end up on shelves.

Illustrators and Designers who have spent many fulfilling happy hours poring over print proofs.

Photographers that have loaded their share of 35mm film and logged hours in darkrooms.

We have all, on some level, learned to stop worrying and love The Feed. The Stream. The Algorithmic Present.

But we are also optimists who share a vision of an internet that moves away from ad-driven audience silos with endless content demands.

We want to do our part to help build a more humane future for artists on the internet.

Once we fell down the web3 rabbit hole, we made friends, went to places and met people who had similar questions and critiques, open minds, and an adventurous spirit. It was this sense that we were in good company that inspired us.

So we embark on this journey with a sense of fellowship and appreciation for the culture forming in web3.

The music business research collective Water & Music.
Thought leaders Mat and Holly at Interdependence.
The great Songcamp experiment.
The forthcoming tools of Metalabel.
The artist hive mind at HIFI Labs.
Chase and her podcast The Other Side.
The workplace-reimagineers at The Ready.
Jonathan Mann’s Song a DAO.
Jamie’s Sound of Fractures.
The visual art of Bruce at Studio Yorktown.
Platforms like Async, Catalog, and Sound.
Protocols like Zora and Anthony’s Future Tape.

These and so many others building, iterating, sharing and asking essentially, what’s next?

We all have some idea, but no one definitive answer - we’re making it up as we go - and that’s fun.

Here’s to having fun on the internet with our friends,
