DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 10 December\, 1-4pm \n \nJoin us for a free workshop 
 exploring the blockchain and cryptocurrency with artist Helen Knowles\, 
 in collaboration with FutureEverything.\nTrickle Down-A New Vertical Sov
 ereignty is a new four-screen film installation by Helen Knowles that ex
 plores value systems and wealth disparity. \n\nThe four films are compos
 ed of auction scenes\, performances and choral interludes from different
  communities\, including prison inmates\, market shoppers\, buyers at So
 theby’s auction house and attendees to the Ethereal Summit in New York. 
 When installed\, the films will be operated by a coin machine/sculpture 
 which will convert sterling coins to crypto-currency. This transaction w
 ill activate the installation and make payments to the film participants
  via the blockchain each time the work is viewed.\nHelen Knowles and blo
 ckchain machine designer\, Daniel Dressel\, will introduce the coin mach
 ine/sculpture and will explain how it was made and what it does. They wi
 ll lead a group workshop on the blockchain to demystify and instigate id
