Current project
Decrypting blockchain in arts & heritage
Tori's research is a retrospective analysis of the highly publicised blockchain experiments from 2019 to 2022 in the arts and heritage sector. Specifically, her research considers the museological and political implications of these experiments, uncovering how notions of ownership were reconfigured on individual and national scales. This research aims to show how emerging technologies and patterns of hype have impacted the sector more broadly.

The case study considers the digitisation of Michelangelo's Doni Tondo at the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. The production of a certificated and licensed digital edition (NFT) of this celebrated public work occurred at the height of the pandemic, promising revived revenue streams and appeal to a new generation of investors. This experiment will be analysed through in-depth interviews and discourse analysis
