Live Events
On the occasion of Berlin Science Week, LAS Art Foundation presented terra0: Autonomous Forest, a multifaceted artwork that rethinks land ownership through blockchain-based governance. Opening the project was a series of in-person discussions that took place 6, 7 and 8 November. These are followed by an NFT sale, which enables holders of cryptocurrency worldwide to acquire both an artwork and a place in the DAO that stewards the forest together through the non-profit organisation, or Verein.

After the successful presentation of terra0’s Autonomous Forest in November, a project in which a German forest is managed by a blockchain-based DAO, we now invite anyone interested to purchase an NFT. The NFT serves both as an artwork and as a membership token for the community, merging the legal framework of a German Verein with the openness and accountability of blockchain technology.
Anyone can purchase an NFT with the cryptocurrency ETH directly through the terra0 website (https://autonomousforest.org/de), where the NFT sale is hosted. Priced between 0.08 and 0.1 ETH, each NFT supports the Verein financially, providing funds for the future purchase of forest land,while also granting voting rights within the community. Through the DAO, members and token holders can participate in decisions on administrative matters, making this a collaborative project that continues to grow.
Each NFT of Autonomous Forest corresponds to a specific parcel of the forest, mapped through a custom geohash grid that links physical land directly to the Ethereum blockchain. Each grid cell covers an area roughly 9.54 × 12.38 meters at Berlin’s latitude, making the NFT not just a digital token but a direct index to a tangible, measurable piece of land.
The NFTs in Autonomous Forest can be staked to acquire voting rights within the association’s Community Council (DAO). Staked NFTs become non-transferable, separating governance from market speculation, while unstaked NFTs remain freely tradable. This means that owning governance tokens is legally equivalent to membership in the Community Council.
