Exhibitor Overview
Why Nonterritorial?
The art world wasn't built for artists. Galleries take 50%. NFTs promised revolution but delivered speculation. Geographic access determines opportunity. Sustainable income remains nearly impossible for the 99% of artists outside the blue-chip market.
Nonterritorial exists to change this.
We've built blockchain infrastructure that does something no other system does: it makes speculation technically impossible while ensuring artists earn real money every time their work is experienced.
What We Offer
Guaranteed Income on Every License
When a host licenses your exhibition, you receive 40% of the fee instantly via smart contract. Not royalties dependent on resale. Not exposure. Direct payment, every time.
This isn't a promise—it's architecture. The smart contract executes automatically. No invoicing. No waiting. No intermediaries deciding if or when you get paid.
Global Circulation Without Gatekeepers
Your exhibition can be hosted anywhere in the world: Tokyo, São Paulo, Lagos, Berlin, a village in rural France. You don't need gallery representation in each city. You don't need institutional connections. The network handles distribution.
A café owner in Manila can license the same exhibition as a university in Stockholm. Your work reaches audiences that traditional circulation could never touch.
You Keep Your Rights
Nonterritorial operates on a licensing model, not ownership transfer. You're not selling your work—you're enabling its circulation. You retain all rights. You can show the same work in galleries, sell it to collectors, license it through other channels. We're additive, not exclusive.
Real Audiences, Physical Experience
This isn't JPEGs in wallets or files on servers. Your work is physically exhibited—projected, installed, experienced by people in real spaces. The embodied aesthetic experience that makes moving image art meaningful.
What Artists Earn
The economics are straightforward:
Single Exhibition Example
Average license fee
€3,000
Your share (40%)
€1,200
Typical annual licenses
15-20
Annual income per exhibition
€18,000-24,000
Portfolio Scale
1 exhibition
€18,000-24,000
3 exhibitions
€54,000-72,000
5 exhibitions
€90,000-120,000
These aren't speculative projections. They're based on conservative licensing assumptions as the network scales.
