The project involves creating graffiti artworks featuring the Kusama logo in various cities, commencing with Barcelona. The process encompasses designing a template, and paint it with black spray in urban locations. Each graffiti piece will then be photographed and transformed into a non-fungible token (NFT), minted on the Kusama blockchain.
In the future, we anticipate individuals utilizing our template to make their own graffiti in different cities, financed by the treasury and upload it to the blockchain. Each graffiti point needs to be geolocated, enabling visits to these locations as if they were sanctuaries during travels. A symbolic gesture of reverence&mdash;bending the knee in front of the Kusama logo&mdash;is encouraged. Cities must have a population exceeding 2,000,000, and once a city is adorned, it cannot be repeated.
Inspired by Foucault's analysis of panopticism as a power mechanism, we propose subverting this paradigm. Placing the Kusama logo strategically in urban settings transforms it into a symbol of rebellion&mdash;an inversion of the panoptic gaze. Each graffiti piece disrupts passive surveillance, converting public spaces into active sites of resistance. Drawing further inspiration from Paul B. Preciado, our graffiti project becomes a performative act challenging conventional discourse surrounding public space.
To sum up: A swift template of the KSM logo, creating graffiti, capturing it in a photo, uploading the NFT on StateMine, and geolocating it for others to visit and bend the knee. 
Allocation:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Idea: 69 KSM
Risk+Expenses: 42 KSM (spray, template, time etc..)
&nbsp;
We propose these rules for participants in this Project for the first 10 cities:
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 42 KSM (max allocation)
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; City must be &gt;2,000,000 population or the most populated city in the country. (for example: Vatican City)
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can&rsquo;t repeat cities
&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Photo of the NFT. Upload it and geolocate it.

Milestone 1: On-Chain Tournaments & Smart Contract.

Milestone 2: Mobile Application Development.

Milestone 3: Player vs Player Mode.

Problem Statement:
- The problem is the passive surveillance and lack of active resistance in public spaces, which is a power mechanism that needs to be subverted.

Significance:
- By strategically placing graffiti featuring the Kusama logo in urban settings, it becomes a symbol of rebellion and challenges the conventional discourse surrounding public space.

Proposed Solution:
- Create graffiti artworks featuring the Kusama logo in various cities, starting with Barcelona, and transform each piece into a non-fungible token (NFT) minted on the Kusama blockchain.

Expected Outcomes:
- Each graffiti piece disrupts passive surveillance and converts public spaces into active sites of resistance.
- Participants can upload the NFT and geolocate it for others to visit and engage in a symbolic gesture of reverence.
