Blockchain, Dafne+, NFTS, Digital communities
We delved into navigating intangible technologies within the framework of fundamental topics such as globalization, technology, and social dynamics. These elements weave the tapestry of our current society, presenting us with both challenges and opportunities. Collaborating with SODA in Manchester, we immersed ourselves in the realm of blockchain, focusing on distributed design and exploring how we can design with values. Additionally, we learned about decentralized digital communities and how we can re design new Systems for.
Tech - Magical Futures - Open source
Elinor Ostrom was a Nobel Prize-winning economist and political scientist known for her research on common pool resources. She showed that communities can effectively manage shared resources without top-down regulation or privatization.
The decentralized technological communities that apply Ostrom's principles to govern blockchain systems often overlook the importance of context. A sustainable system is one that can meet the needs of current and future generations while preserving natural resources and ecological processes that sustain those needs. When we use the term 'sustainable' to describe a system's ability to maintain its functions, resilience, and adaptability over time, we recognize its relevance in a more human sense. Futures responsibly open.
Exploring new narratives in our processes of evolution is a journey that fills me with curiosity and inspiration. Immersing ourselves in the idea of 'Technocratic Magical Thinking,' it recognizes the importance of not limiting our magical thinking only to new technologies but opening ourselves to a broader and balanced approach. Creating languages for the new, new perceptions of our context that require new strategies.
It aspires to move beyond the belief that technology is the sole answer to our social development, envisioning a future where innovation is infused with core values: interdependence, social responsibility, respect for nature, personal transformation, and appreciation for beauty. Seeking to transcend the obsession with power and capital, focusing on building a world where technology not only progresses but also preserves the essence of our humanity, I am energized to continue these explorations. Exploring the great mystery of the unknown in this context (XXI) like Mina.
After absorbing the tools from the seminar, we decided to combine various strategies to address our central concern, the loss of biodiversity. We created a physical kit that guides people in applying the principles of honorable harvest:
*Transparent box with PULSE filters: It acts as a filter in combination with PULSE sensors to capture signals from plants when asking for permission. This helps people understand plants more deeply.
*Matryoshka set: Designed to take only what is necessary based on the size and fruiting of the plant, promoting responsible harvesting.
*Gloves: Symbol of being gentle and respectful during the harvesting process.
*Portable digester: To process waste and return nutrients to the plant as a gesture of gratitude.
This kit is integrated into the Dafne+ platform, and we've created a DAO strategy to encourage everyone's participation. The collective DAO brings together people who want to incorporate honorable harvest into their urban lives from various perspectives, including knowledge, reflections, practices, documentation, know-how, and biodiversity care. This strategy aims to engage the community at large, creating a collective space to share knowledge, thoughts, and practices related to biodiversity and honorable harvest.
Getting to know all these tools and languages in the seminar can be summed up in two words: Relief and Collective Support. Delving into the concepts of digital governance and methods that are already being explored eases understanding these active realities where collectivism and the sense of creating community empower us with the new languages of the digital era.
It's also essential to carefully observe from which perspective we view these digital languages and technology. We still carry the noise of our anthropocenic era; that's why I feel expansion when we consider other intelligences, non-human, non-rational, in our process of creating tech. I call it ritualizing our creative process, something that I personally keep very much in mind in my role as a creator. Therefore, the conversation with AX Mina felt supportive, a permission to continue exploring, a permit for amplitude, and an invitation to the creative intention that we can cultivate together with new physical and digital technologies. We have questioned the myths of cyberspace and the linear vision of progress.
As Vincent Mosco mentions, "we must free ourselves from the notion that the future is a pure extension of logic and technical progress. Exploring our rituals and connecting with nature will help us overcome this limited vision".
A Global collaboration, connecting communities, recognizing trends, embracing technology, and fostering value-based practices.
