Some snapshots from our workshop at @GrayAreaorg Festival!

It was a full house — thank you to everyone who joined us and built unique worlds in Fuser, and to the festival for having us.

'Prosthetic Pixels: Worldbuilding with AI, Style & Self' was led by our founders, @dalenaxtran and @hiradsab. Participants teamed up to imagine speculative futures, and we were truly amazed by the results — each group created distinctive and inspiring worlds.

If you’re interested in bringing a Fuser workshop to your community, reach out and lets plan one!

Our world runs on maps.

As dependence on location data grows, so does the need for resilient, verifiable infrastructure.

The @easierdataorg Decentralized Geospatial Collaborative is building open source tools that make geospatial data easier to store, share, and trust.
