We drive positive change through disruptive innovation.
Artists & collectors exploring: ‘What does a future of humane and nature-friendly technology look like?’
How do we fund a 2 day digital art event in an English Cathedral?
It's going to happen, but I'm interested to try an alternative route, rather than chasing an Arts Council grant. I'd like to at least partner with a crypto art platform or something. I know a lot of people that can help me here, but I don't want to distract artists and curators from whatever they're trying to focus on with my annoying DMs.
Anyway, this Saturday we pop into the 900 year old building for a little test run. Get our foot in the door and get a read of the place. 20+ digital artists, mostly chain agnostic artisans as well as some young local art students.
It's in a Cathedral for all the reasons you might think it shouldn't be. We really think we can make it work. It'll just take a whole bunch of artists, some very long gonfalon banner screens, a handful of holograms, some very powerful projectors and a good sound system. And in an ideal world, @maxcoopermax.
Free entry to this daytime popup. Out for drinks somewhere random afterward. Here are some tasty JPGs to scroll past on your tiny pocket screens in the meantime.

1/Excited to share some new work on collective sensemaking! We’ll present it in the Blue Sky Ideas track (~open, exciting areas for R&D) of the upcoming @ACMHT This is a collective effort of @daostack, Veeo, @InferenceActive@CSenseMakers@HyadataLab https://t.co/JAcnB4YSpk🧵
📢Hey! We've been working with @CSenseMakers on something cool: a content curation service to help #TokenEngineering fulfill the TEC's vision:
Enable the creation of ethical, safe, resilient and diverse economic systems to benefit societies around the world! 🌏🌍🌎
🧵👇
Social media platforms are built on 20 century-style, ad-driven business models. So they have to tweak the platform's affordances unnaturally: instead of harnessing collective intelligence, they need to dumb it down. We cannot change this if the business model remains the same.
⚠️ Humanity is faced with global-scale coordination failures that create #systemic risks to #human thriving.
🌞 We believe that #Web3 is a @schellingpoint_ to build a better #world for our generation...
Great piece by @ConsilienceNews ✨

How to reconfigure socio-technical systems to support mutual understanding rather than weaponization of facts?
This Friday I’ll be speaking about my journey into the CryptoArt scene and how I use @GravitySketch and other tools to create on the border between IRL and URL. It’s be lovely to see some familiar faces in the crowd! It’s free and online. 🙏
We are symbolic species. Collectively, we imagine new order into existence...for better and for worse.
Do you agree that for every dollar and hour we spend on physical technology we should spend a dollar and hour on psychotechologies such as compassion?
