A publication by @RadxChange, exploring new ideas about economics, democracy, and the relationship between technology and power.
If our societies are irreversibly technological, we must steer technology itself towards the common good, rather than accept it as an instrument of self-interest.
To do that, our essays will examine institutional reconfigurations that can point to attractive futures for technologically mature societies—eschewing compounding power concentrations and opening up routes for more participatory paradigms.
Our aim is to illuminate new possible paths, spotlighting connections between ideas, technologies, and social and political organization—to find maps of the present moment that might help us navigate it.
The name Combinations reflects a belief that significant human progress often emerges at the junctures where diverse experiences and even paradoxical ideas can meet, exchange, and recombine. In this spirit, we offer our own, partial viewpoints, and seek to shed light on the work of thinkers and doers who have other perspectives. We believe that these people, ideas, and communities add up to more than the sum of their parts.

Before slowly moving into the summer break, we are happy to finally unveil the inaugural Seed of our first Research and Design Arc, centered on the research of the Possible Cinema Protocol 🏵️
To reach this ambitious goal, Meshdia will protocolize new interaction modes with films, playing with different ways of engagement between the viewer and the moving image 👁️👁️
🕳️ These fragments will provide seeds for future invitations to playable labour-prototypes. Stay in the loop by joining Meshdia’s Telegram channel, which you'll find from the link in the bio.
Huge thanks to everyone who came and played with us!
From snapshots of life to desired possibilities for the future, we weaved together branches of how labor could evolve, beyond its current, constricting confines
Meshdia will be presented in Berlin on 19.07 at @SavvyArtSpace within the frame of the exhibition “Labo*r AN INVITATION TO ACTION… A BASIS FOR HOPE” in a collective dialogue among @1yunglong, Abhishek Nilamber and Pekko Koskinken🛠 ️
