What will happen in your session?

We plan to invite people with a variety of creative approaches, diverse backgrounds and interests in a commons based open vision of collaboration to create a thematic space over the whole weekend. People will experience in a variety of creative, innovative and collaborative events the variety of opportunities that will be available in an online Commons Platform and will be able to exchange skills, ideas and contacts. As well as exploring ideas through art and music people could conduct interviews and create podcasts. The whole thing might function as an interactive art installation based around a ‘tree’ with different ‘branches’ representing different thematic elements relating to a collaborative approach to decentralisation.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

People will have the opportunity to come and relax together and exchange ideas and explore what decentralisation really means to them and each other and why it is useful in developing their own communities. We will be exploring how we bring that into relationships and how we can bring it here, to Mozfest. As well as collecting ideas and developing conversations around them we will be creating the conditions for people to continue networking and collaborating with those they encounter.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
