Programme on the politics and poetics of Blockchain

Blockchain

White Papers on Dissent is a public programme on the politics and poetics of Blockchain as a tool for radical imagination. Through panel discussions, artist talks, participatory events, and a podcast White Papers on Dissent aims to collectively practice the making of the world otherwise. By thinking through the technology it rehearses new social and political imaginaries. White Papers on Dissent intends to move away from the economic discourse surrounding blockchain to understand technology as a social apparatus. It investigates how technology can re-address power structures, create alternative forms of governance, and generate new forms of digital activism supporting commons-oriented ecosystems. CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS Geert Lovink, Emiliano Treré, Black Swan (Penny Raffety, Laura Lotti, Calum Bowden ), Larisa Blazic, Balázs Bodó, Daphne Dragona, Shintaro Miyazaki, Christopher Kulendran Thomas (RadicalXMarkets), Yin Aiwen, Allie Rutherford, Maksym Rokmaniko (DOMA), David Rozas (P2P Models), Julio Linares (Circles UBI).
