White Papers on Dissent - Programme on the politics and poetics of Blockchain
White Papers on Dissent Programme on the politics and poetics of 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.
Blockchain for Social Good
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.
