Future Me: Fair Future(s) - An International Creative Jam for Digital Expression

23rd January to 26th January
Hybrid four-day international creative jam featuring talks, workshops, and self-organised working sessions. SODA’s Future Me event offers a dynamic exploration of emerging themes and hands-on experience in the evolving landscape of creative industries and decentralized governance.
This activity is offered as part of Future Me Week - five days of exciting opportunities to develop your skills, deepen understanding, gain experience and take steps towards an exciting Future You.

International participants from Manchester and Barcelona will form teams to actively discuss concepts such as Digital Commons and Governance in Distributed Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) within the context of creative industries, and craft future scenarios that reflect on the upholding perma/poly crisis. During the working sessions, the teams will develop innovative, new governance and economic models. The objectives of the teams are to collectively develop a digital and/or physical artifact that will make tangible alternative modes of operation and creative expression existing within in the co-developed speculative scenarios. 

 

The resulting projects will be presented on the online platform DAFNE+, an EU research project designed to assist digital content creators in discovering new potentials for creation, distribution, and monetisation through blockchain technology. 

 

This event is presented by SODA’s Dafne+ research project in collaboration with Fab Lab Barcelona.
