Q&A #1 - The Governable Space-Makers Fellowship
An open Q&A session for Metagov's Governable Space-Makers Fellowship.
This session will be recorded and posted to the fellowship Open Call page.
This is one of two Q&A sessions.
Brief Fellowship Description:
Where and how governance happens online is evolving:
“A governance layer is beginning to spread across the Internet. Platform cooperatives, data trusts, encrypted chats, mesh networks, blockchain protocols, DAOs, and more are introducing governable spaces where users may choose to exercise more control over their digital lives.” [1]
Governable spaces—systems where users can exercise control and autonomy—present the potential to transform how we think about participation in online environments. How might this potential be activated to enable us to radically re-imagine where and how governance happens online?
The Governable Space-Makers Fellowship will support a team of three fellows to collaborate on the extension of a digital artifact—in this case a piece of digital art—that re-imagines the possibilities of governance in online life—including artistic, technical, and ethnographic approaches.
