Kennismaking met Blockchain, Faircoin & FreedomCoop
Perspectieven op de blockchain-technologie
In deze showcase worden verschillende perspectieven op de blockchain-technologie gepresenteerd. Naast de drie video essays 'Change Everything Forever' (een Furtherfield film in samenwerking met Digital Catapult - Pete Gomes en Ruth Catlow), 'Blockchain, an architecture of control?' van Louise Drulhe en 'V-formation, a freedom coop’ van Sue Ferge, zal Pieter Heremans experimenteren met de visualisatie van Faircoin blockchain transacties.
De presentatie focust o.m. op de sociale cryptovaluta Faircoin en de bijbehorende FreedomCoop. Faircoin claimt het eerste, eerlijk verdeelde, cryptogeld te zijn. Freedom Coop is een activistische juridische structuur, die toolkits aanbiedt voor self-management, zelfstandig ondernemerschap, economische autonomie en financiële ongehoorzaamheid voor individuen en groepen, die streven naar eerlijkere sociale en economische relaties. Faircoin en FreedomCoop worden geïnitieerd door FairCoop.
