It's a few weeks to DWeb Camp! You're getting things together to arrive in California. Come learn about who else will be at Camp!

About this event

Excited about DWeb Camp? Curious about who will be there and what projects you will learn about? We are too!

We met some of these folks in July and will give you another chance in early August to meet them and ask any questions you have about camp. You'll be hearing from:

  • Laura Lotti and Calum Bowden of Black Swan LARP
  • Santiago Bazerque of Hyper Hyper Space
  • Jay Carpenter discussing the DWeb Directory
  • Andi Wong who will be talking about the BE WATER Way Station
  • Heather Vescent, Storj
  • Eric Bear, Holochain
  • Danny O'Brien, Filecoin Foundation
  • MetaGov's Cent Hosten & Tony Lai

We hope hearing what others are bringing to DWeb Camp will spark your own offerings. Afterwards, we will have a Q and A with these folks and be available to answer any questions you might have about DWeb Camp.

Lightning Talk Speakers

DWeb August Meetup - Projects and Presentations at DWeb Camp image

Laura Lotti (above) investigates the social architecture of networked organisations and cultural economy of web3. She is a researcher at Other Internet and is co-developing Black Swan.

Black Swan is a Berlin-based collective pursuing horizontal and decentralized approaches to the traditional art world templates for art making. Through peer support, artist-led funding and community organizing, they place resources into the hands of the users rather than the gatekeepers of the arts. Black Swan is developing digital toolkits for artists through a methodology that puts play at the center. Existing communities of creative practitioners are invited to test and experiment with forms of interaction, modes of organization, and sustainable economic models in role-playing events, working groups, and hackathons. Through play, Black Swan is building an open-source and interoperable protocol for artistic communes, which will enable collaborative institutional forms and allow for a redefinition of what art can be. Black Swan is currently maintained by Laura Lotti, Penny Rafferty, Calum Bowden, and Leïth Benkhedda.
