As crypto has increasingly come to reproduce the power dynamics it set out to challenge, community governance matters more than ever.
Come celebrate the launch of our latest book: How to Exit to Community: A Cookbook for Blockchain Communities, by Tara Merk, Primavera De Filippi, Morshed Mannan, Nathan Schneider, and Danny Spitzberg.
For anyone who cares about decentralizing governance and giving online communities power over the infrastructures they use this is an unmissable event.
Co-hosted by Metagov, BlockchainGov, the E2C Collective, and the Media Economies Design Lab.

OFF-GRID AESTHETICS | WHERE THE AI PROMPT CANNOT GO
Text-based diffusion models have made navigating a model’s latent space as easy as typing a sentence, but also create a “golden cage” of familiar and hyper-optimized forms. Primavera De Filippi (@yaoeo) argues that a genuinely AI-native aesthetic lies elsewhere, in the uncharted regions of the model that no prompt can reach

The Politics of Privacy 📚 our upcoming book series on #power, #autonomy, and #democracy → web3privacynow.metalabel.com… — out June 14.
Featuring Primavera de Filippi (@yaoeo) & @felix_beer ’s essay: “Network Nations: Reconfiguring Sovereignty in the Digital Age”
Drawing from their work across the @BKCHarvard, @CNRS, and @metalabharvard, Primavera and Felix examine how decentralized technologies and new institutional models can create more participatory, adaptive, and democratic forms of coordination.
Primavera’s influential research on #blockchain #governance and digital commons, alongside Felix’s work on institutional innovation, protocol governance, and collective intelligence, grounds the essay in both critical theory and practical experimentation.
Together, they offer a compelling vision for how emerging technologies can strengthen cooperation across differences while rethinking the social infrastructures that underpin democratic life.

INSIDE ‘STRANGE RULES’ → An exploration of Protocol Art at Palazzo Diedo by Primavera De Filippi @yaoeo
Protocol Art starts with an idea: what if the artwork isn't the object, but the system that produces it? Strange Rules, on view at Palazzo Diedo in Venice, is an exhibition that frames this as a movement in its own right, gathering works by Harold Cohen, @trevorpaglen, @hollyherndon and @matdryhurst, @_terra0, Fabien Giraud, and others who have handed creative agency to systems, networks, and code.
We're sharing an essay written by one of the artists in the show, Primavera De Filippi, that traces the lineage behind Protocol Art and asks what it really means to be an author when the work keeps making itself long after you've left the room.
↓ Read an excerpt below.
