Reading List
I'm starting a list of books, articles and sites to read (or re-read) in the context of my fellowship project. This is just a first quick brain-dump, I'll gradually add more, and include other peoples' suggestions as they come in. Feel free to comment below, or reach out on Twitter or Secure Scuttlebutt (@UhORGzAhEE3gqy/pH5vK+EgbpZfnyYvdI46TVBJH6Mw=.ed25519)
I'm particularly interested in combinations of 2 or more of the following Topics (in no particular order):
- F/LOSS / peer production
- Design / Arts / Illustration / Comics
- decentralization technologies (eg. DAT, ssb)
- vector graphics
- collaborative storytelling / remix
- decolonization
- (networked) activism
- online community
- subjectivity / multiple realities
- internationalization
- collective creativity (i.e. moving away from 'lone genius' creators and The Hero's Journey)
- evolution & adaptation of folk songs, recipes etc to local cultures
