Convivial Infrastructures

Systemic Problem
Most digital infrastructures increase dependency rather than autonomy. They extract value rather than distribute it. They centralize control rather than enable participation.
Existing Landscape
Digital infrastructure development is dominated by corporate and state actors with little participatory governance.
What We Build
We design commons-based systems, peer-to-peer platforms, and governance toolkits that increase collective autonomy.
Our Role
This is a cross-cutting research and design program that informs all our initiatives.
Evaluation Strategy
We assess autonomy, participation, and sustainability of infrastructures.
