SciFi Economics Residency This is a category for collecting the documentation from the Science Fiction Economics Residency (SFER), held in Messina on 6-10 May 2024. Climate Work For everyone: Post here stories of climate change prevention / adaptation, ecosystem restoration etc… This would be also the place for low-impact living, mobility and infrastructure: airships, houseboats, and so on. Tell us about yourself and your work and ideas, and let’s see what we can do together. For Edgeryders: This is also the public space for the climate change related projects in our company, including: Climate Positive. EIT Climate-KIC started a project called Climate Positive, in which it tries to reduce its own emissions. The major part of them are caused by business travel and commuting. Our role in the project is to help C-KIC to get better at remote collaboration, so that they will need fewer trips. Our “best of” content from that work: the Distributed Collaboration Manual . Scifi Economics Economists, politicians and business leaders, it seems, have given up on trying to imagine completely different economic systems. But we have not. And neither has a small group of brainy, visionary science fiction authors. We organize a meeting of minds where we can learn from each other what future economies might look like. And maybe even how we can help them be born. Playful Futures Playful Futures is a project aiming to develop an online RPG set in the world of Witness. The game is to be used as the “field” for an online ethnography. Use this space to discuss the design and development of the game, and the analysis of the data that result from it. Autarky Lab A place to develop and learn about autarky solutions: technologies, organization techniques and best practices that enable self-sufficient living on the long term. Here, autarky is comprehensive self-supply and self-governance in small social units. It’s the maker’s way of making a living, a solution for political problems with non-political means. It’s how we fix precarious living, excessive consumption, bullshit jobs and politics alike. Solutions documented here are esp. relevant for communal living arrangements. Ideas, instructions and recipes posted here should be do-it-yourself and open source.
