 MoneyLab # 2: Economies of Dissent Strategies and initiatives to defuse
the economic crisis

MoneyLab#2: Economies of Dissent is a symposium organized by the Institute
of Network Cultures on 3 and 4 December 2015 at Pakhuis de Zwijger (Piet
Heinkade 179), Amsterdam.

MoneyLab#2 is an international symposium hosting artists, activists,
programmers and academics who probe, challenge and hack today’s global
economy. What political imperatives shape the economy of dissent? What are
the different views on the redistribution of wealth and the exchange of
value out there? How can we re-design our financial infrastructure?
The initiatives on 3 and 4 December

Two days of talks, performances and workshops unfurl a raft of financial
interventions like visualizations of shadow economies, a guidebook on how
to extort money from banks, Robin Hood-style financial hacks, peer-to-peer
insurance companies, financial leak platforms, and blockchain initiatives
for the commons. A series of hands on workshops will take place throughout
the two days to get you familiar with the latest financial alternatives and
exchange systems that are defining the economies of dissent. Ascribe will
introduce how artists can use the blockchain to regain ownership and
copyright over their digital art and CommonEasy will show how
de-centralized insurance policies can unify communities for the common
good. Artists such as Paolo Cirio will describe how his work dismantles the
corruption of offshore tax havens and Silvio Lurusso will talk on the
deterministic conditions of crowd funding platforms. Over the two days
Moneylab will host over 10 sessions to investigate, uncover and create
alternative models of exchange and economic empowerment.
