MoneyLab # 2: Economies of Dissent

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.
