We have something a little bit different for y’all this week! Rudy was on a panel in March as part of a book tour for Nathan Schneider’s Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life, where he discussed his community bank account project, Paper Tree, among a host of other NYC-based projects and how it factors into a larger discussion about organizing in online spaces. Really enlightening discussion about the possibilities available to us in such a hierarchical, hostile structure as the internet.
