Self-Organization And New Possible Worlds
The vision of the possibility of a better world or future has been lost. Vision has been lost in utopias and new forms of organization, and has been replaced by a cynical resignation and acceptance of the world as it is established and as it has been imposed on us.
Moreover, it has been coupled with the prevailing idea (paradoxical in itself), that, if one wants to change too much of what is established, a totalitarian horror will await us. The interests of those who do not want change towards a general benefit, no longer seek to destroy or dissipate those actions that try to change or reorganize what does not work, or to resist the few who take advantage of the many. They seek to dismantle the hope for change, showing it as something impossible linked to the immediate denunciation of any new approach, project or criticism of the instituted, pointing it out as something totalitarian or as a fallacy.
This absence of hope cuts creativity and predominates in the general visions of the world, especially in the stories we tell and consume through the different media. These tend to be dystopias of totalitarian or authoritarian orders; dramas of the current world, with nothing new to offer; the end of the world as we know it due to some catastrophe or alien apocalypse that disturbs our "calm and perfect lives", and that there must be someone or several exceptional people who save the day to return to normality; or uchronias, where the second parts are left owing, or in which the end ends up being another apocalypse.
The group proposes the search for new forms of organization in the different social spheres of the human being, such as the family, studies and learning, work, forms of production and economy, etc. Looking for inspiration in other self-organized systems, from different fields of frontier sciences, such as the crossings between biology, psychology, physics, anthropology, ethology, arts, etc.
Exquisite Corpse Network
The group collaboratively created a multiple work, experimenting with the possibility of creating in a decentralized network. Addressing the theme of the group, the participants created a piece in any technique and shared it digitally with three more participants, who in turn, upon receiving the three reference works, created a new piece and sent it to three more people. Thus, the creation process managed to interconnect the ideas and processes of all the creatives and instead of a single piece, an ecosystem of works was obtained whose components were transformed progressively and asynchronously in the process.
