'The Transfer Economy' with Joss Sessions

We have rapidly adopted humanity’s greatest technological marvel, the internet. In our everyday lives we are increasingly citizens of places and actor/users of online spaces. We interact, react and augment our everyday choices in sequences of spiralling consequences. All of which is based on existing and emerging volumes of information. But how does this information relate to (y)our wants, needs, rights and aspirations? To (y)our context.

The Transfer Economy seeks to aid the navigation of the hyper connected being in relation to their connected communities throughout their augmented (combined) environments to reveal information supply chains and flows. The aim is to protect personal privacy but recognise the active and passive value of our everyday transfers of information, where it is utilised and at what price, and how it contributes to a re-growth of economy that is not simply driven by unfettered consumption. These ideas, models and reasonings are still fermenting so I present to you, this group for ‘friendly' review, discussion, and who knows, collaboration to build a movement of action for hope.
