Digital Commoning Practices

Following last week lectures on "Intersecting Commons" lecture series, 
this week will focus on "Commoning Education / Educating the Commons" 
from 18.03 till 20.03 starting 19:00 UTC+2.

The collaborative initiative Station of Commons finds form in the 
exhibition "Digital Commoning Practices" in March 2021 hosted in the 
artist run gallery Oksasenkatu11 in Helsinki.

The exhibition "Digital Commoning Practices" departs from Station of 
Commons; a practice of re-appropriation of technology as Commons within 
public space, which stands for radical alternative strategies to the 
neo-liberal system in terms of digital means of production, 
communication and distribution. "Digital Commoning Practices" starts 
with a question: How to think of a collaborative process embedded in 
technology that can find form into new knowledge and know-hows within, 
against and beyond capitalist modes of production?

"Educating the Commons and Commoning Education"
by Gregoire Rousseau and Nora Sternfeld in dialogue.

All over the world, education – which could be understood as a universal 
right and public good – is facing processes of economization and 
privatization. Technology – which could be understood as a common means 
of production, collaboratively developed – is taken away from the public 
and put into corporate hands. This conversation investigates the 
question of shared and common knowledge from the perspectives of an 
educator and an engineer, respectively.
