We Are Millions building a better Web
From 1–21 March, artists, gamers, developers, activists, crypto and non-crypto people will come together in the 2nd Fair Data Society Festival & Hackathon, organised by Swarm & Partners.
Join WAM and make your voice count ->
We all know the internet is broken. The only question is: what are we going to do about it?
Imagine a society where human rights are respected and your data is not used against you just to sell you more things or influence what you think. Imagine a society where data is used for the common good and value is distributed fairly.
Would you rather live in a world broken by corporate web giants or one where you can honestly say, “I helped build this.”?
Learn. Connect. Build. Play.
This is your call to adventure. Join other like-minded artists, gamers, developers, activists, crypto enthusiasts, the curious, and the knowledgeable. Together, you can explore the power of art, blockchain, and games to create a fair and ethical, private, censorship-free, permissionless and unstoppable Web3. We are a force that makes the world a better, more accessible, more connected, and more enjoyable place.
WAM, NFT, DAO, FTW!
For three weeks in March, we will learn together through talks and workshops, and explore how new technologies can meaningfully improve our lives and experiences. Host a talk, share your wisdom. The call for participation will go out this Friday, so stay tuned.
For three weeks in March, we will connect and build a better Web, a better future. Together.
We will be experimenting with game mechanics and NFTs to see how they can enable playful collaboration. Expect worthless NFT drops that will hopefully make the experience priceless and soul-bound. Expect Resistance, the game and NFTs that will make the hackathon fun and exciting. You might come for the loot, but hopefully you’ll stay for the community and shared purpose.
We will be experimenting with DAOs and how they can facilitate collaboration. If we are successful, the result will be a WAM DAO with you as a founding member (maybe those NFTs won’t be totally worthless after all). A DAO that awards grants to support an ethical Web3, a DAO that enables new initiatives that build a free and fair world, a DAO that predicts the future of a fair data society.
Important dates:
- 21 February: Create your WAM avatar. (date was updated)
- 1 March: WAM Launch
- 21 March: WAM Awards (closing event).
Tracks:
Art, Music, Activism, Privacy, DAO, dAapps & Web3, Liberate data, Game development and much more (tba)!
Location: online, HQ on Discord
Instead of “Don’t be evil,” embrace “Can’t be evil.”
They say the best way to predict the future is to build it. This is bigger than any one person or project. Only together can we build a free and fair future. Freedom is not a solo endeavour.
So, who if not us? When, if not now? Let’s make it count. Let us not fuck it up this time and build it the right way.
