Nope! Not yet. I tried convincing some fellow classmates of this over the years but not much else heh. It would be fun to eventually build a prototype of this and do some fun talks on it though later on...

In true punk fashion* not untrue lol

But anyway, the dream is a sort of shared spaces where our artifacts from one another can linger on top of the existing space of the web.

Yeah! My original hopes and dreams were with them. But it didn't have success in a broader sense. I could conjecture reasons, but would love to know for sure why it never caught on.

Hell yeah, we can de-shittify the web together.

Well, reddit is a separate space we inhabit and much of reddit can exist without anything else on the web. I am not interested in small, closed gardens, separate from the world. More like, planting flowers directly onto pathways and windows and cracks in pavement.

I started thinking about the role of graffiti in society years ago - a tag, a mark, art, and rebellion. It's a re-claiming of infrastructure that has become hostile to movement. It's a reminder of someone's presence. And, untrue punk fashion, we can even use this petit anarchism to repair our world.

Yeah!! This is my dream of a better web.

And yes, some folks are experimenting with this. On the one hand, the technology part of it is easy. But on the other: getting people to share this space is hard. Who would want to live above ground, if there isn't any clear reason why we should yet?

I think this tech still needs its "killer app."

They did such an awesome job on these!

Omg yes, I need this right now.

Read the book itself if you want something longer too! www.wiley.com/en-us/Anothe...

Another absolutely crisp piece. Beautiful.
