Early 2017 and many people began to gather in groupings around the Global Challenges competition that was asking question on the the shape of global governance, how decentralization and fresh paradigms could be applied to the how-we-deal-with-global-issuesMany groupings began to investigate this, with the blockchain being perhaps the most obvious emergent technology that we could be using for these lens. Our team of artists and theater folk and climate justice artivists were initially intruiged by the shape that the mycelium network, decentralised and distributed with every node being autonomous and at the same time an interdependent component (see holacracy)
In order to find the new shapes and patterns, we need to use a new eye. This we consider to be the CitiZen eye, a global view that corresponds to the ´overview effect´, sensing the interconnectedness and interdependence of the myriad components of the complex Earth systems. The CitiZen see himself as a crew member of the Earthship, a responsible and responsive custodian who does not lose personal identity yet gains the communal responsibilities and rewards for being aliveThe digital era affirms this global inter-connection, and as this emergent global consciousness is now able to view itself in the mirror of the Web, we as a planetary awareness is evolving from the old patterns of blinkered capitalism and stupid consumption, to a supra-state (nationless rock floating in space), as we start to close fossil fuel economy and engage more with circular economies, local exchanges and person to person contracts (no third party authorization required) … is based on action research that integrates glocal solutions and scalable transition methodologies like permaculture (2) and transition town(3), with consensus decision making (4) tools and protocols as well as blockchain technology(5), within a framework of how we wish to see the world operating — open and accessible, unrestricted and free, cooperative collaborative co-creation that harnesses collective intelligence and the ‘wisdom of the crowds’. All of this is kept in the perspective of the planetary boundaries and sharing the communal responsibilities and rewards of being CitiZens of the EarthShip Even as the world is figuring out how to define itself, it is figuring out new and fresh ways to solve global issues like inequality and climate change. Technology emerges again to create new paradigms, with 3D printers, AR/VR and quantum computing all about to alter our understanding of what it means to be a human living on Earth (or possibly off-Earth) Our group, in tackling the challenge of imagining and designing a new way we relate to each other globally, found that our group did not have all the skill sets required, which led us to intuite that the new shape of global identity will be a slow process, that through consensus and strength in diversity, a rigid and responsive decentralized system could emerge. Our simple solution to help start this process. Play a game… By using this gaming environment, we become the PlayAgents facilitating communal stories, an active laboratory of discovery and uncovery , integrating and synthesizing through playful, immersive experiences, both off and online. Together we create an abundant functional economical system that is equal and transparent, where the community act together for the global well-being.…..facilitating a gaming simulation to research and foster integrative experiments, to establish a new global government with its own cryptocurrency and a open cooperation decision making process. There are no formal institutions, there are only temporary nodes that are made and unmade in cyclical automated manner that is embedded in the blockchain code itself … a New game, a way to make and take new shapes, all while creating a simulation (to some degree) of this global co-connective and open trust system we seem to be collectively envisioning. And thus, the Play4Life game was launched in September 2017, with the GameDay of GamePlay being 11/11 The first stage of this experiment is in November with the launch of the global collaborative win-win game based in Athens. This game will introduce the concept of playing to different rules (other than competition win-lose) and allow us to develop this model further. We will also begin to introduce the idea of a global citizenship by issuing all players with a global ID that is blockchain-verified, and an embedded digital cryptocurrency wallet that begins to familiarize the technology This game(play4life.ga) is designed to reward cooperation and connection, while connecting autonomous nodes from around the globe who wish to play together P2P. The game itself has taken many forms, starting as a group of crazy artist-dreamers wanting to do a single day Theater of the Oppressedpublic space game/activation, which grew to the idea of having many places in the world interacting with this game, and in some ways, playing the same game, going through the same process, with a gaming mechanism to encourage interactions and inter-dependance, plus the blockchain for its imutable record plus accountability in consensus systems "yes it will take time, yes there is lot of tweaking to be done. but this is time to do it and create a global rewiring from competition to cooperation" At time of writing, the game is in the late-development-phase, with gamemakers across the globe co-sensing and collaborating in a process of ‘designing the game we play in’ This process is still open (not for much longer though) for players on the day and for gamemakers to host nodes to join the game nodes playing on 11/11 in Athens, Bonn, Cape Town and more tbc [email protected] Website: http://play4life.ga TG PlayGroup : t.me/joinchat/FJ4akQ12f3HgyUZy5YivMQ Check out the FaceBook Group If you are a blockchain coder, check out our Bounty
