| 2:00pm – 3:15pm | Participatory Governance Tools in Cultural Policy: Decentralisation, cryptocurrencies, blockchains, distributed organisations & digital cooperatives. These buzzwords hold a promise for a future in which governance can and will be more participatory, democratic, diversified and sustainable. In this session Yael Sherill will be joined by Janina Benduski, program director at LAFT Berlin, a prominent local cultural advocacy organisation for the performing arts, to discuss whether and how digital automation could radically advance the aims of the organisation and its tried and tested techno-organisational mechanisms. This discussion will be followed by a session mediated by The Sphere & Curve Labs, in which we will collaboratively explore the grounds for the development and construction of a digital infrastructure for a participatory governance tool to distribute public funding for the Berlin performing arts community. | MoneyLab website | Yael Sherill and Janina Benduski |

| 3:30pm – 5:15pm | The Sphere: Towards New Ecologies of Funding for the Arts: Inspired by the recent innovations in the field of DLT (Blockchain) and P2P contributive economies, The Sphere is a transdisciplinary research-creation project for the development of a digital infrastructure for self-organization in the performing arts. It allows for different actors of the performing arts ecosystem to initiate creative collaborations and implement new funding strategies. This session will be the occasion to creatively explore 3 constitutive dimensions of the Sphere’s commons-oriented approach 1. The Anarchive: a dynamic, process-oriented archive of artistic works that operates as a digital common repository for artistic knowledge and practice; 2. a contributive accounting and IP management system to facilitate collaboration within decentralized open value networks; 3. a cryptoeconomic interface, developed in collaboration with Curve Labs, enabling liquid ownership and dynamic governance structures adapted to the coming economy. A participatory online session by Erik Bordeleau and The Sphere Crew. | MoneyLab website | Erik Bordeleau + Sphere crew |
