# LWC | Week 2 Exercise

> 2 months from now... what kind of project, publication, label do I want to be a part of? What KIND of project is that?

A convival, small scale and high-trust collective of people that have come together through very niche, very unorthodox and weird interests and backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of form and format in terms of publishing ideas and doing work.

A quasi artistic, quasi-researcher, quasi nomadic group.

> Configuration of humans and how I fit in?

I like Richard Florida's notion of the "creative class". These people are a mix of hackers, hipsters, hippies (and hermetics) sometimes embodying all of these to a certain degree. I am more of a hipster, so my contribution is always one of being mindfull of culture-buidling, good aesthetic standards of work, aiming for cultural novelty and emeregence and making interesctions between diffetrent projects happen.

> You decide to start your project by writing a manifesto stating your key intentions. What are ideas you are sharing?

- A move away from usual forms of software and publishing (even web3), embodying the OG FOSS mentality.
- A defense of a modern nomadic (or nomadological) lifestyle where movement between very different cultures and forms of life is encouraged.
- A defense of a post-individualist way of building relations.
- A post-capitalist direction.

> Imagine some of the key pieces or releases of this group. Try writing down the names and content of 5 works this group would produce:

1. After Design: Thinking about technology in action rather than in construction
2. The 4H: The political struggle of the creative class
3. The Future moves throught the Past
4. How to be between Worlds: Academia, Tech and Underground Art Scenes
