Many Indigenous movements occurred due to the injustice inheritance of colonial history as many governments had appropriated Indigenous traditional territory through its legal and contractual systems. The dispute between the government, the company, and the local communities has never ceased. For the recent case of Katratipur Solar Farm dispute and Asian Cement company are in such case.

Decolonize the Land
Forkonomy() was initially developed in Taipei, Taiwan, the ancestral land of the indigenous Kavalan people. Historically, colonial powers such as Japan and the Republic of China (ROC) government have sought to pacify the island's inhabitants. Much like Ireland's experience with British colonization, Taiwan's land has been heavily influenced by these colonial structures and requires reform.

Forkonomy() Origins

How to buy/own/mint one millilitre of the ocean from the South China Sea? (guided by such a speculative question that takes the figurative and pirated material— the South China Sea as our object of study)

boundaries are constructed only in relation to land: three-mile zone and the two 12 miles international boundaries follow the coast line (UNCLOS 10 December 1982).


  • One of the world’s most heavily trafficked waterways for international trade
  • Geopolitical site: one of the most disputable sea areas in the world over the territorial claims
  • Multiple Asian governments assert sovereignty over rocks, reefs, as well as other geographic features and undersea natural resources.

South China Sea Politics

Why choosing South China Sea as a figurative and pirated object (of study) to think about forkonomy, digital commons and piracy?

  • Geopolitical site & colonial power (not only about the sea but natural resources e.g huge oil and gas reserves, economic trade, international relations, space, rights/power struggles)
    • the sea gives an enormous trade value, military value, and world power.
  • Indigenous territory issues (land/Sea/rights/ownership/contract)
  • Buying/Owning (contract/licensing)
  • Commoning (beyond privatized and state-owned property)
    • resource for the communities
    • grassroots
    • code of conduct: how to operate in a fair, open, diverse, and more equal fashion

Forkonomy() Versioning

Forkonomy = Forking + Economy

In the project Forkonomy(), we are interested in rethinking the politics of our contemporary economic and technical-cultural systems. By employing free and open source software and decentralized protocols, we set the participatory project as a commoning ship for people of the pacific who want to queer and care the matters of hierarchies, ownership, gendered labour division, as well as to fight against the constant threats of maintaining a high degree of autonomy regarding the land and the sea. Forkonomy() shall sail the economy and autonomy into a queer ocean of freedom and the sea of commonwealth.

Goal: How can the South China Sea be co-managed by the people around the world(beyond nations)?

How to run a queer economy?

  1. Share any incidents of discrimination, unkindness or disrespect that you have experienced in other communities?
  2. Take a look at different codes of conduct (you may find some on your own)
  3. Highlight those you want to include them.
  4. Are there any rules/terms that you want to propose/modify?

    • decentralized network and protocols
    • selling 1 millilitre of water (ownership via contract)
    • contract (EN, CN, Code)
    • unlimited edition (vs limited edition) -> unlimited water owners (initial 10,000 edition)
    • challenge the notion of privatized assets in the capitalistic economy
