Living Data Systems: Co-Designing Community-Based Methods And Local Technologies For Inclusive Socioeconomic Alternatives
Carlos Guerrero Millan · 2023
This research project aims to collaborate with underserved communities leading social justice efforts through alternative economic practices, in the co-creation of a data model based on sets that members can collect to represent meaningful, contextual and social information. Data, understood from a cooperative-value and qualitative perspective, could be interesting for the common use of the group to interpret and exchange through non-monetary transactions, in contrast to the predominantly capital value mainstream networks. This system could facilitate group conversations on collective appropriation, ownership and adaptation processes through the co-design of local, situated technologies and alternative outputs of information. Furthermore, it could be significant for existing practices and goals around socioeconomic change, autonomy or activism.
