Workshop: A Circulation of Circuits

Hereby we would like to invite you for a ‘cashy’ workshop session that we organise with Hackers & Designers on March 11th. This one-day workshop session is meant for designers who are interested in becoming part of the development and launch of a redefined (speculative) monetary system.

The project A Circulation of Circuits aims for a new perspective and understanding of monetary transactions within the European Union. In this project a fictional European currency is developed and comes into being through the work of European artists and designers. The works of artists and designers will be saved onto compact high performance computers and will become a medium of exchange. Unlike our contemporary currency, the location of this monetary unit can be tracked by connecting to the internet through API’s. In contrast to a conventional bank account, it would be possible to track the physical movement of currency, its location and exchange rate. Our goal is to initiate a redefined and independent currency that, by innovative means, can integrate into the everyday reality of the citizen.

A Circulation of Circuits is originally initiated by Martijn van Boven, Noortje van Eekelen and Doeke Wartena, together with collective supports from an international group of experts from different fields.

The workshop is meant for approximately 15 designers who, preferably, have some technical experience and knowledge. Admission is free. As space for the workshop is limited, please let us know before March 6th if you would like to join this session via: info@circulationofcircuits.net
