[This workshop was hosted on February 12, 2020 by the Fair Data Society for Liberate Data Week]

I discuss the concept of the commons and how it might relate to distributed networks, and in particular, to Swarm — a decentralised storage and communication system based on Ethereum.

This presentation is part of a project with Trilateral Research and Swarm, where we’ve received a grant to investigate governance strategies for Swarm based on commons principles.

Our presentation begins at the 1:03:00 mark, with my talk starting at 1:19:00.
