What does DisCO governance accomplish? It encourages and rewards all types of work: care, love and livelihood. It values forms of power to act and highlights effective and movement building work, which is often hidden. It optimally balances the workload to avoid activist burnout. It creates community empowered platforms for sustainable activism.

In September of 2023 we gathered a diverse cohort of activists, technologists, researchers and musicians to explore this question. We asked ourselves:

1) What technologies do we want less of?
2) What does Anticapitalist, Decolonial and Intersectional Feminist technology look like?
3) What if tech was more like music?

“So, even if you’re a sassy quadruped like me, this comprehensive overview will help you follow the rhythm pretty easily. However, getting familiar with the moves does require practice. But don’t despair, if you have some sardines to spare, I’m more than happy to guide you.”

Welcome to the new DisCO Website! Here to accompany you through the Burning 20’s and beyond. Also features the DisCO Basics – our new interactive introduction to DisCO.

Although a system of individual results promotes efficiency in operations, it often does not reserve time or energy to write down what has already been done to generate collective learning.

This epic interview with myself, the DisCO CAT, was originally published in Radical Friends – Decentralised Autonomous Organisations and the Arts edited by Ruth Catlow and Penny Rafferty. Go buy three copies now and enjoy this exclusive director’s cut of my purr-tastic diatribes.

Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as sun is to moon. Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as day is to night. Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as science and technology are to occult and spirituality. Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as solar panels are to bioluminescence. Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as flowers are to fungi. Solarpunk is to Lunarpunk as orange, red, and yellow are to black, silver, and blue.

The New Orbit is just around the corner and we thought it would be thoughtful and nice to offer you faithful hooman readers a little recap on all things DisCO, especially those things that weren’t included in previous issues of the newsletter. So, consider this a chance to get a glimpse behind the curtains… (cat-damn maze of curtains, once got lost there for half a day…!)
