Get your copy of our new zine, Sacred Stacks: The Art of Cyborg Community
During the second half of 2022, MEDLab led seven communities to explore together the needs, ethics, and challenges of emerging decentralized technologies. What began as an errant search for practical tools became an exploration of ritual, relationship, and poetics. This fully illustrated, 80-page zine compiles reflections and learnings from the Sacred Stacks cohort.
The result, if we may say so, is beautiful.
Thanks to a partnership with Metalabel—the new project of a Kickstarter co-founder and a co-op veteran, and other talented folks—we are releasing the zine as a limited-edition NFT. The proceeds will go to the participating communities and contributors. But the zine is also free for everyone. Get yours here:
