When imagining the future, it’s easy to fall in the trap of holding everything constant except the one thing you are focused on. In reality, the future happens manifests itself as the intersection of many changes. Protocol Worlds is an attempt at imagining futures unfold from multiple perspectives simultaneously.

Join us to kick off this week-long practical inquiry into the intersection of paradigm-shifting futures 🎴

The event will outline the structure of the week and participants will take their first step towards co-creating worlds that emerge from the convergence of protocolized constraints.

In other words, we’ll unpack what the above means and guide you as you go down the rabbit hole! The event is open to all Edge Esmeralda residents and no background context/skills/knowledge is required.
