Short Abstract

Central to our praxis is biointelligence, a governance philosophy that sees the biosphere not as resource, but as sentient system. ETE addresses the question: How might we transmute extractive infrastructures into ethical planetary biosphere intelligence through shared experimental compositions?

Description

Proposed Format (1h30m total):

Presentation of the Future Infrastructural Model, Case Studies & Tools (30 mins): Demonstrations of our collective platform’s projects and DAO-based financial experiments.

Audience Interaction (30 mins): Improvised policy-making session rethinking an alternative future cultural infrastructural ecosystem embedded in geopolitical rivalries.

Round table, Reflections & Takeaways (30 mins): Open floor for audience members to present themselves, their initiatives or projects, sharing insights, collaborative potentials, and future points of contact.

We proposes to contribute a roundtable that presents case studies, speculative governance tools, and participatory design methods as part of a living laboratory. Drawing on connections with Fab Labs, Eurostack, and Platform Cooperativism, we propose concrete mechanisms such as DAO-based cooperatives, climate-linked currencies, and public art-backed microgrants. These financial tools are seen not merely as alternatives, but as cultural infrastructure themselves, seeding long-term regenerative governance and alternative financial models through civic co-imagination.

We are also developing “policies as participatory intelligent infrastructure,” engaging municipal innovation units and international environmental think tanks to explore bioregional charters that privilege relational ontologies over extractive epistemologies. By integrating aesthetics, infrastructure, and actionable tools, we foster collaboration between artists, activists, sci-fi writers, and policymakers, generating visions of governance that are symbiotic, decolonial, and intelligence-aware.

As future-oriented cooperative infrastructure, we aim to initiate dialogue with other practitioners working at the intersection of experimental epistemology, ecology, and economy, demonstrating how cultural initiatives can prototype new governance and financial ecologies for the next shared planetary age facing geopolitical crisis.
