What is required are strategies and techniques of better organization
founded on different principles. Peer production offers one example of the
opportunity to explore the limits of democracy and rethink politics. I think
this is a really interesting area of activity that seems to be gathering
momentum - as both an expression of"non-representational democracy" and as
an alternative economic system altogether. Social networks hold the
potential to transform social relations for the common good but only if held
within the public realm and outside of private ownership.

antisocial notworking is a repository of projects that explore the
pseudo-agency of online social platforms. It takes a number of recent
software projects as its inspiration to reflect upon the fashion for
'participation' with the arts sector and culture in general. The concern is
how the Internet is increasingly charactised as a 'platform' (or collective
machine) for 'social' uses, but to question what is meant by the term social
in such descriptions. Although social networking platforms rely on
user-generated content, what is the nature of this participation? What
alternatives (or antitheses) can be identified?
