Our dependent network looks less like a spider’s web, where the strings are evenly distributed, and more like a tangle of octopuses, their heads representing internet giants like google. But there are growing alternatives. The web, which has re-shaped our social DNA in the last few decades and which has the potential to revolutionise our organisational structures, could exist in the hands of its users instead. The interplanetary file system (IPFS) proposes a distributed network, where content is stored and shared across the hardware of the people who use it. This message and challenge is hidden within the digital print… DISTRIBUTE THE NETWORK.
