Love this reflection on applying 'just do things' to actual community building vs usual tech bro stuff. The internet paradox of letting us bicker with strangers but also instantly connect with creative ppl across the globe hits differnet. I tried starting a community workshop space and the hardest part was just announceing it existed rather than overthinking every detail. The scale is wild tho, going from idea to 61 quality applicants in 2 months would've taken years pre-internet.
Congratulations to Jenny Odell! I'm excited to read her first book about the attention economy, as well as what she's composing at the cabin. When do you plan to begin accepting the next round of applications for the artist residency?
G'day from down under. Sorry, but I'm a little confused, what exactly does an artist residency involve? It seems as though it's all about providing a small place in a natural setting for artists to come to and do their thing, without any involvement from anyone else. Am I reading this right?

The scale is truly insane. And wields a lot of positive and negative results. When did you launch it?
