Seeking A New Kind of Public Good: Honorable Mentions

 

Find the full article here.

In addition to the finalists mentioned in our summary post, the Gitcoin team wanted to take a moment to highlight a few projects that didn’t quite make it to the top few that we believe were strong contenders, whether in terms of their vision or in terms of the deep and thoughtful quality of their writing.

Many of these members have gone on to join the Public Library, a thriving community of public goods advocates. Ultimately, we hope these honorable mentions can inspire more people to take individual action to build for the public good.

The Algorithmic Resistance Cookbook

Andreas Tsamados

The Algorithmic Resistance Cookbook aims to be a collection of resources on algorithmic and data-related resistance and appropriation. It is an attempt at locating individual agency within technological systems of power. The cookbook is primarily intended for activists and people who look for ways to practice resistance to intrusive and repressive aspects of present-day algorithmic culture, whether individually or collectively, whether pro-actively/productively or re-actively/disruptively. With it you can contribute or learn useful ‘recipes’ for action –from protecting your and others’ privacy on- and offline, to using open source algorithms for political petitioning, to “poisoning ” invasive algorithmic surveillance systems.
