A Human
Are we Battery Caged?
or Free Range?
Should someone else be running your cage?
or could you take over management yourself
and if you were for a moment to entertain the direction of free range
What changes would you make in your life, Today.

Community
How do we live as humans in an age where the very fundamentals of our Western ways need to be reconstructed in a way that aids ours and our children’s future.
Are we asking the right questions?
How do we survive in a world where it would seem there are warning signs everywhere?
Some answers can be found in the incredibly talented and wonderful people in the world tackling these issues, a google search would list many. What I have put in this site is what I have found and share.
From The House Melbourne, Digger Street to Human Communities
There are so many new ways you can look at your neighbourhood
just the names alone make you think, Microhood, New Urban, Bioneers - all new ways of learning to live togethor outside the Single Housing Unit
This is a welcome change when we find out how much new construction costs and sites getting less and less. Recycling existing urban neighbourhoods offers an alternative to building one from the ground up.
Microhood - New Urban differ from traditional homes because residents start with a few already existing homes on a block. They then find innovative ways to adapt the houses, lanes, fences and backyards to make them more human-friendly and community-oriented. Every new neighbourhood is unique, reflective of the communities own methodology.
One model like Digger Street share a common meals area recognising the built in redundancy of the combined equipment all the houses and the savings to be gained when food is obtained collectively.
Collaborating
From ConFest, Rainbow Serpent to Burning Man to Eclipse Down Under
Festivals are an amazing space, for me the are the home of the peak experience and they allow communities to express themselves in a way they can take pride in their space. There are a number of different models from the Self organising festivals of ConFest and burning Man to the commercial events such as Rainbow Serpent and what these two approaches have to do with future event management. Festivals like neighbourhoods also change and in many occasions for the same reasons, they are simply on a different time frame. To observe what works in one or the other has lessons for both.
Creatively
A REMIX MANIFESTO1.) Culture builds on the past
2.) The past tries to control the future.
3.) The future is becoming less free
4.) To build free societies, we must limit control of past
The Biosphere
The world our organic body exists in which its existence has inherent rights
The Diosphere
The world our digital being exists in which through its existence has inherent rights
