Interview with theorist, critic, activist and organizer Geert Lovink. “When we design, build, and use ‘possibility spaces’ we make a claim for a different future. Most of the time these remain concepts, ideas, memes, dreams. There is nothing wrong with that. As Bernard Stiegler, who recently passed away, used to say, ‘to regain the ability to dream is a revolutionary act of resistance’. In order to get there, we need to literally reclaim our ability to dream at night—and remember them when we wake up. To put an imaginary collective practice out into the world can be very powerful: dream first, build later.”
