Deep dives
Cryptocurrency Research and Governance
Researcher in Paris and Berkman Klein Centre at Harvard explores blockchain governance and legal regulatory questions. Also engages in blockchain art and activism, seeking to bridge blockchain ecosystem with institutional world.
Institutional Theory and Social Dynamics
Discussion centers around an institutional theory focusing on understanding social interactions beyond traditional frameworks based on roles and rules. Emphasizes the importance of identities and relationships in explaining social dynamics.
Institutional Dynamics in Blockchain Governance
Exploration of how blockchain governance extends beyond protocol codification, involving off-chain dynamics like identities and relationships. Highlights the significance of understanding institutional dynamics in blockchain governance.
Art and NFTs in Relation to Blockchain
Conversations around art, NFTs, and blockchain explore the limitations of analyzing blockchain solely through on-chain activity. Discusses the value of incorporating off-chain dynamics and provenance into blockchain interactions.
Experimental Governance in the Blockchain Space
Engagement with blockchain governance as a space for high-stakes experimentation and exploration of novel governance structures. Emphasizes the potential for experimentation and innovation in governance mechanisms within the blockchain environment.
Primavera De Filippi of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society joins us to discuss her economic experiments, her groundbreaking art project Plantoid, her novel concept on Extitutional theory, and her current thoughts on the state of crypto.
