WHAT IS TERMS OF ASSEMBLY
We investigate how digital and physical public spaces are overlapping, in order to make them more democratic.
Terms of Assembly is a research-driven collective that explores how hybrid public spaces are shaped by commercialized platforms, gamified governance, algorithmic attention and cutified extraction - in order to reimagine them as more democratic.
