The Bank of Common Knowledge (BCK) can be viewed as a pilot test for knowledge
trade. The project stems from a study of similar previous experiences
in Catalonia and abroad to create a network of people and spaces
willing to swap knowledge and cultural objects.
BCK aims to be an experiment in exchange and gift economy,
a testing ground to generate the necessary codes to regulate and
structure the appropriation of informal knowledge, that is, knowledge
generated by inventive amateur practices, ranging from short wave
radio communities to bloggers.
The Bank of Common Knowledge is organized as a model of knowledge
transfer, a laboratory for inventing and trying out new forms of
production, education, organization and diffusion, involving new
roles for producers and receivers, experts and amateurs, teachers
and students, as well as new relationships between the production
of image, text and audio material and their subsequent diffusion
in the public space.
In short, The Bank of Common Knowledge wants to allow people conscious
of the value of knowledge to assemble, produce, create and transmit
in new communication and exchange circuits, free from restrictive
hierarchical roles.
You are very welcome to participate and send us or recomend us manuals
(text, audio, video), reports of similar experiences and other DIY
material.
