BE WATER : WORLD
Lessons from the freedom movements in Hong Kong and Catalonia
Magic and Technology In the Revolution of Our Times
Umbrellas, laser pointers, and cardboard boxes, black blocks using encrypted platforms to vote live on escape routes and designers quitting their day jobs to make Pepe memes full time: The movement in Hong Kong is a signal fire showing us the future of resistance in an increasingly digital world.
