This title explores the technologies, strategies and anxieties that are coalescing in 2022 to shape a new digital paradigm. As citizens of today’s always-online world and as survivors of a multiyear pandemic, the need to reform our digital tools and approaches is more pressing than ever before. In conjunction with Pioneer Works’ seventh Software for Artists Day, creators, technologists and members of our community share their visions for a flourishing digital multiverse.

Evolved models for virtual convening, collective organising and digital ownership are making this possible, and a reckoning for the platformed web and its monolithic tech giants is beginning to feel imminent – but how will it all unfold, and what new pitfalls will emerge?
