My relation to the Commons emerged in 2011 during my master thesis when dealing with "participatory design processes" in the context of urban planning.

From that point I’ve been drafting, particularly with David Steinwender, an imaginative Commons-society under the name of “City of Workshops”. In the context of the Commons Institute, especially with Christian Siefkes, we currently try to find ways how various initiatives can form something like a "Commons association", so people involved can fulfill their needs in a broader spectrum through commoning while avoiding potential excessive demands. +

Il ne traite pas, en revanche, de tout ce qui concerne le monde numérique (sauf dans son lien aux questions de propriété sur le génome).
