Existenxmaximum - Atlas of Shared Living. Vol. III from Venice to Shanghai and back

Any subscription plan gives a certain amount of points to spend on in-house
transactions.
The locations are equipped with everything needed, the possessions to take with
oneself/to buy on coming can be brought to a minimum. Places for storing the
personal possessions are located as in the private living units for those who are
permanent or long-term users, as also in the public areas, which allows to travel
light, to have the own stuff on return and to convert the under-used spaces into
a profitable asset - the profit gained can be monetized or can be converted into
points. A certain (very low) percentage from every transaction is deducted for the
maintanance and running of the locations.
Further points can be acquired by gaining positive reviews, providing some
services (helping put with the household work, organizing shared events like
meals or cinema screenings) or simply by adding some sum to the own account.
A vast network of “like-minded” poeople form different life tracks is included -
priceless!
Every member of the network (dweller or someone from outside who is available
to provide some services) is connected through the app and can get information
on what’s on in the given moment in the given location, one can outsource the
household work that needs to be done, or book some spaces for meetings, join to
events happening in-house, such as communal dinners, cinema screenings etc. All
the in-house relations become transformed into transactions (free or paid). All the
transactions are being fullfilled inside of the app interface thus the users don’t have
to deal with the material part of the transaction face to face.
Unpredicted situations, social rules and reviews. Living with the others can
provoke many situations that would require regulation. By joining the network
one agrees to respect the given rules. The unpredicted situations/conflicts are
resolved in the same logic as the blockchains work. The situation is immediately
sent to the network where it gets assessed by randomly chosen users from other
locations. Anonimity is preserved, situations resolved in-house, solutions go from
low reviews to reduction of one’s points and fees. The cases go archived and the
solutions become the new norm.
Similarly, decisions on maintanance, design and construction of a new location are
taken collectively, the finances are crowdfunded, the design process is participative,
the work is delegated to the chosen managerial team which outsources all the
processes to run the current projects and realize the new constructions.
