welcome to the 0x Salon ::: event series, residency program, epistemic skunkworks
0x Salon is an ongoing, non-profit experiment in collective knowledge sharing and cultural production. Since 2020, we have been hosting salons - intimate and private discourse sessions - on a range of conversation topics. Stewarded by 0x Salon team members, our community researches topics, organises events and produces scholarly and artistic outputs.
0x Salon’s event program brings together artists, researchers, theorists and other knowledge workers who engage with the chosen discussion topic. Past topics have included time, Bitcoin’s ecological impact, interdisciplinarity, memes, automation, abstraction, nonhuman life and collective behaviour. More about the 0x Salon.

Cyberspace, Nov’21 ::: Transcendental Time Machines ::: Event Information ::: Topic Research Berlin, Dec’21 ::: 0x Salon Revue Postponed Cyberspace, Jan’22 ::: The Price of Anarchy ::: Topic Research Cyberspace, Feb’22 ::: Acc/strology ::: Topic Research
The Price of Anarchy The next topic of discussion will be ‘The Price of Anarchy’, a concept originally developed in the contexts of economics and game theory. In particular scenarios, The Price of Anarchy compares differences in efficiency in the presence and absence of hierarchical coordination mechanisms. For this salon, we will invoke The Price of Anarchy in its broadest possible sense to explore challenges in horizontal organising in all contexts: from solidarity-based organisations, to packet routing in digital networks.
