What will the internet of the future make possible?

Untethering the Web delves into the emerging technologies, strategies, and concerns shaping the digital landscape in 2022. As individuals who have become accustomed to the always-online world and have weathered the pandemic, the urgency to revamp our digital tools and approaches has never been greater.

Evolved models for virtual convening, collective organizing, and digital ownership are enabling this transformation. A reckoning for the platformed web and its dominant tech giants seems imminent, but how will this unfold, and what new challenges will arise?

In conjunction with Pioneer Works' seventh Software for Artists Day in October 2022, creators, technologists, and members of our community share their visions for a thriving digital multiverse and how they envision it manifesting over time.

The internet of the future holds immense potential for innovation and transformation. By exploring the technologies, strategies, and anxieties shaping this landscape, we can envision a digital world that is more connected, inclusive, and sustainable. Let us embrace the possibilities and work towards creating a future where the internet serves as a catalyst for positive change.
