Arthur Röing Baer (ARB) will join Office Hours host Briana Griffin to discuss the kinds of online communities that are made possible through semi-private digital spaces, chat rooms and Discord servers. The conversation will revolve around the Trust discord's experiments with collaboration, as well as Moving Castles, a 2021 report that explored the potential for such spaces to form the basis of self-governed and self-sustaining decentralized institutions.

ARB is co-founder of Trust, a project space in Berlin for utopian conspiracy and platform design.

The multimedia project Black Artist Burnout evoke the experiences that Black artists often have when dealing with white institutions, even ones with “good” intentions.

The videos go on to feature GAN-generated, Rorschach-style inkblots, 3D avatars of Black people expressing exhaustion, and snippets from conversations which seem to feature artists comparing notes on their frustrations with the cultural sector.
