Co-living: Could it be the future of home ownership?
ANALYSIS. Co-living is a form of shared accommodation halfway between hotel services and traditional housing. It offers an alternative to traditional housing while questioning our relationship to property. But to what extent can this experiential strategy of ownership really transform the logic of ownership? And what is the situation today, at a time of pandemic and injunctions to social distancing? Behind the fine promises and marketing operations, does coliving meet real needs? Or is it exploiting the flaws of a system that is out of breath? A historical and documented insight, by Nassim Moussi.

ANÁLYSIS. En la Cuarta Revolución Industrial, la observación de la conducta digital permite que las empresas, usando Inteligencia Artificial (IA), administren, mediante algoritmos, perfiles digitales de los usuarios. Pero el Estado no se queda atrás: en el ámbito de la Justicia se utilizan procesos de aprendizaje de máquina, que pueden ser supervisados por personas o no.

What became of the projects developed at POC21? Meet with the teams who are building a zero carbon and zero waste society.
ZOOM. In the summer of 2015, Ouishare's teams embarked on a big adventure: bringing together designers, engineers and scientists in a French castle to prototype a zero carbon and zero waste society. During 5 weeks, 12 sustainable technologies were developed and an international community of innovators was created. 4 years later, we wanted to know what happened next: what was the impact of POC21 for the teams that worked there? Where are they now? What are their next steps? An encounter with those who are preparing for a post-carbon society with low tech.

Making sense of what's next: Holding space for change in times of Climate Crisis
Leading scientists give our civilization something between 18 months to twelve years to implement the far-reaching changes that could limit the current climate emergency. Across generations, people engage is mass protest and young people feel justifiably betrayed. In this complex context, how do we relate to the notion of “changing society” that has echoed through Ouishare’s mission since the beginning, and where do we go from here?

How to use art to unlock urban imaginaries and public spaces
The modern city has long been thought of as a machine, a device that must respond mechanically and efficiently to the needs created by car traffic or housing. On the contrary, we believe that cities need to be evolving, living systems and that public spaces can be welcoming places and sources of creation. We discussed the topic with Dan Acher, artivist at Happy City Lab, Camille Bonazzi, journalist and vice-president of Noise La Ville and Pascal Le Brun Cordier, artistic programmer and head of the Master 2 Professional Cultural Projects in Public Space.

How neighbourhood social networks can help communities and local businesses thrive
In the small state of Vermont, residents log on to Front Porch Forum, an online service, to ask for recommendations for a plumber, or to borrow a ladder, or to discuss the school budget. Unlike other social media, however, postings are aggregated and sent as a digest typically once a day. So members read postings from their neighbors only after they have been reviewed first by Front Porch Forum’s team of moderators. Michael Wood-Lewis, a founder of Front Porch Forum, spoke to Ouishare about the platform’s role in building community, increasing social capital, and, most recently, its take on Big Tech.
