New Quality Drop: Several People Are Typing ⌨️
A zine exploring the future of collaborative media by Foster x Seed Club
At the heart of Metalabel is a belief in the power of creative people and communities joining together to find mutual support and speaking to shared values.
Earlier this week, Several People Are Typing, our most collaborative Quality Drop to date, launched. It is a collective effort from 2 communities, 20+ writers, and 100+ people helping in ways big and small.
What is the future of collaborative writing and publishing? This is the question this publication aims to answer.
Several People are Typing is a collaboration between Foster, a collective of writers, and Seed Club, an accelerator for online communities. These two groups brought dozens of writers, editors, and internet friends together to create a shared creative work from a variety of perspectives and stories.
The creation of the zine itself reflected the subject matter: a radical experiment in co-creation.
This drop is a collective effort from:
2 communities
16 stories
30+ contributors
with artwork by Peace Node
Additionally, a payment split was democratically determined by the participants-- and includes over 100 addresses 🤯 for people that helped shape this zine in ways big and small.
The zine is available to collect as an onchain record (.049 ETH | $88 USD), a physical copy that can be purchased with a credit card ($44), or a free PDF download.
Onchain record for Several People Are Typing contains:
+ digital version
+ claimable physical print copy
+ event invitation to Several People Are Partying in NYC
Limited edition: few remaining!
