Landspeedr, an interactive one-man show, explores the collision of culture, nature, technology and liberation. There is also a soundtrack. Think the hip-hop version of Carl Sagan's "Cosmos" series. The purpose is to mainstream ideas around policing, the surveillance state and criminalization of our communities. The series explores how Black people have been made into the “other”; and then datafied by law enforcement machine learning. This AI is designed to achieve specific outcomes and justify harmful policing. There is a proof of concept Youtube playlist for the series, but production will officially begin in 2021.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
