3 unusual facts about SpaceCollective


SpaceCollective

The website, founded by film-maker Rene Daalder in collaboration with interactive designer Folkert Gorter, went public at the end of 2007, and is now occupied by more than 2500 contributors.

Inspired by thinkers like Carl Sagan, Gene Roddenberry, Marshall McLuhan and Timothy Leary, who helped articulate the future by adopting a pop culture vernacular, they wanted to "use the online platform to do something similar for our times in a radically different interactive medium".

But soon Rene Daalder realized that in a place of non-linearity and interactivity such a movie-like project wasn't going to work.
