“Our community has always been based on welcoming...We always try to make a place for anyone who is interested and wants to be a part of it.” 

 “All you have to do to be a Lucky Pierre piece is show up - continue to show up” 

“The community is about welcoming and generosity and about listening to people. And letting others help shape what we’re making. We have a really broad and weird community” 

“There are times when it becomes an organizational nightmare, you know, coordinating people on both sides of the Atlantic to be in the same place. But I think it has been really rewarding to us. I think that a lot of the members of the group have been interested in education and social practice stuff… so there’s a lot of focus on group learning on group experience but also on socializing so it’s always been important with Lucky Pierre to go hang out together.”

“Why is the documentation now more important than the event?”

“It’s always important to question the unquestioned. I think that’s how we think about tech. It is really useful and entertaining and fun but it's also thought of as a given now. And i think we really want to talk about that which is why I brought up who has access if it’s all online. We’re all sort of scholars of theory of information and tech trying to figure out what this is. Everyone is trying to figure out what this new world is.” 

“It’s (technology) not going away any time soon so we as artists and thinkers need to figure out how to wrangle that in a positive direction -- like we thought was going to happen with this “democracy of the commons” of being online that was then commandeered by the world of the corporate -- I think there's still possibilities for radical reorganization to happen through this medium. I’m hoping.”
