From Dust

FROM DUST Community is at the forefront of conversation, deeply rooted in counterculture from Burning Man and beyond. Comprising Makers, Tricksters, Hackers, Entrepreneurs, and Artists, we span from the underground to the mainstream. Our group is dedicated to exploring new and traditional methods in creative gatherings, economic models, placemaking, and play.

Led by a community of like-minded misfits, From Dust was launched in 2020 in Davos, Switzerland, and online as a hub for pioneers to discuss and predict the trends of the coming decade.

Today, we convene regularly as a meta-network ( with multiple communty Dao’s) at global events, mapping initiatives within our community business index and wiki.

With a mission to chart shared cultural values, From Dust is a key platform through which Play Atelier promotes open innovation, sources deal flow, and fosters collaborations, thereby generating opportunities in tandem with others.

Do you have a value-aligned initiative? Join us in mapping global entrepreneurial cultures, like those emerging from Black Rock City, during a period of unparalleled global change.

ARE YOU ONE OF US?

We value those who have openly demonstrated participation and base our community membership of collective effort and transparency in all we do.

The Role of Nature and Ethical Companies:

By embracing nature's guiding principles of creativity, innovation, and impact, social innovation can transcend traditional boundaries. It extends far beyond sectors commonly associated with ethical companies. When organizations grasp the natural cycle of creation and resist excessive fixation, they unlock a realm of new possibilities and drive profound transformations. Additionally, tapping into the power of play, a fundamental aspect of human existence, ignites creativity, enhances happiness, and promotes mental well-being.

Cultivating spaces for play in cities, cultural norms, corporate innovation and culture, and daily creative practices is crucial. By developing environments that value play and encourage self-expression, experimentation, and creativity, we foster a society that appreciates leisure and creativity as much as productivity and efficiency. Renowned economist Paul Romer envisions future cities as innovation hubs that stimulate experimentation and creation. Striving towards this ideal will result in a healthier, more creative, and happier humanity.

To foster socially conscious innovation and creativity, organizations and communities must establish platforms that promote engagement, trust, and collaboration. These networks, guided by shared values and an embrace of the unknown, offer a more sustainable approach than excessive attachment. By harnessing the synergistic combination of fear and economic dynamics inherent in festival economics, for example, we can cultivate trust and unlock new possibilities. Moreover, exploring uncharted territories is essential as it cultivates resilience and adaptability.

Together, we have the power to shape a future where social innovation leads in building a better world. Recognizing the potential of play in reshaping societies, as exemplified by the Burning Man community and festival economic models, is vital for developing a united vision.

Let’s drive profound change and forge a future that is sustainable and equitable together!

Play Atelier and its collaborators invite you to join us on this transformative journey towards a world where innovation and social progress coexist harmoniously.
