Time/Bank: bypassing money as a measure of value


e-flux has launched Time/Bank, a platform initiated by Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle where groups and individuals can pool and trade time and skills, bypassing money as a measure of value. Time/Bank is based on the premise that everyone in the field of culture has something to contribute and that is possible to develop and sustain an alternative economy by connecting existing needs with unacknowledged resources.
