Elicitated Jokes: An alternative history of the protocolized real world
This project challenges the notion of "good protocols" by using humor to explore their potential downsides. It proposes creating a series of joke stories set in an alternate history that critiques real-world protocols, particularly in the context of Web3 and decentralization. The jokes will be presented in a short film format, where participants act out dinner table scenes discussing family rules that metaphorically represent broader societal protocols. This anthropological and creative approach aims to highlight and question the effectiveness and impact of protocols through the lens of humor.
