DWeb Camp 2026

Sharing Resources with Your Community
2026-07-09 , Decentralized Hardware @ Hackers Lab

We will show how individuals can easily get involved in sharing their resources with their communities so that others can benefit. Young will speak to the technical aspects of setting up a storage server and an AI server, and Andi will speak to her collaboration with artists to preserve their work.


Andi and I have been sharing our servers with our artist community. They have access to storage, websites and our new AI server. We have found that the elderly and people outside of the tech community often do not or cannot have access to more computer storage or AI.

In response to the challenges experienced during the COVID pandemic, we began partnering with artists to archive their performances and work history through the creation of websites hosted on our server. We have preserved the work histories of trailblazing artists of color who were unable to navigate quickly changing technological advances on their own. We are also exploring how AI can assist us with language translation as we research our family genealogy and recover little known history of the Chinese and Chinese-Americans in the United States and beyond.

Andi served as teaching artist and site arts coordinator in San Francisco public schools for over two decades. As project coordinator for ArtsEd4All, she creates curriculum, conducts workshops, hosts film screenings, and organizes participatory community events such as the annual Blake Mini Library book drive for Hamilton Families, Civic Season with Made By Us, and open-ended play with The Blue Marbles Project. Her creative partners include composer/musician Marcus Shelby, First Voice led by artistic directors Brenda Wong Aoki and Mark Izu, The Last Hoisan Poets (poets Genny Lim, Flo Oy Wong and Nellie Wong), Del Sol String Quartet, and the Internet Archive.
