hi Paolo,

not sure how I came to participate in this ? it doesn't ring a bell,

seems an important initiative though, but it it an 'art' project, or really
aims to set out what it explains ?

  Press Release Nov./Dec. 2014. NYC.
  Global Direct
  [1]http://GlobalDirect.today
  Artwork by Paolo Cirio and currently shown at DOX Prague, Palazzo del
  Governatore Parma and online on Turbulence.org
  With the participation of Carne Ross, Daniele Archibugi, Douglas
  Rushkoff, Jon Lebkowsky, Ethan Zuckerman, Michel Bauwens, David Moore,
  among others.
  The artwork Global Direct is a visionary political philosophy promoting
  global participatory democracy driven by information technology and the
  failure of current primitive political systems.
  To illustrate the conceptual work the artist has drawn a series of
  fifteen organograms for initiating a program for global participatory
  democracy.
  [2]http://GlobalDirect.today/program
  These creative diagrams are informed by research in contemporary and
  emergent forms of democracy which the artist conducted and integrates
  as part of the artwork. Furthermore, the artist promotes Global Direct
  through designing a political poster campaign to popularize its
  visions.
  [3]http://GlobalDirect.today/campaign
  Akin to a traditional political campaign, posters are disseminated
  throughout public walls in several cities and consistently feature the
  campaignâs political symbol beside each slogan. In the poster, a clear
  sky visually represents a bright future full of new possibilities above
  the clouds.
  Global Direct researches in pursuit of a new advanced version of
  democracy, where everyone can take part in local and global governance,
  justice, and economy. For this new political civilization, Global
  Direct aims to inspire new protocols, procedures, and policies that can
  cope with the social complexity, crises, and speed of contemporary
  life. These issues are addressed in the artistâs theoretical essay.
  [4]http://GlobalDirect.today/about
  Combining multiple voices and ideas about alternative modes of advanced
  participatory and global democracy, the documentation on the website
  includes academic publications, links to organizations, and articles
  that influenced the creation of the project.
  [5]http://GlobalDirect.today/today
  As part of its documentary component, the artist produced over ten
  video statements by visionaries close to the ideas promoted by Global
  Direct. The collection of short video statements are available on the
  website, offering a compelling overview of the potentials of an ideal
  society.
  [6]http://GlobalDirect.today/statements
  The website also presents the artistâs research into social sciences
  for comparing the political structures of several countries, which are
  presented through many charts that diagram different governmental
  functions and features.
  [7]http://GlobalDirect.today/yesterday
  Through this painstaking investigation the artist was able to analyze
  common and specific mechanics of contemporary governance and reassemble
  them with new organograms drawn in order to suggest the creative
  political alternative proposed by the project.
  The fifteen diagrams created for the project are presented via large
  prints as an installation for art galleries. Each print indicates a
  single area of governance and social structure.
  [8]http://paolocirio.net/work/global-direct/#pics
  The diagrams are also presented together on the website and distributed
  in printed leaflets as interconnected networks of conceptual maps that
  influence one other in a feedback loop for a fair, self-governing
  global society.
  [9]http://globaldirect.today/press/GD-DIAGRAMS-PDF/0_global_direct-netw
  orked_governance.pdf
  These diagrams drawn by the artists are the core of the artwork,
  describing the political program of Global Direct, as the ultimate
  utopic vision, directly inspired by the multiple perspectives found
  through research on prevailing political systems, theories, and
  alternative ideas about advanced forms of democracy.
  Global Direct is a 2014 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts,
  Inc. in NY, U.S., for its Turbulence.org website, which is made
  possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation.
  Global Direct has been especially supported by DOX Centre for
  Contemporary Art in Prague and Lunatici Cultural A.P.S Association
  through the Municipality of Parma, Italy.
  Keywords:
  Decentralization, Participation, Deliberation, Transparency,
  Accountability and Openness in governance, Open Source Governance, Open
  Data, Electronic Voting, Emergent Democracy, Online Consultation.
  Thank you for the attention.
  Paolo Cirio.
