He published with Vasilis Kostakis the article "Information literacy and peer-to-peer infrastructures: An autopoietic perspective". This article argues that an autopoietic perspective of human communities would allow to understand societies as self-organized systems and thus promote information literacy as a facilitator of social development. Peer-to-peer (P2P) social dynamics generate public information available worldwide in digital repositories, websites and bibliographic resources. However, processing such amount of data is not achievable by a single central-controlled system. They claimed that distributed and heterogeneous networks of coordinated mechanisms, composed by both specialized human and artificial agents, are needed to improve information retrieval, knowledge inference and decision-making, but also to produce social value, goods and services. Handling these issues implies the collective construction of global semantic networks but also the active labor of knowledge producers and consumers. The article concludes that information literacy is as much important as any technical implementation and, therefore, may lead to networks of Commons-oriented communities which would utilize P2P infrastructures.

Diego Gonzalez-Rodriguez (Diego González, Ph.D.) is a multidisciplinary researcher and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the SciArt Lab, a Research & Development Lab for the open exploration of Science, Art, and Technology with a focus on multidisciplinary knowledge and technology-driven creativity. The SciArt Lab explores new models for learning and knowledge production and the potential of virtual reality for therapy, education, emergent economies, and decentralized enterprises. The SciArt Lab leads a virtual campus funded by the Decentraland Foundation, a fully decentralized virtual world powered by blockchain technology and virtual reality.
