About SwampNet
SwampNet is a project to design, develop, and steward community and place-based technologies in Bvlbancha | New Orleans and across the Gulf South.
We began our work in 2023 building emergency communication systems to support mutual aid disaster relief.
Our current work includes:
- Building alternative communications infrastructures for community organizations
- Designing local data servers and archives
- Experimenting with environmental sensing systems for community farms and gardens
- Supporting equitable participation in building just tech futures
