Summary
👤
SeniorSean Bonner is a Venture Partner and longtime cultural technologist who builds communities at the intersection of art, civic tech, and web3. Over a 25+ year DIY career he’s founded record labels, design firms, galleries, volunteer sensor network Safecast, and co-authored the Phaidon chronicle of CryptoPunks, blending editorial rigor with hands-on systems work. He moves between academic, nonprofit, and VC worlds—teaching at Keio, researching at MIT Media Lab, advising Obey Giant and startups—always focused on open data, governance, and archival practice. An experienced curator, photographer and exhibitor, he pairs aesthetic sensibility with practical platform-building and a knack for listening to unruly communities. Notably, his work often surfaces modest experiments that become genre-defining cultural infrastructure.
