Illustration: Pyramid of Universal Openness by Marloes de Valk, based on Pyramid of Capitalist System, issued by Nedeljkovich, Brashich, and Kuharich in 1911, itself inspired by 1901 Nikolai Nikolaevich Lokhoff’s Social Pyramid, that was probably derived from Pyramide à Renverser from Parti ouvrier belge (POB) in 1900. And so on. CC4r Collective Conditions for reuse. Created as part of ‘Prompt 8: Never yours to begin with’ during Revisit Reuse, organised by Femke Snelting and Eva Weinmayr at Constant, 1 - 4 May 2024.

It is essentially an illustration meant to highlight the hierarchical structure of extractive social mechanisms taking place in society. Marloes has tweaked it to reflect how these mechanism can be also found in the broader ecosystem of the digital commons.
