FAQs

Why should I become a member?

Everyone has their own reasons (social, professional, technical, emotional, political, etc).

It simply feels good to know that you have a place to go and work on projects, learn + teach, be silly, vibe, and co-exist with other brilliant sweetie pies.

Membership is how and why we exist. It is how we foster the trust, belonging, responsibility, and reciprocity that is necessary for fortifying a felt, material, and resilient sense of ‘community’ and ‘solidarity’ in our networks. You don’t have to be a ‘member’ to be a part of Cyber Love, but it helps make it feel real.

Can I do [artistic medium] at Cyber Love?

Maybe! Most of our members do computer stuff, design, programming, printing, writing, VR, drawing, soldering, sewing, and other desk-type stuff. Sometimes people play piano, acoustic guitar, synths, DJ practice (before 10pm), painting, etc.

We cannot host ceramics, oil painting, anything with broken glass or excessive dust. If you’re not sure, just ask!

Can I bring my dog?

Probably! As long as they don’t eat art, they’re welcome. We ask that people write in Signal/Discord before bringing their doggo for the first time, if they’re barky, or if they don’t get along well with other dogs.

I want to be a keyholder member, but I can only afford general membership. How does the PWYC/NOTAFLOF system work?

We’re aware that people who are trans, racialized, disabled, and/or intergenerationally poor are more likley to experience barriers in the art/tech sector.

We don’t want finances to be a barrier to being a Cyber Love member. Especially for folks who are low income and trans, disabled, Black, Indigenous, POC, etc.

Just talk to us! For now, we deal with it on a case-by-case basis and we don’t have limits for how many subsidized spots we can offer yet. Help us capacity test =)
