Deep Worth is a journal project on the worth of creative labor, and an inquiry into sustainable funding patterns for the work of those who practice art forms.

Like A Digital Incubation Space and Slowcore HQ before it, this project was seeded through collective intelligence: i.e., the Farcaster scenius.

Started in Dec. 2024, the Deep Worth project invites thoughtful, open-ended public conversations. There’s also a private group chat on Warpcast for further discussion.

This site is a collection of “worthy” writings maintained by Danica Swanson, a word nerd and Farcaster OG who enjoys writing in paradoxical, hard-to-define problem spaces.
