Is it possible to visit Dynamicland as a random interested person? I'm on their mailing list and couldn't make the open house last spring - maybe they'll have another one at some point.
I have no idea to be honest. I just gave a nominal amount, think it was like a hundred dollars. I would happily give a LOT more if I had stronger financial means / if I thought it would actually have an impact.
It seems like they're mostly seeking funding from larger institutions, as crowd-funding such a large research effort isn't really feasible or sustainable.
