Madrid Maker Faire 24-25 septemberPrado DIY Projects, Communities and Cultures We adopt the Wikipedia definition of DIY (Do It Yourself) as any creation, modification or repair of objects without the aid of paid professionals. DIY practices predate recorded history as human survival often relied on the ability to repair and repurpose tools and materials. Over the past few decades, new materials and sharing mechanisms have led to a wider adoption of DIY culture. One of the earliest “modern era” DIY communities formed among amateur radio hobbyists in the 1920’s. Ham radio communication continued even during World War II, when a ban was placed on amateur radio communication. Starting in the 1970's, enthusiasts created 'zines' to express the punk aesthetic. Thousands of DIY communities exist today, varying in size, organization and project structure. We focus on a subset of these as a sample of the diverse materials, practices and sharing mechanisms among DIY practitioners.
