Votten. Inside MIT’s Hobby Shop. Fait Main Magazine. Que ReFaire ? Le “manifeste” des manifestes. Dans leurs ateliers, Fab Labs, Techshops et autres Hackerspaces, les « nouveaux artisans », makers, DIYers, bricoleurs du XXIe siècle inventent, transforment, personnalisent, réparent, produisent et reproduisent.
Le mouvement semble puissant. Il se répand partout dans le monde, il fonctionne en réseau, il suscite ses plates-formes et ses espaces d’échange, il dispose de médias (Make Magazine au premier rang) et d’événements (Maker Faire).Mais quelles sont leurs intentions ? Pour quoi, contre quoi les makers se battent-ils ? Qu’espèrent-ils accomplir au-delà du fait de vivre une expérience enrichissante ?
Que veulent-ils changer et quelles alternatives dessinent-ils ? Une histoire des manifestes En 1986, peu après avoir été arrêté (apparemment pour avoir pris le contrôle d’une partie du réseau téléphonique américain), le « hacker » américain Loyd Blankenship publie le « Manifeste du Hacker« .

Hobbyists and tinkerers are testing out the future with a technology that you're probably going to have sooner than you think.
The progression that computers made from IBM to your laptop has patterned the expectations for all future technologies. First, big companies create and use a very expensive set of technologies. Then, garage tinkerers start to use slightly cheaper, smaller versions of the original technology. They create a culture that makes the technology easier to use and they give it more users, which drives down its costs. Finally, when it is sufficiently cheap and easy to use, mass market consumers start to buy it. The latest technology that seems to be working its way along this trajectory is 3D printing. Beth Kolko: “Hackademia – Leveraging the conflict between expertise and innovation to create disruptive technologies”
Posted by Ethan on Jan 25th, 2012 in Berkman | 1 comment Beth Kolko is the sort of academic who follows her muse from one fascinating topic to another.
Colin Maclay traces some of her past work from a doctorate in English through research on use of technology in the developing world, through her current research on human-centered design and engineering at the University of Washington. For the past couple of years, Beth has been focused on research for a book on hackers and makers. This is a project that comes from her daily life, where she’s spent the last six years participating in hacking and making events in the Seattle area – she’s now considering the implications of hacking for academia and larger questions of how the DIY movement could impact civic engagement and educational reform.

The R2 Builders Club is a national organization dedicated to creating and distributing plans for replicas of the robots of the Star Wars universe. The club claims that sci-fi DIYers around the country have built hundreds of these bots, and not just R2s; I spotted plans for the R3-A2 and the R6-D7, among others. The plans, now free to anyone, were compiled with meticulous research and a little help from the George Lucas empire, which provided some official robot sounds and let members photograph original props.
