Open Design Mindscapes

Open Design Mindscapes The exploration of Open Design starts with ongoing collaborative discussions at the centre of the event. Share your views, passions and ideas while inspiring others, too. The Mindscape cluster will be moderated by Michelle Thorne (Creative Commons) and Pedro Pineda (We Creative People), and will feature both pre-scheduled and spontaneous contributions.

Time: Wed / Mi 09th – Sun / So 13th, all day

Iterative Process

Iterative Process is a quick guide to Open Design. The sessions, no matter your design experience, will be about creating, reinterpreting, building upon or retrofitting objects fabricated and shared during the Maker Lab. We will provide you with tips, tools and materials (please see details) so you can explore, produce and present during the Festival.

Time: Wed / Mi 09th – Sun / So 13th, all day

Documentation

A core component of Open Design is the documentation, which is essential to enable others to access your designs, processes and techniques. We shall be exploring new and tested processes over the course of the event to iterate the documentation process itself.

Analog Motion Graphics Create handmade moving images in which the motion is achieved by hand or using movements made with the body. We will be helping you to create beautiful and unique documentation, enabling you to share the discoveries you make at the workshop with the larger maker community. By KS12: Gabriel Shalom, Patrizia Kommerell, Annika Bauer, Veronika Ruppenthal

Time Thu / Do 10th – Sun / So 13th, Constant Video shooting during event

Workshops Thu / Do – Sun / So, 15:00

Materials Bring your own cameras and materials to play.

Immediated Autodocumentary We will engage the routine behavior of sharing media on social networks as a means towards live documentation of our event. All participants are invited to tweet #dmymakerlab or join the flickr group dmymakerlab to contribute to our selfreflexive discourse. Enabled by KS12: Gabriel Shalom, Patrizia Kommerell, Annika Bauer, Veronika Ruppenthal

Time Thu / Do 10 – Sun / So 13th

The 'Evolving Monument' is a proposal to catalogue the objects developed during the DMY Maker Lab. As a process, this archive will grow, change, disrupt and/or project the input of all participants during the 5-day event. This public effort aims to form the workshop’s institutional memory while serving as a generative exercise in contemporary production and material economies. Initiated and moderated by Luis Berríos-Negrón and Aurel von Richthofen.
