The Future of Manufacturing: Platforms and Distributed Fabrication
I wrote this post earlier on in November, in preparation of my speech at second Shenzhen (China) International Industrial Design Fair, where I was asked to talk about the role of Openness and Platforms in the Manufacturing industry, in the so called age of Makers.

Mastering Collaborative Innovation through Events
Short time, well facilitated, cooperation efforts, often linked to specific live events (during which a community gathers around one ore more challenges, or a topics) can be an extraordinary experience and deliver outstanding results.
The adoption of well-tested methodologies summed up with a natural inclination of people to meet and share plus the huge amount of learning that this kind of events can trigger make so made contexts the ideal tool to generate multiplier effects and produce much more value than the necessary investments would recall.
That’s why in many contexts, ranging from social to corporate innovation, from product design to business modelling short-term cooperative events are gaining an important role.

The Revolution at Hand
The Revolution at hand— The fundamental moment in which design becomes a political tool has arrived. Whatever we choose to call it — P2P culture, peer production movement, open-P2P-design — will we be able to find new meaning cooperatively? Will we be able to participate with conviction in the revolution that is at hand?

As the Conceptual Age fades the Meaning Age rises
For years, we filled our brains and the mouths of the transaction between the information age – the era of computerization – and the conceptual age in the hope that this could save western economies from the ultimate nightmare of globalization of work and offshoring. We believed that thanks to our supposed greater ability to design great products, experiences and eventually statuses, we may have succeeded to the threat.
The news is that this is not happening.

Paraimpu: a social tool for the Web of Things
What is the “web of things”? What’s the future of human interaction with objects, web-enabled artifacts, sites, networks?
By mean of Paraimpu project, folks at CRS4 are trying to imagine it and make it real!
Meedabyte hosts today Antonio Pintus, CRS4 senior researcher and team leader, to explain the Paraimpu backing concepts and encourage you to giva a try to the alpha version!
