Hacking metacreativity: how open source, cheap electronics and online communities are making it easy to add high tech gadgets to creative practice
This document discusses how open source technologies, cheap electronics, and online communities are enabling more people to incorporate high-tech gadgets into creative practices. It provides four examples - electronics prototyping, manufacturing, music, and film - to illustrate this trend. A key point is that making these tools easier to use through "hacks" is itself a creative act, lowering barriers for artists and amateurs. The document also examines recurring themes around amateur vs professional approaches and the relationship between new technologies and creative ideas.
