Fiddian Warman founded several organizations and projects related to digital culture, learning, and social change. Some examples mentioned include Corrupted Nature, an art project with 3 punk robots, and projects with Boeing Dreamscapes, the Science Museum, and more. Warman is interested in discussing how digital play and fabrication can extend beyond screens through things like physical interfaces, localization, and natural user interfaces. Warman also describes the Maker's Guild, a membership organization for makers from crafters to coders focused on where digital fabrication can enable radical change.

I’d like to talk about digital
play etc. beyond the screen.

Makers' Guild is an emerging membership organisation for Makers of all
ﬂavours from crafters to coders. We are particularly interested in the intersection of
the two where digital fabrication has greatest potential to enable radical change. We
help create makerspaces, share knowledge and resources, run events and aim in the
future to provide research, lobbying and funding to and for our members.

This document discusses how technology allows individuals to realize their creative potential. It notes that great artists like Mozart, Van Gogh, and Hitchcock benefited from technological advances in their mediums of music, painting, and film. The document argues that we have a moral obligation to continue inventing new technologies so that all people globally have the potential to express themselves creatively. Undiscovered technologies may enable currently unknown forms of self-expression for millions of children being born today.

Makers are new industrial revolution

Ravi Parmar

Looking and acting out

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino

This document discusses ways for individuals and organizations to act innovatively. It suggests being nomadic physically and with attention, interested in what others are doing, taking personal risks, scratching your own itch, building tools for others, thinking about both small and large projects, building new allies for every project, and leading your industry into action. The document is presented by Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino, an industrial and interaction designer who runs an independent consultancy on the internet of things.

The Re-making revolution

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino

The document discusses how technology is enabling a "re-making revolution" where people are re-learning how to make things through rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and other technologies. It argues that this will break down industrial silos and redefine success. Manufacturing is being redefined as more of an open, digital process where people can learn new skills and explore new applications like smart products, robots, and the internet of things.

Avatar based marketing in indian context

Amit Morya

Avatar-based marketing involves using virtual representations of users (avatars) in online communities and virtual worlds to engage with customers. Several large virtual worlds exist, including Second Life, which has over 27 million registered users and $12 million spent daily. In these worlds, users can socialize, design products, and run virtual businesses. Some real-world companies have established a presence by opening virtual stores or showrooms to advertise, get customer feedback, and even sell real products. While avatar-based marketing shows potential in India as internet use grows, challenges include low penetration, infrastructure issues, and user privacy concerns regarding data collection.

Maker Movement & Creative Climate in Japan @AAAS 2016

Airline Design

The document discusses the maker movement in Japan. It notes that experiences used to be disconnected but are now entangled connections adding human touch to the design process. Making has become more human-centered and personalized by adding customization and storytelling. The maker movement encourages turning ideas into reality and sharing more tangibly. This creates transparency, trust, curiosity and attachment between makers and users.

Olabi Maker Party Rio de Janeiro - September 2014

Marcela Sabino

Olabi Maker Party – September 13 -14, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil We believe that we are all Makers. We believe that by learning the web and getting our hands dirty with maker technologies and techniques, people can bring their passions and dreams to life. On the 13th and 14th of September we invited web ninjas and makers to teach and share their experiences with over 200 people on a sunny weekend in Rio across 18 different activities. We learned and played with WordPress, Creative Coding, Creating Robots with Arduino, Open Source mesh networks, Big Data, Mobile apps, Art using Machines, Prototyping with 3D printers, and Wearables. We even played with Lasers and a two-hundred thousand volt Tesla Coil.

Hacking the public sphere

Renaud Clément

This document discusses the transition from private to public spheres online and proposes building a "cognitive commons" through sharing and crowdsourcing knowledge. It argues that technologies should be designed to empower users and meet community needs through open models like hackerspaces, Fab Labs, and distributed networks. The goal is for people to work together, learn new skills, and produce technologies to solve real problems through an ongoing process of "sharing, hacking and improving designs." This collaborative approach could help crowd-produce a more equitable digital public sphere.

Maker cities in Asia, Middle-East, Europe and America, by Innovation is Every...

Innovation is Everywhere

Cities are the future of mankind, with 60% of the world population expected to live there by 2030. In these cities, makers could be the key to innovation, as local agent with expertise and community power to change things. This is, in a nutshell, the basis of the Institute For The Future (IFTF) project MakerCities. While in Shenzhen for the Maker Faire, the team delighted us with a series of 11 short speeches from as many cities represented by one of their makers. Of course, you can't expect Beirut to sound exactly the same than Kathmandu or Singapore, but still, it's pretty interesting to compare how all these tech activists are organizing their communities and try to hack the city for the better. So you will find here the review of ALL the speakers we've had the opportunity to listen to and discuss with in Shenzhen, representing, in addition to the above cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Tel Aviv, San Francisco, London, New York, Hong Kong and Yogyakarta in Indonesia. The concept of "making" is clearly an umbrella for a lot of different things. People talked about democracy, about immigrants mixing in urban areas, about creativity and arts. They also talked about data, life sciences and different generations, youths or the elderly. If you want to know more about the project, just connect to MakerCities.net, designed as an open-source platform where you can also push content about how your own city is a maker city in its own way, small or big, arty or techy, as we suspect that makers, maybe more than the usual software engineer, is one of the keys to reactivate participation in political and local life with a meaning.
