Een kunstenaar is bezig om Wikipedia in boekvorm uit te brengen

Wikipedia in boekvorm

About

Dankzij Michael Mandiberg, Lulu.com en de Denny Gallery in New York kun je Wikipedia straks ook gewoon in boekvorm lezen. Michael Mandiberg, co-auteur van Digital Foundations, Collaborative Futures en editor van The Social Media Reader, is onlangs begonnen aan zijn meest ambitieuze project tot nu toe: Print Wikipedia. In dat kunstproject wordt de Engelstalige Wikipedia via speciale software geanalyseerd, ontleed en vervolgens in duizenden volumes samengebracht, compleet met kaft en al. Vervolgens zullen de volumes als enorme PDF-bestanden opLulu.com worden geüpload, waar je de boeken straks zelf kunt kopen en uitprinten. Het idee daarbij is dat als iedereen één boek koopt, het complete Wikipedia straks verspreid over de hele wereld in boekvorm in de huiskamers ligt.

Een kleurplaat van 9/11

COMMENTS
Ik vind het super interesant om te zien hoe de gedachtengang en fantazie van kinderen werkt en hoe ze een afbeelding en of een gebeurtenis op hun eigen manier interpreteren en zich eigen maken.

TGAHP || THE GIRLS AT HOME PROJECT

ABOUT

Amsterdam based photographer Jaimie Peeters always comes up with new inspirations and started a new series called “The Girls at Home Project” where he shoots girls in their own homes. Jamie Peeters wanted the girls to feel comfortable in there own homes, and step out of the comfortzone.

CREATOR

Jamie Peeters

RULES || RESTRICTIONS

– no rules, just let the models have fun and come out of your comfortzone.

COMMENTS

I know Jamie myself and after this big project he stopped fashion photography, now he only walks around with his analog camera.

He also made this project into a book, the book is full of girls who aren’t afraid to show herself. And that is something i really love about this project, he capture the girls at the moment that makes every girl special. You can feel the vibe, how the girls are in real life, aren’t afraid to walk naked in there rooms, or only with underwear.

PROJECT ” 1 + 1 “

ABOUT

Project “1+1” is a symbiosis of fashion art and photography. This project got known for it’s comparison of fashion to nature. But there also different comparisons, like fashion to art and architecture. This project got shown on social media and then it would say ‘Fashion inspired by Nature’, the joke is that the pictures are so well combined that it could be, but in reality the pictures are searched together.

CREATOR

Liliya Hudyakova

RULES

She picks designs of fashion shows from different designers and looks for/photographs nature/art that has a direct link to the fashion design.

COMMENT

I did doubt if this was a good example of open design. She did use rules and made a collection which is amazing to see. What I thought was very interesting is that this way of research could be used for actually making a design. For example people do only get their inspiration from nature.

FLUX CHAIR

ABOUT

Flux Furniture  is a chair that’s made of one specific rule that decided the whole collection. The creators wanted to create a chair that could be folded out of one piece. This for reasons like, it would make it easy to take it with you and it would be better for the environment in terms of fabrication and shipping. The creators are from TU Delft and they won a price when proposing the idea. They decided to team up and actually make this furniture, which has started from the chairs to actual bars. Fun fact: it’s also possible to custom the designs to, for example, chose a color or put your brand on it.

CREATORS

Tom Schouten and Douwe Jacobs

RULES/RESTRICTION

They started there project with the one simple rule, they wanted to make a chair (what later would be a whole line of furniture) foldable. This would take a lot of mathematics to get it right.

COMMENT

What I like about this project is that it has actually a sustainable aspect. The rule/restriction of making it foldable would make a very specific design and it isn’t only limited to one piece of furniture.

LEGO is everywhere

ABOUT
Everyone nows LEGO, with the small bricks you can build everything that’s is on your mind and fantasy.
CREATOR
The official creator of the Lego Group is Ole Kirk Christiansen, he invented the little bricks in 1932 long time ago.
What starts as a tool for kids to build up their fantasy became also a grown up thing.

RULES | RESTRICTIONS
I think there is only one rule: Use the bricks to create your own lego world

COMMENT
Maybe this example is a little bit obvious, but i think Lego is a good example of open design.
Because they invented a platform that all kind of people can use and own.
I think it is more than a toy for children it could also be art.

PHOTOCHROMIA by Madison Maxey

ABOUT

Photochromia is a project from “The Crated” a design studio which Madison Maxey is a part of it. For this project she worked with a company called Print All Over ( digital printing partners) to create clothing that changes patterns in response to light. The trick: photochromatic inks, which are made up of molecules that turn transparent when exposed to sunlight. The technology has been around since the mid-1800s, yet it still feels futuristic when applied to clothing. The clothing line includes baseball caps, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants, backpacks, and more.

CREATOR

Madison Maxey is a around designer. She builds prototypes, writes codes and likes in generally to experiment at the intersection of design and technology. Her interests lie between 2nd generation wearable technology, additive manufacturing and computational design. Her main focus is The Crated a Innovation studio focused on developing 2nd generation wearable technology. They Believe that the key to productive wearable tech lies within the realm of fiber science. With this in mind, they focus on performance & responsive materials and soft circuitry.

RULES/RESTRICTIONS

One of the most important rule in this project is the fact that she could realize this project with the digital printing partners Print all over me. A Online platform where everybody is able to collaborate, create and produce in real world. Another rule is the fact that Photochromia’s technological abilities are pretty basic; disappearing ink doesn’t perform nearly as many sophisticated tasks as some of Maxey’s competitors, like Ralph Lauren’s Polo Tech Shirt, which tracks biometric data from the wearer. she thinks that opening up how we think of wearable tech with projects like hers and others will help prepare people for what wearables might look like in the future.

COMMENTS

This kind of Projects are very investing in the way the designers work with new technologies and processes to create new and new ideas for the future living. For me it is wonderful that we  live now in the beginning of a new post digital era where old knowledge, techniques can be combined with new never before seen technologies to create individual and innovative projects with we are able to continue through open sources and platforms.
