Adventures in autonomy are reaching another peak this week with the Human Rights Makerlab due to finish tomorrow. Crazy to think that just 3 weeks ago, a group of people (some of whom didn’t even meet until the event), embarked on a crazy mission to co-create an event at the DMY. Videos, Magazines, Pics, and […]

Chaordinators Toolbox: The Planning Party (Human Rights MakerLab case study)
The MakerLab is an autonomous event, it’s a co-created action. This autonomy functions best within a frame (note: I still need to write the post on frame design), and has to begin somewhere. The Planning Party marks the beginning of opening the process – an event catalyst to begin actions, inspire and create opportunities for […]
Living in Beta: Building a Beta World
Living in Beta: Meta
My life is a prototype, I am a prototype, my room is a prototype, everything in the world is a prototype.This idea appeared to resonate from my talk at re:publica – more applied to the world as a whole. But I feel it warrants more attention and clarification of personal intention. “The world is our […]

Have you seen this man? So the Web is a buzz (or at least a good contingent of one of the overlapping niches I follow) with discussion on the New Aesthetic. But I fear the visual focus may result in us missing the real area of intrigue. As Bruce Sterling commented: “I left with the […]
Brainfarht: Ethical Production “Knock offs”
Just a provocation. Somebody should start copying major brands, but produce their wares more fairly and locally. Selling a higher value item at a sustainable price. Rather than cheap knock offs, these would be more expensive or same price but with added social value. Social and environmental value should be noted and also promoted. It […]
Living in Beta: The Tree House
My new residence, formerly known as the Living Pod, can now officially be called The Tree House. As now it has a tree on which to stand. Another may […]
Idea Midwifery 1: The Pocket Whiteboard
I posted a blog on this this sometime ago, but wordpress failed me and deleted the whole thing. But since the idea is now already growing and evolving, breeding and having babies. I’ll be interested to see what happens now when it’s memes are more readily adopted. Idea Midwifery is designing without ego, it places […]
