Esta semana hemos podido compartir puntadas y bordados con Ele Carpenter en el Open Design Shared Creativity International Conference que se ha realizado en el Barcelona dentro de la programación del FADfest.
Nos ha encantado el proyecto Open Source Embroidery (Bordado de Codigo Abierto) que ha presentado y en el que hemos colaborado, conjuntamente con muchos de los otros asistentes. Ha sido una experiencia maravillosa que os queremos explicar.
Ele Carpenter utiliza bordados y códigos como herramientas para investigar el lenguaje y la ética de la producción y la distribución participativa.
Los participantes del Open Design pudímos participar en el taller Embroidered Digital Coommons bordando partes de un fragmento del texto "A Concise Lexicon of / for the Digital Common" del Raqs Media Collective llamado "Ubiquity".
UBIQUITY
"Ubiquity: Everywhere-ness. The capacity to be in more than one site.
The simple fact of heterogeneous situation, a feature of the way in
which clusters of memes, packets of data, orbit and remain extant in
several nodal points within a system. The propensity of a meme towards
ubiquity increases with every iteration, for once spoken, it always
already exists again and elsewhere. It begins to exist and be active
(even if dormantly) in the person spoken to as well as in the speaker.
Stories, and the kernels of ideas travel in this way. A rescension, when
in orbit, crosses the paths of its variants. The zone where two orbits
intersect is usually the site of an active transaction and transfer of
meanings. Each rescension, carries into its own trajectory memes from
its companion. In this way, through the encounters between rescensions,
ideas spread, travel and tend towards ubiquity. That which is everywhere
is difficult to censor, that which is everywhere has no lack of allies.
To be ubiquitous is to be present and dispersed in 'no-des'. Sometimes,
ubiquity is the only effective answer to censorship and isolation."
La habilidad de nuestro Community Manager para hacer bordados deja bastante que desear... promete seguir mejorando en este arte :)
