Intro
In this book I present articles related to my research into formats and methodologies that will allow experimentation with everything operating in the intersection of free (open) digital networks and everyday life.

I suggest there is a huge potential in fostering the development of innovation also as a driver for social change, starting from a dialogue between the commons - open and networked production - and what could be called post-digital - the internet of things, physic computing, domestic fabrication, locative media and the like. There is still another line crossing these references: incorporating and valuing typically brasilian cultural traces such as the gambiarra as everyday creativity and the mutirão as dynamic and change-oriented sociability.leia mais >>
