创客社区：空间与实践
Maker Communities: A Landscape of Spaces and Practices
讲座摘要 ABSTRACT
通过更具社会包容性的技术实践，新的权力赋予和经济转型的叙事近年来以“创客运动”的名义发展起来。在传统工作体系的边缘，各种各样的人和组织在重新定义生产过程的实践中找到了共同的兴趣和目标。在许多城市中，诸如创客空间、黑客空间、自造实验室和联合工作空间等一系列新场所在不断地推动传播这种新的生产、工作和思考方式。这些创意社区和空间通常代表着对传统生产生态系统的扰乱。因此，一些国家和大公司将其吸纳为自身创新策略的一部分。在本讲座中，我们将介绍在中国、欧洲和美国，这些行为产生的多元社会环境和采取的多样空间形式。我们将考虑工业创新的本地实践和全球叙事如何塑造了城市的现实。
New narratives of empowerment and economic transformation through a more socially inclusive practice of technology has recently developed under the name of “maker movement”. A heterogeneous group of people and organisations have found a common ground in redefining processes of production at the margin of the traditional working system. In numerous cities, an array of new places such as makerspaces, hackerspaces, fablabs, co-working spaces have been promoting these new ways of producing, working and thinking. These creative communities and spaces generally represent an accepted disruption of the traditional fabrication ecosystem, and have therefore partly been coopted by states and large companies as part of their innovation strategies. During this lecture, we will take a look at some of the multiple social settings and spatial forms taken by these initiatives in China, Europe and the US. By doing so, we will consider how local practices and global narratives around industrial innovation are shaping urban realities.
