Looking at people's quotidian existence in the 21st century, we see two remarkably innovative issues arising. The first involves the exploration of a possible contemporary culture and society, and the second deal with drastic changes in the media system. Within this context, the wildfire-like Maker Movement has become the momentum which links up these two issues. By virtue of social networks and the juxtaposed involvement of the real and the virtual, the bottom-up innovative power of the Maker Movement is predicted to completely alter the structure of traditional industries as well as the social, technological and educational dimensions of the world within the next decade. The Maker generation embraces the participatory culture, introducing technological practice into the intersection of human beings and technologies, and also embodying it in the interaction between communities and technologies. Against this background, this article applies anthropological methodology together with the phenomenology of technology, and the discourse of the participatory culture, to the case of FabLab Dynamic as a strategy for the investigation of the open source movement, connections within social networks, the collective imagination of social design, and the juxtaposed embodiment of Maker technologies. This article also aims to establish a clear picture of the cultural heritage underlying the Maker Movement. |
