*Overview*
-----------------------------------------------------------
Making is hot. A ‘maker culture’ is emerging and a focus on making and
skills is retaking a presence in society at its broadest. For example,
we see a re-appreciation for the skills in education where there is a
growing interest in learning by doing and craft schools re-entering
higher academic levels. And also the work of Richard Sennett, Tim
Ingold, and Vilem Flusser, to name just a few, has given the skills a
new foothold in academia. We wonder if these observations point to a new
appreciation of the bodily skills and the first signs of the elimination
of the classic separation of body and mind.
“Making” is far broader than skilled manual labor. Making is about
understanding in practice, and it is inextricably tangled with an active
engagement with the material world and culture. Still, it is important
to realize that the notion of making has evolved in different ways from
traditional craftsmanship.
The new ‘maker culture’, promoted by fab labs, DIY, maker and hacker
spaces, is an utilitarian hybrid of software and hardware ‘tinkering’
that stands far apart from the quality that skilled craftsman of before
would bring. Being motivated by self-fulfillment and desire to do good
work for its own sake, the makers privilege assembling technologies into
physical objects and fabricate new devices. Attention to formal and
interactive qualities of the designed objects is not at the forefront of
their creations.
However, the maker philosophy has attracted the interest of
professionals, educators, practitioners and the academic community for
the informal, open, networked, peer-led and shared learning, for its
potential to create new pathways into technology development and for
experimenting with a new economic model for growth and innovation that
is not based on mass production and long production chains.
In this special issue we aim to portrait broad perspective on making,
welcoming multidisciplinary contributions and viewpoints. We would like
this special issue to be a feast of variety that gives handles on making
in as many ways as possible.
