Abstract

This workshop aims to bring people from academic and corporate organisations together to facilitate discussions about the different reasons for developing and sharing prototypes, as well as to provide a forum for the attendees to share methods, tools and techniques for supporting the creative design process. The seeding of this discussion aims to inspire the attendees to further these ideas within their organisations, and through this integrate the 'hacker' mindset - the idea of putting together existing resources in a clever fashion to suit other purposes [6] -- into their own development methodology.

We present a qualitative study based on interviews with nine IKEA Hackers - people who go online to share the process of repurposing IKEA products to create personalized objects. Whether they were making a self-conscious artistic statement or simply ...
Democratizing technology: pleasure, utility and expressiveness in DIY and maker practice
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

DIY, hacking, and craft have recently drawn attention in HCI and CSCW, largely as a collaborative and creative hobbyist practice. We shift the focus from the recreational elements of this practice to the ways in which it democratizes design and ...
