Thank you Sanna!

Talking on articles and making: This paper of mine has been recently
published (although it was written almost 3 years ago)

*Attachment, Durability and the Environmental Impact of Digital DIY*
The recent popularization of amateur design practices and digital
fabrication tools has been accompanied by a vast discourse announcing the
emergence of a new production and consumption paradigm. This new
participatory model has been assigned, among other benefits, environmental
advantages over more traditional ways of manufacture and trade. However,
most of these expectations are based on the possible rather than the actual
usage of digital tools. This article questions the assumption that digital
DIY is substituting mass production with a more sustainable model and
presents a different panorama of the implications of digital DIY based on
an ethnographic study of the FabLab Amsterdam users.

> 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.
