01. Open P2P Design workshops

The last part of the November 2009 tour took place very far, in South Korea (in Seoul) and in Singapore where I facilitated two workshops together with Roger Pitiot. Both workshops share the same structure and contents, even if the Singapore one had to be one day shorter (3 days instead of 4).
Let’s start reporting these workshops with the structure and the contents, something we had been working for months and we can easily replicate in other contexts in the future.
With the next posts I will explain in details what has been done in both workshops.

I finally have time for writing about the November 2009 tour for openp2pdesign.org: let’s start with the Media Ecologies and Post-Industrial Production Workshop in Manchester.

Unfortunately I could not be present there because of the many travels to do in November, so we arranged a skype presentation. There were some problems and therefore I recorded my voice over the presentation. Here it is, and forgive me for the bad audio recording, I was sick with flu that day!

With some months of delay, I’m covering in this post the process and the outcome of the Post-Industrial Design Workshop at I Realize, in Turin on June 09th 2009. I’m sorry for the delay, but both me and Giorgio have been very busy since then (I will blog about my others 2009 projects soon).
So here’s the description of the process and the outcomes we co-designed there.
