The Arts and Crafts Movement was largely a reaction against the impoverished state of the decorative arts at the time and the conditions in which they were produced. It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often applied medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. It advocated economic and social reform and has been said to be essentially anti-industrial.

#Advancity An open system of de-istitutionalized knowledge and culture that works concurrently in order to deal with problems and invent new items both social, material or immaterial

Cleveland Museum of Art Marcel Breuer 1967-70

[..] You say to a brick, ‘What do you want, brick?’ And brick says to you, ‘I like an arch.’

And you say to brick, ‘Look, I want one, too, but arches are expensive and I can use a concrete lintel.’ And then you say: ‘What do you think of that, brick?’ Brick says: ‘I like an arch.’

“Science is Young!”

Kevin Kelly 2003

An ever changing Science?

Biohackers Alessandro Delfanti 2013 Biohacking is the practice of engaging biology with the hacker ethic.

Biohacking encompasses a wide spectrum of practices and movements ranging from DIY body-enhancements to DIY biologists who conduct at-home gene sequencing.

Biohacking emerged in a growing trend of non-institutional science and technology development.

Open Access Movement Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly research.

It is most commonly applied to scholarly journal articles, but it is also increasingly being provided to theses, book chapters, and scholarly monographs.

Citizen Science Once the exclusive domain of industry experts, science is crossing over into wider society thanks to open-source tools, affordable technologies and an inclusive community spirit.

Able to uncover useful insights into product development, consumer behaviour and even big data, businesses should ally themselves with the new citizen scientist.
