In questo articolo i ‘pr-oggetti’ descritti forniscono alcune provocanti risposte alle seguenti questioni: perchè parliamo di design a Istanbul? Come i sistemi open-source e le stampanti 3D cambiano la produzione e l’autorialità degli oggetti? Come l’open-design emancipa l’utente? Quindi, quali sono le implicazioni sociali e politiche nella condivisione partecipata della conoscenza attraverso le nuove tecnologie?
