Reframing Innovation for Post-growth
While traditional science, technology and innovation (STI) policy has emphasised protecting intellectual property through patents and copyright, evidence suggests these tools may not optimally serve both innovators and society. Alternative innovation approaches based on openness and shared technology are emerging that could better address societal needs while supporting more sustainable production. We examine the development of 3D printing techno…
Envisioning energy futures through visual images
Beyond global versus local
A reconceptualisation of technology, as a vital component of modern society cutting across all its other aspects, is required to achieve social and environmental sustainability. This paper presents a convivial technology development framework using the concept of “cosmolocal” production. The latter captures the dynamic of dispersed technology initiatives, which exhibit conceptualisations of living, working and making around the commons. It is a s…
Can Communities Produce Complex Technology? Looking Into Space for Insight
This article examines a community producing complex space technology. We attempt to highlight which aspects of the community’s activities can help democratize high-tech development while providing a context for similar cases involved in developing and manufacturing nonhigh-technological artefacts. We discuss how this has been made possible by using a technology-determined organizational approach based on the CubeSat open platform infrastructure, …
Energy governance as a commons
Transitioning into a sustainable energy system is becoming ever more pressing as the reality of an anthropogenic ecological crisis becomes difficult to ignore. Due to the complexity of the matter, proposed solutions often address the symptoms of the current socioeconomic configuration rather than its core. To conceptualise possible future energy systems, this Perspective focuses on the disconnect between science and technology and engineering stu…
From private to public governance
Introduction
Today, two great signs of change are occurring. On the one hand, the capitalist world economy is putting tremendous pressure on the earth’s biosphere and bringing an onslaught of destruction to immediate environments and vulnerable people worldwide. On the other hand, the rise of new and progressive social-economic foundations is the result of an unprecedented increase of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Therefore it is arguably…

The Materiality of the Immaterial: ICTs and the Digital Commons, edited by Andreas Roos, Vasilis Kostakis, Christos Giotitsas Today, two great signs of change are occurring.

A peer-to-peer approach to energy production
Production and governance in hackerspaces
This article deals with the phenomenon of hackerspaces and sheds light on the relationship of their underlying values, organizational structures and productive processes to those of the online communities of Commons-based peer production projects. While hackerspaces adopt hybrid modes of governance, this article attempts to identify patterns, trends and theory that can frame their production and governance mechanisms. Using a diverse amount of li…
The (A)Political Economy of Bitcoin
The still raging financial crisis of 2007–2008 has enabled the emergence of several alternative practices concerning the production, circulation and use of money. This essay explores the political economy of the Bitcoin ecosystem. Specifically, we examine the context in which this digital currency is emerging as well as its nature, dynamics, advantages, and disadvantages. We conclude that Bitcoin, a truly interesting experiment, exemplifies "dist…
