One mission: design a commons-based society.

The socio-economic system that has characterized the development of industrial society

no longer responds to the growing need foradaptation of the network society to the pressing global challenges.

Our interest is focused on the collaborative economy by and for people, based on

economic models that creates social and environmental distributed value.

Theory and practice to enable the transition to economies based on emerging collaborative

practices, to promote their shift from marginal to dominant paradigms.

An experience that aims to combine the skills of Homo sapiens and Homo faber to bind

tradition and innovation, locality and globality.

The Homo ludens is also invited to join us!

Commons Camp

The mission of the Commons Camp is to build and nurture a collaborative society, bridging people, organisations and ideas.

We want to experiment a contamination of thinking and making, connecting the dots between makers and permaculturists, hackers and biohackers, researchers and artists, local administrations and social innovators.

The Commons Camp is structured in 3 parallel labs:

Collaborative Territories Lab - co-design jam to develop an open toolkit for com-munities and local players to embrace the collaborative paradigm.

Rural Making Lab - an hybridation path between permaculture and digital fabirca-tion, to experiment different technologies that aims to reach energetic, food and housing self-sufficiency;

Bio-Commons Lab - theoretical and practical experience around biohacking and bioartistic approach to reflect on the need of keeping the living a commons, and make life sciences open and decentraised.

All this will be mixed up with lots of fun, indie music and local food. Do not miss the FoodStock Festival the 5th of July!

With the Collaborative Territories Lab we want to lay the foundations for an extended open stand-ard of collaborative territories development programs. A series of organisations and individuals will gather during a five days design jam to put their expertise in building a common standard of actionable knowledge that tackle some of the major challenges of our society.

The final result of the Lab will be the release of an open governance toolkit to provide solutions and to foster a collaborative mindset within local and central authorities, reaching a turning point where collaborative practices became key elements of territorial strategic development.

In particular the toolkit aims at activating inclusive co-design processes engaging with the active citizenship, local decision makers, businesses, residents, and all the pro-active local players. The Collaborative Territories Toolkit help territories to self-determine their strategy in line with smart, sustainable and inclusive development, identifying locally perceived challenges and enabling already available resources and solutions that comes from the emerging paradigm of the collabo-rative economy.

On the long-term, the Collaborative Territories Toolkit means to create a compelling strategy for a sustainable value-chain based development, in contrast to pure profit-driven illimitate growth. In order to do that, is essential to identify the impacts on citizens and local government, of the solu-tions it suggest. Furthermore, by eliciting the governance models that can be adopted, it clearify the role that local governments and other local players can take on.

During the Collaborative Territories Lab we will work on several aspects of the toolkit:

Ethnography and Design epistemologyCo-design methodologies in territorial strategic developmentCommunication and Transmedial narrativeEconomical sustainability;Social impact;Collaborative governance and legislative aspects;Quantitative analysis

TRANSITION

A journey of 10 days for makers and permaculturist to understand the potential of the hybridation between permaculture and digital fabrication. Self-sufficiency through construction, design, agriculture and innovation.The Rural Making lab will take place in the Mulini area and will provides a learning path through six workshops. You can choose to participate to the full experience or come only for specific workshops.

1. Eco-Buildings: We will create our own space realizing a geodesic dome with recov-ered material founded in the area.

2. Digital Fabrication Lab: We will have 3D printers and laser cutting machines to expe-rience a rapid prototyping approach in the rural context.

3. Renewable Energy: We will produce electrical energy building an hydroelectric tur-bine to power tools and lights. Combining permaculture and digital fabrication we will build a pyrolytic oven to heat water.

4. Synergetic Laboratory: We will design and realize a vegetable garden studying the intercropping and learning how to manage the soil.

5. The Science of the Bees: We will study and build the hives, in traditional variants, permacultural and open-source, helping the natural environment through the bees. Well use carpentry and digital fabrication tools.

6. Hackathon!: We will choose the best project. We'll split into groups and use all what we have learned in the previous six days to propose an innovative solution for the tran-sition.

Today, the definition of human being is going through a very marked transition. The emo-tions and the desire as fundamental expressions of the body and of human existence, have moved from the domain of philosophy and aesthetics at the center of media theory. The new types of media and networks face in real time on a hillside where the increasing biolo-gization of communication technologies makes emotions and desire increasingly quantifi-able functions of the market.

Moreover, with increasing knowledge and technical skill, the sphere in which intentional in-tervention in nature are possible will further be expanded. Alternative IP regimes such as open-access and open-source are already helping to leverage the cost for research and development in the life sciences.

Citizens proposed a Bio-Commons model, made of technological and legal frameworks, to put the living and the innovation of life sciences into service of society and at the same time limit the potential misuse of knowledge and material. In the Bio-Commons lab we will extend this research project with other groups, nailing down case-studies to test the Bio-Commons license model to other scale of living things: from molecule to human and non-human bodies, from species to ecosystems. We want to explore novel forms of ethical and juridical deliberation, empowered by the diffussion of powerful technologies that allow the civil society to keep and bring back nature in to the Commons.

How does the tangible and intangible commons of the living can be protected through new forms of legal order and ubiquitous technology?

A meeting to define what is bio-value and bio-capital in the age of ubiquitous biotechnol-ogies and of smart communities. 3 days of unconferences, workshops and biohacking to build togehter the Bio-Commons.

"The key is in to re-gard the places, in the double sense of respect them and to get back at them. Franco Cassano

The digitized universe in which we live every day can now be represented as a domain of complex narrative, in which the techniques of storytelling become powerful tools that can be used to give new light to the ele-ments that characterize the history and culture of rural places in their specific sense: the identity, traditions and landscape.

Sound, technology, new media are invaluable tools to describe a rural area, and it's not just a stereotyped story.

The interconnected present reduce geographical barriers and eliminates the difference between the modern metropolitan and rural areas which anchored to the past. This process have the ability to powefully project in the infosphere all the innovative experiences of those who have chosen to experiment with new forms of life at the edge. An edge that is neither inside nor outside the modernity, shaping these experience into critical el-ements to rethink and perform new forms of future.

We want to see you in the CommonsCamp, a #smartrurality experience held in the liminal areas of RuralHub, to rediscover the importance of determining the boundaries between what we knew and what we should know.
