Electronic Crafts / doing-it-ourselves.

01. Proposition
Investigate possible impact of democratization of innovation on the fields of product design and communication, focusing more specifically on electronics and physical computing technologies.
What kind of new approaches, products and models could emerge from a wide-spread movement of more and more people doing-it-themselves?
What would be the consequence to the world of design and interactive creation?

I am also interested in exploring and refining a methodology of electronic crafts based on practices similar to what is done at ITP and spreading trough already emerging open source hardware information networks.
What can a craftsmenship approach bring to the future of new technologies?
