OFFLINE LIBRARIES – SHARING TACTICS.

TALK + DEMO  + COPYPARTY

Parte del programa de actividades paralelas del Máster en Investigación y Experimentación en Diseño).

Like book and music, board game has entered the era of reproducibility and distributed network. Here and there, game designers, publishers, collectives release their 3D checkers on-line or an entire game in print-and-play under a Creative Commons license.

Early 2015, Dcalk received a Research&Development Grant to develop the idea of a Ludobox (Digital Games Library), following the inspiring Piratebox and Librarybox initiatives that facilitates access & sharing of free digital content through a wifi routeur. And so does the Ludobox : it gathers free-licensed board games, cards games, urban games, role playing games, toys, video games as well as topical resources (publications, manuals, medias).

In this talk, Dcalk will go through the history and issues of offline networks and the Ludobox’ s prototyping as well as expand the topic to digital libraries to discuss the aspects of collection (curation, conservation, community) and mediation (offline combined with physical and online infrastructures), this type of device underlines. 

The talk will be followed by a demo to copy and share digital resources on #games #design #culture #libraryscience #education.

Actividad abierta y gratis.

"The Transition" / performance / 20 Oct

Known as “the Transition”, the period that followed the fall of the Romanian communist regime at the end of 1989 constitutes a nebula of socio-economic transformations. But what is really a transition ? In terms of physical experiences we are passing through so much thresholds during the day, such as doors, crosswalks, arcades, bridges, from sunset to nightfall: what can be the inner resonance of this?

Migration and self imposed identity re-engineering are tools more at hand for those who stopped believing in collective salvations. You could accelerate your personal transition toward a free market economy by emigrating. If you cannot wake up from the transition trance you might as well try another dream.

We don’t know where the transition movement is leading us: through some other states, to some other movements; this duration is moving us. The transition trance recounted with the support of food and animation.
