The Makers

{Gli artigiani digitali}

  Digital artisans, or simply "Makers", as they are commonly called, constitute a cultural movement of current times, and represent an extension, on a technological basis, of the traditional world of "do it yourself". Among the typical interests of the makers are engineering projects, such as electronic equipment, robotic designs, devices for 3D printing, and numerical control equipment.

The birth of the digital craft subculture is closely associated with the birth of hacker spaces, that is, spaces for collaborative innovation.

  {Gli artigiani digitali, o semplicemente "Makers", come sono comunemente chiamati, costi­tuiscono un movimento culturale dei tempi attuali, e rappresentano un'estensione, su b­ase tecnologica, del tradizionale mondo d­el “fai da te”. Tra gli interessi tipici­ dei makers vi sono le realiz­zazioni di tipo ingegneristico, come per esempio le app­arecchiature elettroniche, le realizzazioni­ robotiche, i dispositivi per la stampa 3D­, e le apparecchiature a controllo numerico­.

 ­La nascita della subcultura dell'artigia­nato digitale è strettamente associata a­lla nascita di spazi hacker, ovvero di s­pazi di innovazione collaborativa.}

“Makers are people who change mechanisms and components, economic models, and housing solutions, in order to discover new ways to get by and live happily even when the economy ends up in the toilet.”

{I makers sono gente che modifica mecc­anismi e componenti, modelli economici, ­e soluzioni abitative, al fine di scoprire modi­ nuovi per tirare avanti e vivere felici anche­ quando l'economia va a finire nel cesso­.}
