This book aims to put in common the strategies, methodologies, motivations, and experiences of a wide range of young creators, organizers, and business owners in art, design, technology, academia, and Internet culture in order to document the spirit of DIY in the digital age.
Rather than attempt to bring an immediate answer that would soon be obsolete, we want to depict a panorama of what is around us and what we are looking at today as artists and creators. In so doing, we aim also to put the conversations and methodologies of open source and free culture in dialogue with contemporary art and design practice.

COLPA is a publishing company in San Francisco, California that specializes in hand-made art books and limited edition prints. These publications challenge the relationship between printmaking and concept, creating objects in a reciprocal dialog with the way in which they are produced.

This interview is with COLPA founders, Luca and Carissa.
Art Review and Preview (ARP!) was an independent arts newspaper that published 12 issues (11 newspapers and one book), in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA from 2007-2010.
ARP! sought to re-examine what a "local art scene" is, and could be. With a quarterly distribution of 5,000 copies, the publication fostered the growth of community through its open submissions process and compassionate, persevering editorial approach. This interview is with the trio that ran the ship: founders and editors Ariel Pate, Tiff Hockin, and Troy Pieper.
Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay est chercheuse au CNRS à l'Institut des Sciences de la Communication depuis 2010 et responsable juridique bénévole pour Creative Commons France depuis 2003. Elle parle de la notion de culture libre dans le cadre juridique des licences Creative Commons, créées il y a une dizaine d'années, d'abord aux États-Unis puis dans plusieurs pays dont la France pour étendre les usages permis par le droit d'auteur. Ces licences permettent aux auteurs d'autoriser le partage, l'utilisation, le remix et la redistribution d'œuvres musicales, visuelles, artistiques et littéraires dans un cadre légal.
Victor discusses how he uses photography, video, and storytelling to put a human face on Wikipedia to help people understand the role they can play in building the world's largest and most popular encyclopedia. As a veteran Wikipedia contributor since 2005, Victor celebrates the manner in which the encyclopedia presents global opportunity for participation and challenges the commercially oriented fabric that has begun weaving itself into the Internet. He describes his creative process and strategies for interviewing volunteers alongside discussion of the utility of Wikipedia for sharing his own photographs, revealing the manner in which the Wikimedia Commons can function as an altruistic alternative to a gallery: increasing exposure to one’s art work and contributing to the enterprise of free knowledge.
