12 days. 110 people from all over the world.

One mission: design a commons-based society.

to make/to know/to be

lab

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 welcome!

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 - a co-design jam to develop an open toolkit for communities and local players to embrace the collaborative paradigm.

Rural Making Lab - an hybridation path between permaculture and digital fabir-cation, 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 4th of July!

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

The final result of this lab will be the release of an open governance toolkit to provide solutions and to foster a collaborative mindset within local and central authorities, in order to reach a turning point where collaborative practices become key elements of territorial strategic development.

Specifically, the toolkit aims at activating inclusive co-design processes engaging with the active citi-zenship, local decision makers, businesses, residents, and all the pro-active local players. The Collab-orative Territories Toolkit help helps territories to self-determine their strategy in line with smart, sus-tainable and inclusive development, identifying locally perceived challenges and enabling already available resources and solutions that arise from the emerging paradigm of the collaborative econo-my.

In the long term the Collaborative Territories Toolkit aims to create a compelling strategy for a sustain-able value chain-based development, in contrast to pure profit-driven unlimited growth. In order to do that, it is essential to identify the impact of the suggested solutions on citizens and local govern-ment. Furthermore, by eliciting the governance models that can be adopted, it will help clarify 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:

A journey of 10 days for makers and permaculturist to understand the potential of the hybridation be-tween 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.

29th JuneWe will meet in the morning at the Incartata,Rural Hub's headquarter, we will have lunch and together we will settle in the camp at I Mulini area. During the afternoon the program of the whole experience will be presented.

30th JuneEco-Buildings: We will create our own space realizing a geodesic dome with recovered material founded in the area.

1st of JulyRenewable Energy #1: we will build a pyrolytic oven to heat water.

2nd - 3rd of JulyRenewable Energy #2: we will produce electrical energy building an hydroelectric turbine to power tools and lights.

4th - 6th of JulyDigital Fabrication Lab: we will have 3D printers, laser cutting machines and microcontrellers like Ardui-no to experience a rapid prototyping approach in the rural context.

7th - 8th of JulyHuman in the ecosystem: we will design and realize a vegetable garden studying the intercropping and learning how to manage the soil. We will study and build the hives, in traditional variants, permacultural and open-source. We’ll use carpentry and digital fabrication tools.

9ft - 10th of JulyHackathon!: We’ll split into groups and use all what we have learned in the previous days to propose an innovative solution for the transition.After lunch we say goodbye to each other, ending the camp.

Today, the definition of human being is going through a very marked transition. Emotions and 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 biologization of com-munication technologies are increasingly turning emotions and desire into quantifiable functions of the market.

Moreover, with the knowledge and technical skill available today, the sphere in which inten-tional intervention in nature is possible will be further expanded. Alternative IP regimes such as open-access and open-source are already helping to leverage the cost for re-search 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 at the 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 at different scales of the living: 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 diffusion of powerful technologies that allow the civil society to keep and bring back nature within the domain of the Com-mons.

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

A meeting to define the notion of bio-value in the era of biotechnology. 3 days of uncon-ferences, workshops and biohacking to keep building the Bio-Commons together.

"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 living at the edge. An edge that is neither inside nor outside the modernity, shaping these experience into critical elements to rethink and perform new forms of future.

We look forward to meet you at 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.
