Writing technology
Allow non specialist to enter to make  the technoloy itself culturaly diverse
technology is
Hacking toys
use and abuse
re-appropriating
remove the narrative
stars with computer interfaces
http://lowtech.propositions.org.uk
Only takes hours to get confidence in hardware
Remove narrative (case or fur)
Combine for a new social space
...is a great example
touch/sound sensor -> light/sound actuator
triggers on most toys
can trigger a relay
but there is more...
Reorient
reconfigurable house
scattered house
If the cat is a building block, 
and we get 20.000 other toys as well, 
and use this open simplicity to get
30-40 people of various professions
to join and build and rebuild...
open process of forms and behaviours
(arduino driven)
reusing reorient building blocks
opening behaviour (interaction, responsiveness...) 
for the 'audience'
opening the making for 'audience'
(pachube driven)
However...
from my experience at Kitchen Budapest
I get serious as bullet points
Access to make is followed by access to share
We get into products. We get into mass production
We get into investment and capital and roi
Even patents!
But its all fine, as I was interested in cultural diversity

Bengt Sjölén had a good point, that the cost of unique production is converging to zero, so this arguments will not be true on the near future
