NODUS TALKS: Open Design, Open Society?

CINDY KOHTALA is a Postdoctoral researcher in Aalto University, who has examined how digital fabrication communities in FabLabs and makerspaces address environmental issues. Open Design relates to both designing things as well as communities: self-organizing groups who decide what to design and how to do it.

JASON SELVARAJAN has studied Environmental Engineering. His water recycling and energy recovering shower filtration system called Showerloop examplifies open hardware that can be adapted almost anywhere. Its various prototypes have been displayed in events such as OSCE Days Helsinki or POC21 near Paris, France.
