All your innovation are belong to us hack66 was challenged by ARTos to take on something along the lines of “Innovation Night” at the Structure.
The initial impulse was one of sorrow for a sorely abused keyword, but then camerlengo started talking about how copyrighting and patenting have historically been used to delay development, and thearchitect connected this with issues of organic vs. closed growth in relation to open vs corporate structures, and then local started thinking about how this has everything to do with what we know about organisational conditions for creativity and participation.
So we have a lot to go on.

Meeting at the Structure Wednesday 18 May
ARTos's challenge day: Wednesday June 15

These could be presentations, but we're thinking of them as themes some of us are collecting material on.
