Hackers’ gesture is expected to be relatively invisible, both as a process and a result. Their level of expressivity is quite low.
The idea is to capture in different ways an unexpected emotional, aesthetic, material, dynamic.
With pictures (or other artistic artifacts), contributors are invited to visit hacker spaces and hacker places in Berlin (21st– 23rd June).
The results will be exhibited during RGCS Symposium the 16th December in Paris (Mairie de Paris).

We will organize an off-the-track workshop this year at the Academy of Management (Anaheim, 5th-10th August).
Join us if you are interested in collaborative communities, collaborative spaces, collaborative movements (coworkers, makers, fabbers, hackers…) and work transformations at large (new mobilities, telework, digital nomads, slashers, etc).
Very good cookies will be waiting for you 🙂

Management is a tricky, pervasive word today. Everybody manages something: a budget, a house, a family, a team, a car… Beyond the omnipresence of management as a discourse and buzzwords, what is less obvious is the growing transformative effect of management (as a practice) on our everyday lives. Management transforms deep dimensions of our sense of togetherness and even, political life. The way we move inside and outside the city, the way we express (or not) ourselves in the context of public debates, modes of legitimacy and representativeness, are deeply changed, in particular by contemporary entrepreneurs and their disruptive business models. Their models are not only disruptive for their industry. There are also (and more and more) transformative for democracy, public infrastructure and public life at large.
The political effects of management are not new. In the 20s and 30s, Henry Ford, with his T model, also changed American society, … Read more

Pour la plupart des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales, financer un projet scientifique est loin d’être une sine cure. Les organismes publics sont peu nombreux. Les possibles financeurs privés le sont d’avantage. La concurrence pour s’attirer leur bonne grâce est cependant devenue très intense. Et il est difficile pour un chercheur en économie, en sociologie, en psychologie ou même en management de rendre très tangible à court terme ses valeurs ajoutées.
A force de côtoyer des acteurs de l’économie collaborative, et de commencer à suivre des tiers-lieux mobilisant des monnaies virtuelles*, de « reconnaissances » ou d’ « estime », une idée à commencer à germer dans mon esprit ces derniers mois : celle d’un bitcoin académique.
Comment transposer le mécanisme des monnaies virtuelles aux communautés académiques ? Plutôt que de monter un projet ANR ou Horizon 2020, comment s’appuyer sur les logiques mêmes de l’économie collaborative ? … Read more
