Zusammenfassung:"Critical Making is a handmade book project by Garnet Hertz that explores how hands-on productive work-making-can supplement and extend critical reflection on technology and society. It works to blend and extend the fields of design, contemporary art, DIY/craft and technological development. It also can be thought of as an appeal to the electronic DIY maker movement to be critically engaged with culture, history and society: after learning to use a 3D printer, making an LED blink or using an Arduino, then what?"--Critical Making website (viewed on 5/07/13)
"The publication has 70 contributors-primarily from contemporary art and academia-and its 352 pages are bound in ten pocket-sized zine-like volumes. The project takes the topic of DIY culture literally by printing an edition of 300 copies on a hacked photocopier with booklets that were manually folded, stapled and cut. Academic publishing is at a point in history where it deserves to be questioned, and this project proposes that a small-scale run on a photocopier by one person can have more impact than an academic monograph from a major university press."--Critical Making website (viewed on 5/07/13)
