start by telling them what happened
over 100 years ago in england in
a little town that could have been
any part of the world in which
there was a contest in a cold the
won
there is a great exhibition and people
I had to guess how much that
bull
then they began to participate write down
a paper delivered to the owner and there was a
winner who was the one who was safest to the
value of the weight of the bull
the interesting thing about this is that a moment
it seemed francis galton a thinker of
the time did something quite simple is
an average like all values and that
average was very, very, very similar
to the real weight of the bull
we are talking about the bull weighing a thousand
199 pounds and the power to 1,197 a
almost scary precision
so what does this mean
that already more than 100 years ago
we know that intelligence exists
collective and what I ask myself
We know how to make use of your
collective intelligence as part of
of this because the capacity that it has
a brain solves problems
certain age some closer
or less others left a very couple
above as below but the
capacity that has even a super
brain composed of 800 people who
they were the one who participated has a
potential capable of solving a problem
like this with enough precision
interesting and this is something that we
We are wondering
my team and I as students of the
uba industrial designers sa
graduates a career which we
love solving problems
we love transforms technology the
design to solve real problems
of society and one that we are
presented this braille print
and what is wrong with this no
content
It is not inaccessible why because
technology that you can print on
braille and make it accessible
the real printers are very expensive
this is a problem for education
for culture for communication is
Braille printing is so important
for people and as well as the
investment in ink for people
who see then here we did a lot
we have a problem something that there is
solve and that has not been submitted
first, well, you are very much
investigate are researchers must
know first we analyze that what
exists
we found on the internet there was a
lots of videos uploaded from people who
had developed had given
account this problem and there was
Braille printers made from
zero will receive from ink printers
in technical schools in universities
people in their homes that are not
very cool academics
we started to analyze all these videos
and we have many doubts
we started to see how he solved such
aspect as it solved other issues
things that are this fundamental detail
is the problem we had is that
when we asked him how he solves
such thing did not respond
but why is this video so
they went up a long time ago and with a
account that they no longer use or do not remember
which was about five years ago or
directly does not want to tell you that
this project is mine and that’s what
that also happens a lot that ‘s what
it’s good to do I take care of
this as students only here
also many students the
universities more than anything in which
are of generation items
content is one to wonder how much
of all that content is really
society available when all this
content is not lost in a pc in
some hard drive to inspired by
a format that is no longer valid that already
it does not exist and the truth is that very little
then what we said good
here we have a problem we have
this super brain is present so much
the actors is that potential but not
is being used
so the problem is not
technology the first the problem in the
knowledge transfer that is
What we proposed to do is
good first refill
the problem was not this was this one then
start imagining that what is
it could be positive earlier
what is this a printed in the style of
family yourself
what does this mean a printer
braille that a person can do it in
your house in a workshop with minimum
tools with minimal knowledge
technicians but is the result of a
conventional production process or is
that did not leave a factory and also
what we want to do is
we essentially want to start
work in blocks one above the
other
that is, not scattered knowledge like
scattered brick and nothing but
knowledge added to create a
common project not only in the
research and development but
also production what are we
doing
this is how it is open science
uu opensource as it is known in English
that for those who know nothing about the subject
I tell him that’s what already exists and
I’m going to apply it
synthetically in two parts first
it has to do with this
with the aforementioned super brain with
use this potential to solve
problems to generate a development and
this you will say to me good but as
you see how is my experience looks like this
like a lot of people working in
lugano in samiel lavallol wintry in the
silver what started as a job
practical academic and ended without a
project that if I take flight of people
working complementing knowledge
some are called electronic others
in addition to design programming
starting to work collaboratively
in the same project
some academics and others do not and this
results produced good this one
Braille printer that turns out ten times
more economical much more accessible with
the ability to print the code
braille and if you did not disarm
ink printer that has broken in its
house as a downtown area are very complex
there are a million pieces it is something that
you take the technical service says no no
It can
to have to throw buy ‘from another
because it is complex and this is like all
we know is designed to be that way
and we industrial designers
We know better than anyone else but here if
you notice government is
synthesized simplified design to
minimum so that anyone can
understand what he could not assemble assembling
can repair
even if you get to break some
part and we started using on the one hand
standard pieces that are easy prey for
get
they are accessible they are economical in
anywhere in the world can be
get the spare parts that after
we do not know where to look for it
on the other hand arduino electronics that
for those who do not know is a
electronic methodology for people who
does not know electronics that is to say
beginners where I buy the
platelets plugged them in they tell me what
I have to do them lowered the brain and
It is done
and the most interesting thing is the impression
3d as for example the celestial pieces
which is seen in any of the bands to
these company pieces between them are
key because it makes one
download a file take it to the
company three of equal
I have a piece of precision that is
same and macao in which part of the world
and you will say good but who
has a 3d printer mere tool
accessible good the truth that the
3d printers is no longer something of the future
It is not something we will talk about it
its a reality happens there are many
people with 3d printers in all
parts of the country two parts of the world and
This is because what should be done?
it is due to that also to
3d printers opensource open defense
it’s a project that already exists
3D printing is actually something
something old
for example if you see in these pictures
which seems more expensive of the two
realities an industrial 3d printer
that left a factory are
very expensive nobody can have one in
your house let’s say there already exist a
lot but it is next for
example this one is called Russian and 3 is a
open source printer model that was
designed collect collectively
collaboratively
that is, many people who started
develop to contribute in one
project to generate a design that
also uses standard parts
also uses pieces made in 3d and
they begin to generate a design that is
easy to assemble to repair and it
begin to turn versions even
different versions of models like
this one in reality and others you can not
download the internet plans
the other important axis until I speak
that there are two to define opensource of
our experience
the other that is also very important
it has to do with the sovereignty of
knowledge
what does this mean the science is
find liberated decentralized
because generally if we
we think that knowledge is
find an entity to which we
we have to agree to the permit and maybe
we can access that knowledge or such
time not
alex is a secret change in this way
we started working generating networks
collectively in the same project not
only globally but also
at the country level at the regional level
city
we started to have a connection that is
very interesting because we share the
same social economic reality
cultural
so it ‘s interesting to think about this
this territorial mark and also
it is important as a student
university in my case the
public university only here there
many public university graduates
realizing that we have the
responsibility not only to defend the
public education that is
violated but also of the
responsibility to take care of that
science belongs to all and for all
thank you very much
