Open Source Architecture Manifesto movie
Istanbul Design Biennial 2012: this movie shows how a custom printer continually updates a copy of the Open Source Architecture Manifesto Wikipedia entry, written on a wall in the entrance to the Adhocracy exhibition at the Istanbul Design Biennial.
The project began over a year ago, when editor of Domus magazine and curator of the Adhocracy show Joseph Grima asked Italian studio Carlo Ratti Associatti to write a manifesto for open source architecture.
The studio decided to start a Wikipedia page about open-source architecture, so it could be continually updated by the online community.
For the biennial they have created a kinetic installation that demonstrates how the page keeps evolving as it is added to and altered.
They have installed a vertical plotter in the entrance of the Adhocracy exhibition that writes, erases and rewrites sections of the manifesto onto a whiteboard as it receives changing information from the Wikipedia page.
