‘Yes, we’re open.’ is an exhibition on how our networked society is reshaping the way we create, produce and consume.

Exhibition overview + open design manual can be downloaded at http://www.intrastructures.net/yes_we_re_open.pdf

The poster by Thomas Lommee is a really great overview of open design principles and manufacturing, and shows an integrated vision of this new domain.

The event will take place in Kortrijk, Belgium, from October 8 to the 25th.

Below are the guiding principles of this integrated vision:

* In a networked society, Investment is about sharing beliefs, leading towards decentralised financing platforms.

* In a networked society, Design is about sharing ideas, leading towards a common design vocabulary.

* In a networked society, Production is about sharing tools and workshops, leading towards flexible, small-scale production

* In a networked society, Retail is about sharing interests, leading towards a reconnection between makers and buyers.

* In a networked society, Consumption is about sharing experiences, leading towards customer-driven innovation.

* In a networked society, Recycling is about sharing materials, leading towards closed material cycles
