“…Such analytic creativity is one of the drivers of the hacker and maker culture at large (cf. Richterich, Wenz 2017). It is in line with Sicart's ideas of "play as a dance of resistance and appropriation, of creation and destruction of order" (Sicart 2014, p. 98).…”

“…Even though technology may be central to the ways in which hackers express themselves (Coleman, Golub 2008), the level of technical expertise varies and does not have to involve coding skills. What is more characteristic of hacking is the moment of playing with and re-appropriating anything that seems to be a given -an attitude that is also expressed by the greater hacker and maker culture (Richterich, Wenz 2017).…”

<p>This paper describes how hacking can be the act of redefining what is seen and not seen in the context of online surveillance. Based on a qualitative interview study with 22 hackers, it discusses the many practices and purposes of ‘hacking online surveillance’, with a specific focus on the techniques of disappearing from view while continuing to be online. Not only do these techniques vary in style and the expertise involved, but they all fulfill multiple functions. They are more than just a coded statement against the uneven powers of surveillance, they are tactics of the everyday life, moments of analytical creativity and reflection, instances of pleasure and play, affective encounters, identity work and forms of communication. The paper dedicates space to these sometimes overlapping and sometimes differing conceptualizations of ‘hacking online surveillance’ by using methodologies that consciously seek out the nonlinear and the multiple.</p>

“…This special issue presents a targeted examination of DIY maker culture that profoundly acknowledges and investigates some of its diverse historical precedents, which play an important role in present practices and strategic visions even if unseen. Maker culture tends to refer to current communities, activities and projects in shared community workshops (fab labs and makerspaces), and/or electronics tinkering projects documented in online repositories and glossy magazines, but these endeavours are informed by more diverse practices than are always recognised (Richterich/Wenz 2017b). Activities considered "low-tech", the non-digital in DIY (Do-It-Yourself) cultures, are often pushed aside in the rush to promote the most photogenic high-tech tools, such as 3D printers, laser cutters and computer numeric-controlled (CNC) routers.…”

As DIY digital maker culture proliferates globally, research on these practices is also maturing. Still, particular terminologies dominate beyond their Western contexts, and technocultural histories of making are often rendered as over-simplified technomyths that render invisible diverse local practices. This special issue brings together contributions that highlight how historicising plays a role in mythmaking and the creation of social imaginaries. The peer-reviewed articles present cultural-historical perspectives, technology and design histories and historiographies, and alternative histories related to postcolonial resistance. The contributions illustrate the relevance of craft to making as a reparative practice after the Salvadoran Civil War and as a leisure activity to spark »innovation« in mid-century corporate culture; the political-economic background to the diffusion and differentiation of community workshops in contemporary Spain and post-war Germany; and the various aesthetics and politics of technology culture manifestos over the years.The issue features an interview with Peter Harper of the Alternative Technology movement by Simon Sadler, as well as an interview with Felix Holm and Suné Stassen on the antecedents of making and design in South Africa. The special issue is rounded off with six short alternative (hi)stories of DIY making including multiple practices, geographies and temporalities.

“…Zudem scheint für eine Charakterisierung meines Verständnisses von Makerkultur notwendig, dass ich von einer unauflösbaren Spannung zwischen Making und Hacking ausgehe. Während das Making eher die durchaus marktförmige Stromlinienförmigkeit des Bastelns und Ausprobierens unterstreicht, so markiert das Hacking stärker die selbstbestimmte Unangepasstheit des spielerischen Ausprobierens der «autodidaktischen Bastler»(Richterich und Wenz 2017; Pias 2002, 254). Meines Erachtens stecken diese beiden Pole ein Spektrum unterschiedlicher Grade von Komplexitätskompetenz ab.…”

Der Aufsatz führt in das Konzept der Maker-Literacy ein. Damit soll das Verständnis digitaler Bildung um die Dimension des Machen-Könnens im Sinne eigenmächtiger Eingriffsmöglichkeiten in digitale Kultur erweitert werden. Making, verstanden als digitales Basteln, stellt in dieser Perspektive produktive Einübungsweisen in digitale Kultur in Aussicht, die durch eine spezifische Komplexitätskompetenz gekennzeichnet werden können. Um diese These argumentativ nachvollziehbar zu gestalten, verfolgt der Text einen Dreischritt: Ausgehend von einer Positionierung in der digitalen Kultur (1) entwickelt er einerseits eine Perspektive auf Making als digitales Basteln und stellt andererseits das genutzte Literacy-Konzept vor (2). Anhand einer Kontrastierung mit der Literalität des Schreibens und Lesens wird eine spezifische Maker-Literalität entwickelt und präsentiert, die Making als wichtige Komponente des Umgangs mit und der Einübung in digitale(r) Kultur beschreibt (3).
