4. 1. Plowing the dark

7. The holodeck "functions as a cultural repository of narrative possibilities that would normally be excluded from the ship's own sociohistorical moment.” (Hardy & Kukla)

8. “Real things invite inspection. Sabotage can be detected. Hacking is possible.” (Brantley)

11. space + tools + people = multicommons

12. 2. The multicommons

14. “A commons is a shared space and collection of resources activated, managed, and cared for by the public for the benefit of all. A cultural commons is a similar environment. It encourages the sharing and remixing of ideas, art forms, and culture.” (Walker Art Center)

23. 2.1 Plowing the commons “The commons of culture is a huge lake; young artists are sponges at its shores. Some become great rivers as well, and feed the lake.” (Hyde)

29. “Many libraries are becoming maker spaces, providing opportunities where people can gather and create.” (PPS)

33. “The longer I work at Kennedy Library, the more I realize that it’s not just a big cement box filled with books and computers and couches. The library is a project, a work-in-progress, constantly growing and expanding and changing as students’ needs change.”

36. …then click the placeholders to add your own pictures and captions. CHOOSE A LAYOUT

37. Click a picture, and then click the Format Picture tab to create your own frames and make picture corrections such as adjusting contrast and brightness or cropping the picture for just the right look.

48. #6: Bus shelters

49. 1. The community is the expert.

50. 6. Start with the petunias.

51. 11. You are never finished

52. 3. Steering the multicommons

59. “[The library’s] attention is on learning that serves the well-being of the larger community, even if that community extends beyond their organizational tribe.” (Vanasupa, SUSTAIN SLO)

61. “For the first time in as long as she cared to remember, the future held more pictures than the past.’’ - Plowing the Dark

62. open culture needs a multicommons: place and tools for the people programs of the people steering by the people

63. Thank you!
