Dear Netbehaviourists
Please join us for next Saturday morning EDC workshop to stitch the term
'Meme' from the lexicon for the Digital Commons, part of the /Being
Social/ exhibition at Furtherfield Gallery. A cultural 'meme' is the way
in which an idea spreads through social networks.
*Workshop Scedule: Sat 31 March, 11am - 3pm* *- Facilitated by Ele
Carpenter with Special Dorkbot guests!*
The Embroidered Digital Commons
<http://www.open-source-embroidery.org.uk/EDC.htm> is a collectively
stitched version of 'A Concise Lexicon of/for the Digital Commons' by
the Raqs Media Collective (2003). The project seeks to hand-embroider
the whole lexicon, term by term, through workshops and events as a
practical way of close-reading and discussing the text and its current
meaning.
We are inviting crafters, programmers, artists, makers, and people
interested in working collaboratively, or taking part in participatory
projects to each stitch a few words of the term meme. The resulting
patches will then be turned into a short film depicting the sequence of
embroideries.

Hope to see some of you on the day! :)
