Making hacks into reality. It engages matter in ways that trespass
the boundaries between the civic realm and the state-assigned laws.
Even with primitive tools and skills, designing and making can
break open and repurpose arrangements of power. The proof is that
some crafts are so controversial-lock-picking, moonshining,
shoplifting, smuggling, sabotage-that they need to be controlled or
even outlawed. When designers and makers touch on these contested
realms, they run into trouble. This highly original book explores
how the material power of design and making can challenge
arrangements of agency and domination. Unpacking a series of
conflicting cases-from illegal making to the strategic and civic
use of crafts to manifest radical alternatives to the current
order-it shows how designers and makers can use even basic tools to
work towards more.
