The Coming of Christ (or whoever your hero may be)
- 2023 - OSE's conceptualization of Distributed Market Substitution to deliver the promise of open hardware via distributed production, and its first scalable experiment on the topic with the Seed Eco-Home, currently in the product release phase. The question we aim to answer: can open hardware bring about a revolution in the economic system, by addressing distribution of wealth in a significant way? That was the initial promise, from the counterculture to cyberculture - not yet delivered. RepRap, OSE, From Counterculture to Cyberculture - all still promise technoutopia, but in reality we are mired in democratic downsliding and war in 2023.
