Abstract

This article focuses on ‘commons-based peer production’, in particular the way it operates and its potential for material contributions to human activities. The aim is to understand the practices and bases that make it possible, and to better understand which resources are made accessible. This type of production can be an alternative route to collective achievements and an innovative way to meet the needs of a community. From this perspective, two contrasting fields of experimentation are examined: one focused on digital manufacturing and the development of 3D printer projects (such as RepRap), and the other on small-scale food production (the Incredible Edible Network). The analysis begins by clarifying the conceptual framework. Then, the two types of experiments are studied with regard to their genesis, their mode of operation and their output. Finally, the scope of this model is discussed by linking these experiments to the conditions on which they depend.
