Показать описание
MickMake met with Daniel Green and asked why he thought the Maker Movement doesn't actually exist.
Daniel Green has been responsible for organizing the Sydney Mini Maker Faires for the last 4 years.
We discuss his interesting perspective on Makers and why they exist, why it's important for Maker Faires to exist, as well as what Makers he'd like to see at next year's event.

The "Maker Movement" has been classified as the third industrial revolution bringing with it a disruptive attitude to classic manufacturing, design and planning.

A lengthy interview, but quite insightful.

Questions asked:
Who are you and what do you do?
The Maker Movement doesn't exist. Why is that?
Why does the MAAS run the Mini Maker Faire event?
Does the Museum show people what can be made as a Maker?
Do you think the MAAS should change it's name to the "Maker Museum"?
What would you do differently next year?
What would you like to see more of next year?
When would you like the "Mini Maker Faire" to become a "Maker Faire"?
The MAAS is thinking of moving, when is that happening?
Have you been happy with the number of people?

I agree that maker movement doesn't really exists, but.. "Maker Movement" is a really great marketing label for promoting STEM and DIY to the masses. P.S. photobombed by Dave - that was hilarious!

The jump cuts are really disconcerting. I understand the need for them sometimes, but you might want to try using some bridging shots, it makes the transition much less disconcerting.
Also, your mics are clipping, if you turn down your gain a little your audio quality will improve dramatically.

Does MickMake reply to early comments?

It's a good point about a "maker" being a much wider concept than just necessarily someone who fiddles with electronics, and how "makers" have always been around. I hadn't actually given the concept any thought before and now I don't know how to define what a "maker" is anymore o_O That's going to warrant some soul-searching.

Also, Dave is a damn midget :D
