Abstract

With the widespread availability of open source software and social networking sites, community groups, researchers, artists and other activists have taken political problems from their physical places and built bridges into interactive places to continue their work. The discussion and examples in this paper illustrate how design through practical problem-solving, actively involving participants, extends meaning and experience between and among environments.
