The C-shirt project: Creative Commons Based Peer-Creation

The basic concept behind the 'C-Shirt' project is to turn customers of T-shirts into 'customizers' of CC-licensed T-shirts. The scenario: a customer can discover a cool T-shirt design worn by another person, whether randomly on the street, or on a friend's blog. She can either buy the original design or edit/remix it on the fly and order the new version to ship it home, all within just a single browser interface that connects a diverse number of web services. In this workshop, we will experience this 'remix on the fly and order' scenario with the latest Loftwork-branded graphic design elements for iCommons, and discuss further deployment of this model creativity. Last but not least, the resulting C-shirts would be (hand) printed during the Summit and handed over to the participants!
