Liberated Debris

Liberated Debris is a series of musical instruments made from discarded resources that were deemed obsolete by their original owners. It revokes the manufacturers’ rights to plan obsolescence, to hide and protect their technologies and it supports the people’s rights to hack, repair, modify, make and use their devices as they please. Liberated Debris calls for making to be revived, to activate makers, to re-evaluate our resources, and to share knowledge and perspective openly and freely.
