Free objects is a practice through which an object gets liberated from private property.
Free Objects
―Delvecchio, Magnani
Action Public 2007
The process is in 6 steps:
1 – Finding the material to work on: Look in drawers, basements, ecc., for objects that you need not.
2 – Property cancellation: Apply the “Oggetto Libero” sticker so to free the object from individual property.
3 – Market immission: Install the free object in a desired angle of your city, or donate it to a friend, maybe using existing platforms such as www.freecycle.org
4 – Discovery or gift Once found a free object, anyone could do with it as prefered, as long as they do not exercise property.
5 – Re-elaboration: Once found or accepted as a gift, the object has to be modified in some way. This way it will show a a message or simply a sign of it’s life.
6 – Re-immission: Once modified it’s life continues by repeating the operation from point 3. If someone sees a free object he has the right to take it away to use it in any way.
