| description | We present the results of the BCNStreet-lab project, a co-creation process of a prototype that "died before it even existed" and that has led us to reflect on the creative power that participatory design can have among experts. Examining the high variability that the design acquired with the co-creation sessions, we realized how an open co-creation process can generate overflows in the design. It makes innovation possible but can also lead to failure, as is this case, because of how risky participatory design of “fluid technologies” and how ineffective reproducing the Quadruple helix innovation model in small projects can be. We tried to account for the fruitful relationship between co-creation and the design of electronic technologies, which happens in the “lobby” of the technical design of the prototype. It generates negotiations and interactions that lead to progress in the democratization of design practices in electronic engineering, computing, and telecommunications. At this point, co-creation is conceived as a space in which institutional practices, social needs, technological imaginaries, economic interests, techno-scientific interests, etc., are brought together, translated and inscribed into the design of technologies. |

Se presentan los resultados del proyecto BCNStreet-lab, un proceso de cocreación de un prototipo que “murió antes de existir” y que llevo a reflexionar sobre el poder creativo que puede tener el diseño participativo entre expertos. Observando la alta variabilidad que adquirió el diseño con las sesiones de cocreación, se denota cómo un proceso abierto puede generar desbordamientos en el diseño, que hacen posible la innovación pero también pueden llevar al fracaso, como en este caso, debido a lo arriesgado que puede ser el diseño participativo de “tecnologías fluidas” y lo ineficaz que puede ser tratar de reproducir el modelo de innovación de cuádruple hélice en pequeños proyectos. Se intenta dar cuenta de la fructífera relación entre la cocreación y el diseño de tecnologías electrónicas, la cual se da en el “lobby” del diseño técnico del prototipo, genera negociaciones e interacciones y permite avanzar en la democratización de las prácticas de diseño en ingeniería electrónica, computación y telecomunicaciones. En este punto, la cocreación se concibe como un espacio en el que las prácticas institucionales, las necesidades sociales, los imaginarios tecnológicos, los intereses económicos, los intereses tecnocientíficos, etc. son reunidas, se traduce e inscriben en el diseño de las tecnologías.
