Ceramic pots for filtering water, techniques for solar cooking, wind turbines, breeding edible crickets: these are some of the low tech (or \u201clow\u201d technologies) documented by\u00a0<\/span>the Nomad of the Seas<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0A veritable \u201claboratory boat\u201d, the Nomade des Mers has experimented and documented around fifty low tech boats around the world.\u00a0After six years of travel and 25 stopovers across the globe, the boat returned to its home port of Concarneau on June 25, 2022 \u2013 a return that marked the start of\u00a0<\/span>the Low Tech Festival<\/span><\/a>\u00a0organized by the Low-tech Lab collective.<\/span><\/p>\n

More generally, debates around the environment, ecology and climate are particularly lively these days, with students denouncing their training and calling for\u00a0<\/span>“bifurcation”<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, climate marches, terms like ” sobriety\u201d, \u201ctransition\u201d and \u201cresponsibility\u201d increasingly discussed,\u00a0<\/span>institutionalized and politicized<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0In these discussions, the relationship between humans and technologies is frequently questioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Faced with the effects and damage caused by certain technologies, how can we imagine more sober, more durable, more accessible, simpler technological systems \u2013 in short, \u201clow tech\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

If low tech fascinates more and more people, can they scale up?\u00a0To put it another way, are they \u201cscalable\u201d?\u00a0Can they become a captivating subject for the general public, a concern for institutions, products on the market?<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer \u2013 in four steps \u2013 will show that we cannot reduce low tech to their materiality, but that we must grasp them through practices, sensitivities, values \u200b\u200band ethical choices.\u00a0The question of the rise in generality of low tech must be coupled with the question of the rise in public awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make them known?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A first strategy to reach a wider audience is through the media.\u00a0The Nomade des Mers expedition has been documented in particular through a\u00a0<\/span>book<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0<\/span>television series<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on Arte.\u00a0The\u00a0<\/span>Low-tech Magazine<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0, launched by Dutchman Kris de Decker in 2007, has become one of the central media in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\u00a0<\/span>Nearly 70,000 readers trust The Conversation newsletter to better understand the world’s major issues<\/span><\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0<\/span>Subscribe today<\/span><\/a>\u00a0]<\/span><\/p>\n

The other emblematic project of the Low-tech Lab, the Habitat Low Tech \u2013 a 14 m\u00a0<\/span>2<\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“tiny house” \u00a0in which 11 low tech were tested for nine months \u2013 also gave rise to strong media coverage.\u00a0Following the experiment, the Habitat Low Tech now functions as an \u201ceducational case on wheels\u201d exhibited in different cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

These initiatives not only aim to document low tech, but also to make the public aware of low tech, to excite them and make them think about the place and role of low tech.\u00a0Low tech is therefore presented as\u00a0<\/span>feasible, reasonable and desirable<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some forms of documentation are not intended for an audience in the broad sense, but rather for users.\u00a0This is the case of some 160 tutorials that the Low-tech Lab hosts on its\u00a0<\/span>open source platform<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a platform that demonstrates, in passing, the complementarity between low tech and high tech.\u00a0These tutorials present low tech in a detailed and technical way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Low-tech Lab is aware that its tutorials are not aimed at the general public: \u201cwe are not aimed at everyone [\u2026] We are still aimed at people who have a little know-how technical all the same” explains Corentin de Chatelperron, engineer by training and captain of the Nomade des Mers (interview with the author, October 2019).\u00a0Therefore, the manufacture of low tech is not within everyone’s reach: “when you’re not a handyman, it’s not so simple”, lamented a participant of the Low Tech Festival during a discussion .<\/span><\/p>\n

Territorialize low tech<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In Brittany, the Low-tech Lab is now turning to a more political activity and collaborates with public and private actors who are not necessarily aware of these technologies.\u00a0In a\u00a0<\/span>project<\/span><\/a>financed by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, with around twenty actors \u2013 including a hospital, town halls, a kindergarten, an amusement park, a hotel, associations and a brewery \u2013 the stated objective is \u201cto experiment with new ways of organizing and developing low tech on a regional scale\u201d.\u00a0The challenge for the future will be, in a word, to territorialise low tech.\u00a0For the Brittany region, the approach is not insignificant but testifies to a thoughtful and political strategy to position itself as the “French capital of low-tech”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way of disseminating low tech on a larger scale is seen through the actions of the\u00a0<\/span>Atelier Paysan<\/span><\/a>\u00a0, a cooperative specializing in the self-construction of agricultural machinery and buildings.\u00a0The Atelier Paysan is located in Renage, near Grenoble, and in two branches (Occitanie and Brittany), but also has seven “workshop trucks” enabling it to offer training throughout the country.\u00a0At the same time, the Atelier Paysan organizes Farmer\u00a0<\/span>Innovation Survey Tours<\/span><\/em>\u00a0to unearth and list the innovations made by the farmers themselves so that \u201cthe odd bits and pieces can be used, improved and inspire other farmers\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is also the approach of\u00a0<\/span>Servi\u00e7o de Tecnologia Alternativa<\/span><\/em>\u00a0, a Brazilian NGO founded in 1989, which supports and disseminates family farming based on so-called “appropriate” technologies (one of the terms used before “low tech” became fashionable ).<\/span><\/p>\n

Savings<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Companies and companies dedicated to low tech are also beginning to emerge.\u00a0The simplified stock company\u00a0<\/span>Enerlog<\/span><\/em>\u00a0, for example, offers energy consulting and auditing services taking into account the sustainability of technologies and aims to better promote low-tech solutions.\u00a0In particular, it offers training (which costs 450 euros) to build solar air heating systems.\u00a0The objective, more generally, is to \u201csupport transitions towards more sustainable lifestyles by developing autonomy and energy resilience\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>Breizh Bell<\/span><\/em>\u00a0company , on the other hand, specializes in growing mushrooms.\u00a0Its maxim is to market solutions to \u201cgrow your own mushrooms at home, with maximum autonomy\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>Breizh Bell<\/span><\/em>\u00a0offers training, walks, internships and shares its knowledge via videos and tutorials.\u00a0At the same time, it sells mycelia (between 1 and 9 euros per kilo), do-it-yourself culture chambers (between 200 and 350 euros), as well as a whole range of laboratory utensils (gloves, caps, masks, compresses, etc.) and spare parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

These two examples not only show that economic activities around low tech are developing, but also that a variety of areas are concerned, such as housing, food and energy, agriculture and mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to reframe the issue of scaling up<\/strong><\/h4>\n

On the one hand, the question of scaling up is a theoretically relevant question.\u00a0This is a classic question in the humanities and social sciences (especially in geography), which has become very fashionable again with, among other things, work on\u00a0<\/span>\u201cnon-scalability\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, talking about scaling up puts a little too much focus on growth and can suggest that the generalization of a technology is an end in itself.\u00a0Cl\u00e9ment Chabat of the Low-tech Lab explains it well:\u00a0<\/span>\u201clow-tech is a global but also very local approach since it is inseparable from resources close to an environment\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Low tech must be rooted in local questions, contexts and issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is therefore necessary to diversify and complicate the question of scaling up somewhat.\u00a0Low tech \u2013 whether it is a dry toilet or a cooking pot \u2013 cannot be reduced to their materiality.\u00a0It is difficult to measure their \u201csuccess\u201d or quantify them in terms of market share.\u00a0On the contrary, we must consider low tech as cultural and social objects, which exist through practices, sensibilities, values, ethical choices.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we would ask people if they like or play rock music and which bands they listen to and inspire them, we should ask them if they like and \u201cplay\u201d low tech (and which ones)?\u00a0To put it another way, the question is not so much to question the rise in generality of low tech, but the rise in sensitivity of their different audiences and users.<\/span><\/p>\n
