Enabling information, knowledge and resources as accessible commodities is one of the 21st century's biggest challenges. The first decade was characterized by global initiatives of transforming different types of Media into digital available information. Information is a series of passive data, knowledge is the ability to read and write, the ability to create and become involved. The information revolution released the bottlenecks of distribution. The second decade of the 21st century will be characterized by efforts to release the bottlenecks of production. With the increasing usage of decentralized fabrication sites, 3D design software and open hardware we're experiencing the beginning of an alternative creative industry and economy. As a result new forms of expression and knowledge are beginning to emerge.

Knowledge technologies are the tools that enable users to analyze, edit and create. Local hardware fabrication services are becoming more common, similar to local printing services for photos and graphic design. 3D fabrication machines and services are already available on the web and are expected to become common as domestic paper printers are today.

Common language is the key for collaboration and the system for distributing knowledge.
The common denominator of open sourced software and hardware is the concept of language.
A common recognizable system of elements, Different attributions between the elements composes different meaning and functions.

With the increasing usage of decentralized fabrication sites, CAD softwares and open hardware we envision the beginning of a new creative biosphere. Still, the growth and development of open knowledge technologies is dependent on the amount of users and their incentives to use them. Passive consumption of content (objects) doesn’t provide the incentives to use these new machines. Collaborative and gratifying process is the key for accelerating their usage. Without common language, duplicating hardware innovation remains a fragmented process. Zoybar is a new form of expression, a language that provides knowledge and information for the creation of music instruments. Zoybar is an open sourced language. Users can improve, create and add more components on a collaborative platform. Open hardware architecture translates as open modular systems. Zoybar is not a specific instrument. We provide physical and virtual platforms as creation tools for developing new music instruments.

As a part of a global network of hardware hackers communities, industrial designers, engineers, musicians and fabrications sites our mission is to eliminate the exclusive authority of who can become an author in the physical domain. This is a call for action, anyone can join. The knowledge revolution will release the bottlenecks of production. It will also challenge the exclusive ability to produce goods. Music is the universal language that will spread our vision. At the moment we are still in the transition time.
For this reason we also provide fully produced hardware kits for those who are more able to spread our word by playing and recording.
So grab your hot, earl grey cup of tea and join us at our pony ranch.
Now it is the time for the knowledge revolution to begin.
The knowledge revolution will be complete with the clang of a million Zoybars around the world..... Moo-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!!!
