Abstract: Hacking, considered to be the activity of hackers, can be regarded as the set of practices characterized by the repurposing of objects and technical devices from their current use. The network culture reinforced by the Internet, especially hacking, has also attracted new organizations conducive to collaborative work that go even beyond the walls of the company. A hackerspace is characterized by a deliberate and collaborative social practice, marked by the sharing of knowledge, materials and learning. The hackers, gathered in hackerspaces, are bound by an ethic of cooperation, a rejection of hierarchy, and a free exchange of information and knowledge. Hackerspaces have the ability to mobilize the use of the collective intelligence of hackers in the development of new products in the Internet environment. Hackerspaces, as part of a creative and exploratory "code breaking" approach, should theoretically lead to the development of many innovations.
