HACKforCULTURE
AUDC’s first book captures three moments in modern culture that offer glimpses into our increasingly perverse relationship to architecture, cities, and objects. The first, Ether, explores Los Angeles telecom hotel One Wilshire, a 39 story building of utter banality and complete mystery. The second, the Stimulus Progression, looks at the strange story of the Muzak Corporation and the invention of a culture of horizontality. The third, Swarm Intelligence, visits Quartzsite, Arizona, a desert town of some 3,000 people that annually swells to over a million residents as a horde of modern nomads descends upon it in their Recreational Vehicles.

Bootcamp FabLab at Ping
Voilà la mise à jour ! (à voir en plein écran pour avoir les éventuelles commentaires) Pour la reprap, c'était presque parfait, ne restait plus qu'un malheureux bug avec la sonde de température, mais au final preuve qu'on peut combiner prusa+gen6+alim ATX et beaucoup d'improvisation. Du coup on peut dire que c'est la CNC qui a gagnée la course, hâte de la voir en fonctionnement en mode fraisage (l'occasion de jouer avec madMeshMaker ?) Je vous conseille également le compte-rendu de Nod-A (par ici : http://nod-a.com/2011/04/bootcamp/ ), sinon en plus du "photojournal" voici quelques autres trucs :)

Each activity is what configures Openlab Fridays a group (more or less identified) of Medialab-Prado's community of local users. Openlab Fridays 2011-2012 Working Groups OpenFab : Our activities revolve around the fabrication of physical objects through virtual models/designs. Our objective is to learn and work with modeling/design 2D and 3D tools as well as machines that allow us to bring these models and designs to reality in addition to encouraging the DIWO work model. Nowadays we are working on the creation of prototypes using a 3D Thing-O-Matic printer.
Mapping Medialabs in Europe
MCD #62 L’Europe des Media labs / Media labs in Europe (Bilingue – English/french) (english below) L’EUROPE DES MEDIA LABS CARTOGRAPHIE DES LIEUX ET RÉSEAUX Que vous soyez nés dans les réseaux ou simplement intéressés par la création numérique, il existe des lieux et des communautés où vous pouvez aujourd’hui apprendre, créer et partager des savoirs. Ces laboratoires (labs) sont des lieux de médiation qui ouvrent un espace de pratique, d’expression et de création autant qu’un engagement critique sur le rôle de la technologie dans l’art et la société. Des usagers et des artistes, ingénieurs, chercheurs, designers s’y retrouvent pour rechercher et produire dans l’esprit de la culture libre. Dans un « lab », le futur n’est pas seulement imaginé, il est vécu ! Et si notre planète était devenue laboratoire ?
