Remote TrashLab
24 kesäkuu 2020 18:00 — 20:00
Trashlab's classic repair sessions go remote!
Join us in person via zoom or watch through one of our several streaming platforms where you can participate through the chat.
In this online TrashLab session, we will carry out the usual repairing, thinkering, fixing, breaking, up-cycling and reusing of our broken things!
A (semi-) expert team of fixers and avid thinkerers will be at your disposal and ready to help you with your broken stuff, but self-reliance and experimentation is encouraged!
Through peer support, we will work together to give new life to household items and save them from going to the landfill.
All are welcome, from all skill levels and backgrounds.
INSTRUCTIONS
Normally Trashlab is able to support its community repair sessions with its own stock of tools and repair supplies, however, these might not be things that everyone has so availably in their own homes.
Use what you have. Gather whatever tools you think will be suitable for the job, and failing that we can improvise with what you have around the house!
It can be fabric-based, electronics, mechanical. * No Guarantees * we can fix it with you, but at least we can learn something together along the way.
WHEN
24th of June 2020
18:00-20:00 (GMT+3)

WHAT IS TRASHLAB?
Trashlab explores experimental art-design-technology practice between hacker and maker cultures, in the context of re/up-cycling and the increased availability of new fabrication tools.
Trashlab’s objective is to build up a community of people (artists, designers, hackers, makers, re/up-cyclers, activists) who are concerned with material and electronic waste in contemporary society and tackle this problem with creative and tangential approaches. We follow the aim to encourage a peer-based learning environment related to hacking electronics, repair practices, appropriate technology for renewable energy production/usage, digital fabrication, reusing and re/up-cycling materials.

In 2012, the Trashlab/Renewable Festivals theme began.This cluster of learning opportunities related to sustainable, low-carbon, renewable use and decentralised production of do-it-ourselves energy. Included for exploration are waste materials, biomass, kinetic-mechanic, solar & wind sources for electricity, as well as alternative human sustenance in our cultural production models, considering change holistically. This theme was proposed by Antti Ahonen (Pixelache member & Koelse.org). In 2013, this project evolved intoTrashlab, which has been a central project of Pixelache since...

The upcoming Talking Trash(lab) lecture in November is by Cindy Kohtala (Aalto ARTS Design) on Thursday 15.11. from 17.30-19.00 at Aalto Media Factory. Titled 'Sustainable Maker Culture: Angels and Demons', Kohtala introduces her talk as following: "The Helsinki maker scene is small and fragmented but extremely active.

In my talk I will present the conversations makers are having about fabricating, consuming, producing,...
