Hack the City Open Call #hack #cities #ireland #mashup #geekgirl

Hack the City Open Call :: Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Call closed 20 January 2012 :: Exhibition 22 June – 7 September 2012 :: Festival 11 – 15 July 2012
Science Gallery is seeking proposals for its 2012 flagship exhibition HACK THE CITY launching in June 2012. Currently more than half of the world’s population lives in towns and cities. This trend is expected to continue. Between 2025-2030 of the approximate 8 billion people who will live in the world 5 billion will live in cities. Yet the majority of our city infrastructures are based on inherited historical layouts and systems. Science Gallery’s 2012 flagship exhibition and festival HACK THE CITY will rethink our cities from the ground up through the spirit and philosophy of the hacker ethos – to bend, mash-up, tweak and cannibalise our city systems, to create possibilities, illustrate visionary thinking and demonstrate real-world examples for sustainable urban futures. The exhibition and events will explore hacking for good – the repurposing of useful resources, the innovators who customise existing tools for new uses and who purposefully challenge existing hierarchies.

Media Lab Melbourne :: Sprint #2 #unconstrained #geekgirl

_Media Lab Melbourne :: Sprint #2: Unconstrained_ 
_Call for projects closes 12 December 2011_ 

Technological frontiers have expanded beyond the ability of an individual to comprehend their complexity. Yet, these frontiers permeate our everyday experiences. How does your smartphone function? How was your toaster made? What tools do you use to earn money? How many different forms of communication do you experience in one day? How well do YOU understand the technology in your life? How well do you need to? Media Lab Melbourne is seeking proposals for devices or services as statements on the complexity of our everyday technology and systems. Successful applications will work with Media Lab Melbourne and collaborators to realise these proposals during a sprint over 9 days beginning on the 21st of January 2012.  As this is a collaborative sprint it is not important what skills you have but how effective your idea is!  Media Lab Melbourne will support projects with technical and production support. Should a person live interstate and wish to attend, we are also able to provide basic travel and accommodation for the duration of the sprint.  Selected participants will be notified on the 16th of December.  At this point there will be a second call for collaborators to assist in the creation of the selected projects. Applicants who are not selected in the initial call are welcome to participate as collaborators.

ANAT Makerblog now online #fabrication #3D #opensource #geekgirl

maker-blog's-snowflake

The rapidly evolving fields of personal fabrication, digital manufacturing and 3D printing are changing manufacturing and design - taking it from the factory floor to your work place or home. Desktop 3D printers, open source software and print-on-demand companies are offering artists and creative practitioners opportunities to not only prototype their creations but also to manufacture and sell their work on a scale to suit demand. As part of its ongoing research and development program, ANAT has acquired and assembled a flat-pack desktop 3D printer ” the MakerBot Thing-O-Matic “. ANAT’s Makerblog will document experiments with the Thing-O-Matic, provide information and links about 3D printing and other personal manufacturing techniques and discuss how these technologies are being harnessed by creative practitioners.
