Me and Tiago Henriques from Altlab.org will present a session tomorrow at Shift:

“A hackerspace is an open community lab where everyone can freely experiment with technology in a collaboratively environment that fosters knowledge sharing between like-minded individuals.

In Portugal a network of three geographically scattered spaces work together to expand the cultural practice of DIY (Do it yourself) into a far reaching practice of DIT (Doing It Together)

This session will present the three labs, their history and projects and explore how can this mindset of collaborative knowledge sharing and experimentation be used to effect social change.”

Os AZ Sprints são sessões de trabalho mensais em que os membros dos laboratórios da Audiência Zero (altLab, LCD, xDA) se juntam em equipas para trabalhar em projectos durante um fim de semana. O requisito fundamental é que no inicio de cada sprint cada projecto a ser trabalhado tenha um objectivo concreto e demonstrável no final do Sprint. Dois Sprints foram já realizados: Em Janeiro iniciámos a nossa “Machinimakers CNC” e em Fevereiro último o “RC Micromachines”.

A “Machinimakers CNC” tem ainda um longo caminho a percorrer para o objectivo ultimo de criar circuitos impressos. No corrente mês de Março estivemos em residência no Espaço do Tempo mas, em Abril voltamos à carga para um novo Sprint . Desta vez para evoluirmos a CNC já iniciada em Janeiro.

Os primeiros dois Sprints foram realizados por pequenas equipas compostas por membros dos vários laboratórios nacionais, mas, desta vez, vamos abrir a todos os que queiram participar e, quem sabe, até potenciar a criação de novas equipas para outros projectos.

Just a quick post to let you know about a couple of videos from two of our latest endeavours, the awesome AZ Residency that took place at Espaço do Tempo in the beginning of March:

And the making of video from the RC MicroMachines Lab Sprint in February:

Big thanks to Rui Pereira for putting these videos together and to everyone who’s been involved in these events.

I’ve been to the first week of AZ Residency for only about 30 hours due to work related responsibilities, but, that was enough for picking up an old pet project I had with Catarina Mota ( altlablx.org / openmaterials.org ): A wearable TV-B-Gone kit.

Our initial idea was to use a flower pin to hide the 4 IR LEDs that turn off most TVs and fabricate an on/off switch that we could put in our trousers pocket for absolute covert TV off mayhem.

We didn’t actually finish it since Catarina found a much better, and cooler I must say, implementation of the same idea during my stay. Check this out:

Nevertheless it was a lot of fun learning from an awesome soft circuits/wearable computing teacher

Looking forward for a full 2nd week of residence (June 14-23)!!

Function2Form is the work created by Victor Martins for The Viewer, a magazine focused on photography and video. A work of generative art and photography as claimed by the author (me).

“Function2Form is a work on form and shape generation from the subdivision of space and image analysis. It has no rules other than the creation/deformation of limited space. It’s a study on photography. It’s a random case of geometry generation and a study of differences for different parameters and areas. Based on randomness i would say these are unique and lost generated pieces of a kind.“
