Workshop: Can peer production make washing machines?
Years ago, Graham Seaman asked himself the theoretical question: Can peer production make washing machines?
This July, French artist Jean-Noël Montagné will test this proposition in practice, during a Belgian festival of DIY hardware hackers.
Here are the details:
“The open source washing machine project aims to rethink the way we wash clothes around the world…
The idea of a DIY electronic washing machine using recycling parts and Open source microcontroller was born in spring 2008 during an Open Source Hardware workshop for artists in Craslab Paris.”
A four day workshop this july (14-15-16-17) at the Summercamp Electrified in Ghent (Belgium) where we’ll be rethinking, designing and developing open source washing machines.
Using recycled parts and sustainable energy we’ll be building working washing machine prototypes.”
Jean-Noël Montagné, a French artist and activist, is the founder and director of CRAS ressource center for interactive technologies in Paris-Saint Ouen.
