SUMMARY:Workshop by Makers Will Make | Phygital Project
DESCRIPTION:Digital Fabrication for the Stage\, Costumes\, Props and Scenery\nA University of Nicosia Research Foundation workshop for the project Phygital \nThis workshop explores how new fabrication technologies may be utilized for the creation of stage design for contemporary dance performances.  Participants will be asked to explore photographs/ forms and digitally translate them into costumes\, props and scenery for a performance taking place in autumn 2019 in Limassol and Nicosia. Participants will use our equipment to experiment and bring their thoughts to life with a chance of their work featuring in the performance. Credit will be given to the artists of the chosen work. \nParticipation is limited to a maximum of 10 participants. \nParticipants must be literate in design software programmes and will need their laptop for the workshop. \nTo register please email: Tselika.e@unic.ac.cy and makerswillmake@gmail.com \nInclude your Name; Email; Mobile number and a Short Bio if available. \nRegistrations will take place on a first come first served basis. \nAbout Makers Will Make\nAn initiative of bytheway productions is space for designers in Limassol\, a place for experimentation\, expression and creation\, equipped with a large-scale laser cutter which is open to the public. \nIt aims to be the meeting point of creative people in the wider field of design as the dynamic of space\, in line with the modern maker movement\, offers countless possibilities for experimental approaches to materials\, processes and applications.  Design promotion\, freedom of experimentation\, collaboration and professional networking\, become facilitated under one working environment where each creator has the opportunity to draw inspiration\, to discuss\, experiment and share. Through implementing the contemporary experience of designing and materializing an idea\, the visitor/creator participates in the whole process\, from the drawing board to controlling the production and aesthetic of the final result. Makers from all fields of design (graphics\, interior\, fashion\, architecture\, art are just some of them …) can re-explore the boundaries of their art. \nFor more information you can visit the website: makerswillmake.com \nPhygital is an Interreg V 2014-2020 BalkanMed\, EU-funded programme being implemented in Greece\, Albania and Cyprus and involves the development of makerspaces – one in each country – that will work with the local community. In Cyprus\, the project’s work is being carried out by the University of Nicosia Research Centre in collaboration with the Municipality of Lakatamia/hack66 and will focus on social art practices exploring the melding of open technology\, art and design. The project operates on the basis of the ‘design global – manufacture local’ model which introduces innovative organisational and business patterns allowing an unprecedented booming of communities engaged in do-it-yourself (DIY) activities. It wishes to support and enhance these local capacities for innovation and utilise the opportunities the decentralised modes of production can create. The Cyprus section of the project examines the importance of makerspace culture in the advancement of contemporary social art and design practices. It delves into the principles of open source projects\, software-hardware freedom and bottom-up collaborative structures to explore ways they can be utilised – in line with social art/design practices – to address the needs of the local community. \nPHYGITAL- Catalysing innovation and entrepreneurship unlocking the potential of emerging production and business models \nLead Partner-GFOSS/ Greek Free Open Source Software Society \nPeer to Peer Alternatives – Greece (a.k.a. “P2P Lab”) \nLakatamia Municipality/ hack66- Cyprus \nOpen Labs – Albania \nMunicipality of North Tzoumerka- Greece \nUniversity of Nicosia Research Foundation (UNRF)- Cyprus \nThe National Center of Folklore Activities- Albania

SUMMARY:Workshop: Making and connecting in a disconnected world
DESCRIPTION:Making and connecting in a disconnected world: Hackerspaces as representations of techno-social politics in contemporary capitalist realism\nThe workshop will address the emergence of the maker culture\, where technology and making are explored outside the professional lab\, predominantly in Hackerspaces\, Makerspaces and Fab Labs. Such spaces constitute important sites in the development of open-source hardware and software\, and provide conducive conditions for the spread of locally created technology to and often beyond technologically informed publics. Specifically\, this workshop will address the convergence of activism and the maker culture within capitalist realism. Drawing on the findings of my research\, I argue that the politics of Hackerspaces / Makerspaces and Fab Labs constitute sites that disclose contradictions and provide spaces for contesting the dominant paradigm and reflect the societies within which they operate. Users become developers themselves who simultaneously reinvent forms of consumption\, processes of learning and re-conceptualizing the relationship between science and craft\, productivism and play\, authority and informal horizontal learning. Despite the apparent social and collective nature of these practices\, there is also a parallel individualistic twist at the heart of the maker culture. \nPresentation and Dialogue\nThursday\, 11 October 2018\n18.00-21.00 \nWorkshop and brainstorming session\nSaturday\, 13 October 2018\n11.00-14.00 \nLakatamia/ hack66 Community Event\nSaturday\, 13 October 2018\n14.00 onwards \n  \nFor more information you can contact \nEvanthia Tselika- tselika.e@unic.ac.cy \n
