und wieder waren wir am shift festival in basel präsent...
4 tage lang waren die grosse SGMK crew in der ausstellung übel am löten. das publikum war voll intensiv dabei, haben sogar schon am morgen begonnen smd bauteile zusammenzulöten um sich ein theremin zu basteln. oder auch den mit oli (namshub) neu entwickelten 1x_pixel, eine interaktive audio/visuelle einstiegsdroge in die medienkunst....
I am happy to announce that we received the Migros Werkbeitrag for the hackteria project. The official event took place during the Shift Festival 09 in Basel, where SGMK was present anyway with a hardcore soldering workshop in the exhibition.
cellsbutton#03 is going on... we go to places, discussing stuff, doing workshops and having great evenings full of audio/visual exeriments. and of course there has already been lots of soldering involved.
