VULCA-Seminar in Erlangen

Das jährliche Treffen der europäischen Makerspaces, FabLabs und offenen Werkstätten, organisiert von #VULCA, läuft bereits seit gestern bis Sonntag im "ZAM - Zentrum für Austausch und Machen" im Zentrum von Erlangen. Über über 150 Teilnehmende von Werkstätten und Makerspaces aus ganz Europa versammeln sich zum auszutauschen, über gemeinsame Probleme zu diskutieren, Netzwerke zu knüpfen und zusammenzuarbeiten. In der Elektrowerkstatt können Interessierte auch ein ZAM-Blinkie „zam-löten“.

Principios del movimiento maker

Las nuevas tecnologías están llevando al surgimiento de nuevas profesiones como los makers y fabers, que han entendido cómo sacarle provecho a la innovación y el DIY. A través de sus principios como crear, innovar, compartir, jugar, participar y apoyar se impulsa el cambio en la innovación.

It is water resistant, transportable and can charge up to 24 phones per day. It’s the BeeHive, a new phone-charging station created by the Italian NGO One Bridge To-, OBT-, and improved by the collective work of 25 high school students from Verona and the organisation FABlab.

The generator will make it easier for migrants in the Balkans to recharge their phones on their way to the European Union.

“The project was born during Covid, in late 2020,” OBT-’s Pietro Albi, who developed the first prototype, told BIRN. “The first Beehives were brought to Serbia in March 2021, to Sid, Subotica and Belgrade, and distributed to local organisations and NGOs working on the fields”.

The 25 students participated voluntarily in off-school hours, willingly deciding to spend their afternoons improving the BeeHive. After a theoretical workshop about the “Balkan Route” taken by migrants to Europe, the lack of legal pathways to Europe and the reality of migration, they focused on technical aspects like 3D printing, laser cutting and assembling the electrical parts.

The first BeeHive model used a bike engine to recharge phones and weighed around 20kg. The new one, created in collaboration with the students, weighs only around 3kg and uses lithium batteries, which are lighter and more efficient.

The name BeeHive refers to the shape of the generator, which recalls artificial beehives, but also hints at the idea of a safe space – a literal charging station where migrants can recharge their phones while taking a rest from the challenges and violence of taking the Balkan Route.

“The project also allows us to help students realise that what they hear regarding migrants and refugees and the reality of things are really different,” OBT-’s Serena Zuanazzi told BIRN.

“In Europe people often claim that the fact that migrants have a phone is a clear sign that they’re not really refugees in need. The reality instead is that phones are crucial for people on the move, as they need them to communicate with the families back home, with other people that are travelling with them, but also to orientate and keep on travelling.

“They are [also] used more and more to document the violence that people on the move experience, and become a tool to denounce human rights abuses,” she said.

Currently there are five old models of the BeeHive in Serbia, one of the new ones in Bosnia and two in Trieste, the arrival point for migrants taking the Balkan Route, in Italy. New ones will be distributed shortly in Greece, France and other locations in Italy.

“We already have plans to update the current model with a WiFi hotspot that will allow people to connect to the internet even from remote locations and other improvements. If NGOs and organisations working on the ground can use the BeeHive to support people on the move, they can reach out to us, so we can plan the production and the delivery,” Albi concluded.

Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein in Jordan.

Some are the photos are with Princess Rajwa and Catherine, Princess of Wales, during the wedding Of Crown Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa.

Other photos are Prince William and Crown Prince Hussein visiting Jordan's Roman ruins at Jerash.

I believe one photo is about the visit to FabLab, one of the initiatives of The Crown Prince Foundation.

how would you rate your overall experience at RMCAD? im unsure if i wanna go to art school but if i DO end up choosing to, RMCAD is pretty high up on my list!!

Anon, I'm going to give a good, honest review about this college. The only reason I'm graduating from it is that it was the most affordable option for me, and by the time I realized this college really wasn't what it advertises itself to be, I was already two years in and said "screw it let's keep pushing".

Do not get me wrong, the on-campus professors at this college are incredible. I am an illustration major so I cannot speak on every single professor, but the illustration department across the board has been so wonderful. Only one illustration professor was iffy when it came to their course formatting, but that was one from the 4 years I've been here. Another good thing about the college is the campus, I haven't had issues with the campus and the resources on campus are great! My peers have been wonderful and have made it even more worth being here for 4 years. Techbar and the Fablab staff are great and they've helped with anything I need to get made or fixed.

For the bad: The organization from the financial team and scheduling is abysmal. I will not go into all the details, but if you want a god-awful crunch due to 8-week classes, no summer break, constant advisor changes that make it awful to communicate what your schedule needs, and student finances fumbling around even just a few times (sometimes a lot)? Then apply! It is an exhausting school not even because of the workload. Online courses sometimes are also just nothing-burger classes with professors that have bad communication.

No college is perfect, applying to any art college you will have your flaws and benefits. I know other classmates have had it worse while on the other end, I've had classmates move through the college fine! More the former than the latter, unfortunately.

I cannot speak for other colleges. I do not know if others are worse and maybe my college is a godsend in comparison to others, but this is my honest experience. Don't let my harsh criticism of my college drive you away from art school if you want that degree go get it hell yeah!!

I hope your college search goes well anon! I'm rooting for you!! If you want to talk more about either my college or just college search you're free to dm me o7

Printed Terracotta Cooler

The low-tech cooler is a project I developed with the global design agency, Entreautre. We started with a simple principle inspired by traditional practices: a porous terracotta container filled with water. 

Thanks to a ventilation system (WEEE), the airflow in contact with the wet surface allows water to evaporate in order to produce cold air.

To achieve an interesting effect, we sought to increase the wet wall surface in contact with ventilated air as much as possible. Ceramic 3D printing allowed us to test complex volumes such as differential growth. The natural process of differential growth was also a coherent aesthetic to produce a manifesto product in order to share the vision behind the process.

The process 

I designed this structure with the software Grasshopper. It's a visual 3D programming language linked to Rhino 3D that allows the achievement of complex and parametric pieces that couldn't be done with traditional CAD programs.

I learned the software by myself to achieve the program in order to print the final shape. This shape came from all the different constraints I was confronted with:

The material: The lining thickness, the porosity.

The method of conception: Height, material volume contained in the printing pipe, printing time, clearance angle.

The metrics of minimal performances: Structure resistance, water volume, surface exchange between ceramic airflow and water.

I worked with Luc Dauphin, a mechanical engineer, and Bastien Pyon, Fablab's CEO, who guided me in dealing with those constraints.

The 3D printing machine is an exclusive machine designed by the Dutch artist, Olivier Van Herpt. The one that we used is the only one that exists outside his studio. It works like a traditional 3D plastic printer, where a piston extrudes the terra-cotta as a thin filament layer by layer.
