The sparrows are homeless

19:02 // 13 mar

This is our last tuesday at KKH, after this week we are homeless. This means that tuesday meetings will be cancelled until we find a new place. We promise to post any updates on the situation.

We are looking for a new nest to move into, please contact us via the mailinglist if you know of something we could rent/borrow.

3d-printing

09:00 // 03 dec We are planning to dedicate the coming months to 3d-printing. 

Imagine  a world were we can print anything. Still in early development the  possibilities of 3d-printing are opening up new imaginations, lowering  production and prototyping costs. Like the printing press revolutionized  literacy and made way for a new world, this 3rd Industrial Revolution  will profoundly change the way we function socially, economically, and   democratically by opening up for a new kind of small scale distributed  production. Laws on patents and intellectual property, piracy, and trade  becomes more and more ambiguous and outdated. 

We will use 3d-printers like RepRap and a Makerbot to explore 3d-printing, we will use Blender and Mudbox or similar programs to make 3d-models. Can we make mashups and hybrids and generatively  create objects? What kind of awsome projects will happen?  We will  discuss these issues in a text seminar. We will look att 3d-scanning  techniques like using Kinect for 3d-scanning and much more?

The dates and Locations are as follows:

• 11 December from 6 PM
  • Location: Drottninggatan 112A, Dans and 23c office near Tegnérgatan. http://goo.gl/3ucpQ
  • Subway station: Rådmansgatan
  • Maker bot and Kinect-based 3D-scanning.

Internet is a distributed network but our behaviors are ruled and monitored by central services like google and facebook. Let's continue to look to distributed technologies and adhoc networking and make use of internet the way is was meant to be: p2p. If internet is a image of our way of functioning, why not exploring all its 
potential?

  • The text is here: http://telekommunisten.net/the-telekommunist-manifesto/
  • Facilitator: Bibi
• 13 November
  • Introduction to Distributed hash table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table
  • More reference soon..
  • Facilitator: Adis
• 20 November and 27 November
  • We will continue to work with our project Dandelion https://github.com/4ZM/Dandelion-Message-Service and also find out if we can develop a new project around Distributed hash tables.

Hack meetings on Tuesdays move to to zombie-safe island

08:55 // 11 oct Since it's too cold to be at Hemliga Trädgården, our current venue, we will from Tuesday (October 16th) begin meeting at the Royal Institute of Art.

This can be seen as a temporary project until we find more permanent premises. At the The Royal Institute of Art we will among other experiment with 3D printers. Since our meetings are open, we hope that students who are interested can stop by. The program will continue as previously announced: http://sparvnastet.org/autumn-schedule/

The Royal Institute of Art http://www.kkh.se is located on Skeppsholmen at Flaggmansvägen 1 http://goo.gl/maps/3gWvi
