Body extensions

For several years Karkatag collective was working on so called "alterego machines" - machines that work in symbiosis with a person as an extension and further expression of (hidden) performing self.

"Body extensions" would be the first collective's workshop dealing with such idea. Work would consider making smaller scale interactive mechanisms that could represent possible limbs, such as tails, horns, wings, membranes and any other, never seen ones. All the tools and material for the workshops are provided (but you can always bring some inspiring objects).

Swap-shop and handmade clothes

Come enjoy the swapping, recycling and creating of clothes! In the swap shop we get things back into the circle. The idea is simple: things that you don't need anymore are exactly what other people have been looking for for quite some time. The swap shop will help you understand what you actually use out of the million things you have at home, while making it possible for you to find new unexpected stuff. Swapping makes a lot of fun and creates a joyful alternative to the non-fair textile market. So bring the things that other people could enjoy and come swapping!!

In the handmade-clothes sewing station you can create your new original clothes by recycling your old ones. Come and repair, recycle, upcycle old t-shirts, jeans or whatever you like! Learn new sewing tricks and get inspired by creating things together! If you cannot sew no problem- we will help you!

ArtSpecs Lab

ArtSpecs Lab will be giving a kids and media workshop. Kids will help us document the event in a fun way. We will have an interview station and a roaming camera that will be controlled by the participants of the workshop. They will interview festival goers (who can dress up and disguise themselves if desired), and every hour new participants can join and more camera instructions will be given. It is up to the participants of the workshop as to how the event will be documented.

Plant repair work shop

Would you like to get your hands dirty with soil? Do you know how a carrot flower looks like? Does your house plant look sad in old soil? Or do you have spare seeds to give away? In this work shop we will experiment with scraps of fruits and vegetables, replant house plants and make plant babies and offer a place for swopping seeds.

Many fruits and vegetables can grow green plants from seeds, after you have eaten them. Bring with you some carrots, beetroots, onions, garlic or potato or the seeds of an avocado, citrus fruits, mango or other fruits and we will together plant them in soil or water depending on the plant.

If you have sad house plants that would get happy in new soil, bring them with you and we will look if the plant can make some babies too, to be shared with others. Also if you have some extra seeds, that you would like to share we offer a seed swopping box, since a city gardener doesn’t need thousands of the same seeds, but instead it’s nice to have many different ones. Warmly welcome to drop by even if you just want to take a look or help a little bit!

Nature digital

Nature is of course a big recycler and inspires our creativity on the matter. How can we make the recycle power of nature visible and get connected to it by using digital media? How can we give nature „digital voices“ to collaborate better with it?

In the workshop we will explore ideas on the subject and also our landscape/biological environment around Grünau! (No programming required. Bring your laptops and cameras if you want.)

Cradle to cradle

Cradle to cradle(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_to_Cradle:_Remaking_the_Way_We_Make_Things) is the concept of endless recyclable products – how can we design our products in a way that they could always be used as rich ever growing ressource mines for our futures? There are a lot of cradle to cradle projects and efforts out there but most of them are closed source. What can happen when we add the ideas of open hardware/ open source/ open design to cradle to cradle design? What possibilities could come out of this combination? What can a cradle to cradle design (r)evolution gain from openness and what can openness gain from the build in „material connectivity“ of cradle to cradle products and designs? In the workshop we will discuss ideas on the subject and invent and build some open source cradle to cradle products.
