- 27 March:
Join the workshop NEIGHBOURHOOD SATELLITES ENERGY HARVESTS
| 27/11/2012 12:00 to 18:30 |
Baltan Laboratories and Holst Centre are organizing an art-science workshop during Shaking Science led by German based artists Myriel Milicevic and Hanspeter Kadel. Our workshop is taking place on November 27th in MU, Emmasingel 20, Eindhoven. If you are interested, be sure to register on time!
In everyday city living, we are surrounded by waste products from our urban infrastructures – heat waste from air conditioners, light pollution emitted from shop windows, vibration caused by heavy traffic and the loud wails of sirens. But these structural leakages are, in essence, a multitude of free power outlets for anyone wishing to collect them, because light, noise, vibration and heat can all be turned back into usable energy.
Neighbourhood Satellites Energy Harvests examines the practical as well as theoretical possibilities of an alternative, decentralized supply of energy by asking: How can citizens use these surplus energy supplies? What would local micro-power-networks, where free energy can be collected, distributed and exchanged, look like?
In this workshop we will follow these questions and construct small portable harvesters for light pollution. All materials and tools will be available on site. No prior knowledge required.
Biographies
Myriel Milicevic is an artist, researcher and interaction designer based in Berlin. With her Neighbourhood Satellites she explores the hidden connections between people and their natural, social, and technical environments. These explorations are mostly of a participatory nature, emerging from collaborations with other artists and scientists, in the context of workshops, classrooms, exhibitions, residencies and out in the field.
Hanspeter works as a designer in Berlin. He mainly develops websites/applications/installations for clients like Adidas, Lodown Magazine & THEBAKERY. His background in engineering allows him to bring “objects” alive and he loves to share his knowledge as Ecoresearcher, for Fritzing or giving Arduino Workshops. Apart from that he’s crazy about music – watch out, you can spot him behind Berlin decks from time to time, playing tiki jazz, heavy metal and house all night long. http://www.neighbourhoodsatellites.com

Hello Carmin,
I would like to join your workshop on the 27th.
I have a background in electronics and have been working as a permaculture designer for some years now. Harvesting energy is one of the challenges i face daily.
Your approach really triggers my creativity !
My regards Paul
