SEE BELOW FOR IMAGES OF us with hands on during our WORKSHOP!
INFO:
Most of us work with computers one way or another processing programmes and surfing the net, but how often does someone not familiar with computers look inside the case and touch things? After we pull apart the old computer hardware and name it, what then?
This workshop is about making accessories with old computer electronics, mobile phones, tape recorders, even kitchen appliances.
Transform these old favourites into trinkets, wearables and all the while learn about computer or machine hardware.
Hardware is a mystery, may seem difficult but is actually a lot of fun. While involved in hand-on demolition and reconstruction learn about masters and slaves, the difference between memory and storage and the components of your computer.
Workshop involves:
Opening the guts (taking stuff apart Fishing for components (choosing trinkets) Making a wearable, (and even functioning), accessory
Things to bring:
An object to dismantle (and re-incarnate) A piece of clothing to modify (optional) Tools eg drills, screwdrivers, pliers (some will be provided)
