#TheCookery

During the workshop "And what if we cooked with batteries?", @marieverdeil & @dasha invite you to join them in the research on energy, its storage, use and materiality they started during their current residency at iMAL.

We will discuss alternatives to current energy models, while trying to make energy more tangible through playful exercises and DIY prototypes that will remind us what a Watt is. We will collectively explore the history of batteries, discuss their challenges and shortcomings, make our own batteries, and who knows, we might even cook with them!

In their workshop "Light cinema | Sound matter", Olivier Perriquet & Maxence Obein invite participants to explore how light and sound reflects, travels and transforms itself through matter, inventing their own cinematic setups.

The approach is intentionally low-tech and resourceful, aiming to rediscover the playful curiosity and sense of wonder that shaped the early days of moving images.

This Thursday afternoon, we will debate on #fablabs, the #maker movement, and whether they lived up to their promises.

We'll be addressing these questions with Ernesto Oroza, Stephanie Vilayphiou, Adrien Payet & Xavier Klein, each with a singular critical approach to fablabs. In this #TheCookery panel, they will engage in an in-depth discussion aiming to question and respond to the challenges and outcomes of the 'new' industrial revolution.
