Joost RekveldVery nice to be able to see some outcomes of the clay PCB workshop at Creative Coding Utrecht yesterday. This is a project on decolonizing hardware by Stefanie Wuschitz and Patrícia Reis, sourcing materials locally as much as possible.
Stefanie WuschitzI really enjoyed this workshop I gave at CCU in Utrecht together with Patricia J. Reis. We made PCBs from wild clay.

Please join our workshop at CCU Studio Utrecht. Patricia Reis and I will build hardware from upcycled and locally sourced materials.

ente 🦆🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️not really sure what to think about the #claypcb project showcased in #38c3zigzag just now – i don't really see the point? it seems kind of performative? why should you try to get silver scraps from goldsmiths and fire a clay tablet? if recycling is the concern there surely are more practical ways (get _electrical_ wire scraps for example)??

Clay PCB | Art Meets Radical Openness
It is an open secret that the hardware in our smart devices contains not only plastics but also conflict minerals such as tungsten, tin, tantalum, silver and gold. The Clay PCB investigates alternative hardware from locally sourced materials, so-called ethical hardware, to develop and speculate upon renewable practices for the benefit of both nature and humans. We explored different materials, sentient, low-impact, non-toxic, fair traded, recycled and urban mined means of production.
