Call for street art city intervention: “What can I (you) do with a fire hose?” I found it in the trash the other day. Post your idea in the comments. You can have it!

Hey everyone! I lost an important item at Amsterdam airport. I am looking now for someone who is travelling from Amsterdam to Berlin anyway and who could collect it at lost&found Schipohl on this weekend. Any ideas? Thx for help!

Call for participation. Miriam Winkels and LaForge started a nice competition for USB stick case mods. Please post your results in the USB-ish flickr group and also take a look at the nice USB can opener. :-)

I am still waiting for USB-art exhibitions (or am I missing something, please correct me.)

Good news! Just go a letter from Stiftung Kunstfonds
(german state art funding institute) with a confirmation for a working grant for 2008! Congratulations to all other46 artist who will receive the same grant.

The Urban Media Salon which I am part of opens its doors during Transmediale Berlin. Have you already booked a flight? Wanna join?

Urban Media Salon is a monthly meeting of a tight, expert network of Berliners. Selected guests are invited to discuss the interactions between the space of city and current media phenomena. Exclusive to the transmediale.08, Urban Media Salon is offering a special network event. Get involved in an evening full of uncertainties that will bring you together with 7 other guests of transmediale over dinner in a private apartment. After accepting the binding invitation, the organizers will contact you and decide which of the 7 covert locations would be right for you.

Interested parties please registrate through the Salon Website until January, 29, 2008.

Marius Watz offers an interesting workshop during Clubtransmediale in Jan 08 on generative art involving digital fabrication. Nice! I’ll definately take a look, I love the fablab stuff …

Generator.x in collaboration with Club Transmediale and [DAM] presents Generator.x 2.0: Beyond the screen, a workshop and exhibition about digital fabrication and generative systems.

Digital fabrication (also known as “fabbing”) represents the next step in the digital revolution. After years of virtualization, with machines and atoms being replaced by bits and software, we are coming full circle. Digital technologies like rapid prototyping, laser cutting and CNC milling now produce atoms from bits, eliminating many of the limitations of industrial production processes. Once prohibitively expensive, such technologies are becoming increasingly accessible, pointing to a future where mass customization and manufacturing-on-demand may be real alternatives to mass production…
