How to make (almost) anything: Fab Academy 2015
My first contact with the digital world began during the last years of university, when I started to researching on the relationship between space form and the unconscious, but in reality I can say that the real meeting with the concept of “make”, “make anything … almost” and “make it yourself” and the world in continuous exponential evolution of the tools of this “make”, has taken place in my life, and it is widely developed in Barcelona, where I could directly apply these concepts and technologies to a large number of research and real-world projects. In my current work at the UDEM, both in the activities that I do as a teacher and researcher, both in the Fab Lab MTY, the route that I already begun, now is extended from the simple use of advanced technologies of the “making”, also to the development of their tools and to their transmission. My participation in the Fab Academy, surely will give to me valuable new tools to be able in develop new ideas and works, strengthen those already initiated, but rather than anything else, to share and transmit them.
Assignments
Here, during the next 19 weeks, I will expose step by step the project that I am developing for this Fab Academy 2015.
