Trashlab
27 maaliskuu 2017 17:00 — 20:00
TRASHLAB events are social occasions to gather, try to fix broken things, while meeting others who care about tinkering, fixing, hacking, and the problem of waste and obsolescence in society. For each event, the expert hosts will try to identify the problems or diagnose the broken item and direct participants on how they can fix their item.
Trashlab will be at Temporary which is located at:
Kolmas Linja 7, 00530 Helsinki
The gate code, to get into the courtyard where Temporary is located, is "1906"

Trashlab activists also had a role in the development of the space and its facilities: Albert Laine, Eero Yli-Vakkuri, Andrew Paterson and myself (Päivi Raivio) participated in the co-planning process during a workshop organised by the city...

By Sara Milazzo. So we entered the recycling center to be welcomed with coffee and buns. First we were introduced to the history of the company, tracking back to the beginning of 19th century, and then onwards to nowdays with service packages and global networking trends. The global aspect of big recycling companies doesnt seem to be a easy and clear picture. Due to cultural, regulation and law differences its hard to global consensus, while problems should be dealt with locally. On one hand it is pure business, but on the other hand its very crucial for how life on earth will continue...

Pixelache launched it's 2016 Trashlab programme with an afternoon session in the sculpture department of Kuvataideakateemia's kitchen. Hosted by Pixelache's Justin Tyle Tate, the session found a variety of participants fixing clothes, electronics, toys, and bicycles, with some experimentation as well. Trashlab will continue throughout the year with regular activities. Check back here or on the usual channels for more information and announcements. Some photos from yesterday's session are shown above, and you may also find the whole gallery on Flickr.
