The Pixelversity Waste/d project explores waste management systems, Trashlab repair cafe, and creative material sustainability issues, in collaboration with different partners. This thematic develops new angles for Trashlab, and incorporates the 2013 Recycling Olympic Games.
Let's meet again, repair, thinker, fix, break, up-cycle and reuse our broken things! A (semi-) expert team of fixers and avid thinkerers will be at your disposal and ready to help you with your broken stuff, but self-reliancy and experimentation is encouraged!
* In this TrashLab we will be concentrating on our electronic waste! The event is open to everyone, free of charge and you are encouraged to bring your own objects for repairing, mending or up-cycling. The repairs are made for free, but please note that they take time and that the organisers do not have every tool or replacement part...
