Transfabric - A para-sitic workshop on transnational D.I.Y.

The CMCS helped organize this workshop, which took place at FabLab Budapest and Kitchen Budapest. The workshop brought together key thinkers and practitioners from the U.S., Europe, China and Iran who work at the intersection of digital and urban design, making and remaking. The main goal of the workshop was to provide a space to learn from each others’ experiences and establish opportunities for future collaboration. The workshop contained a strong practical component, in which participants broke out in groups to sketch and build various digital and electronic artifacts.

The workshop was organized in collaboration by LUCI – Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing at University of California, Irvine; the Center for Global Communication Studies (CGCS) at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania; and the CMCS. It was sponsored by the CGCS, Google OpenSource Office and Google China Developer Relations, Kitchen Budapest and Fablab Budapest.
