Makers at Next Berlin 2012

Like last year, Jeremy was invited to curate a panel and speak at Next Berlin, “The leading European conference for the digital industry.” This year the theme was Post-Digital and had a great line-up of speakers. For Jeremy’s panel, he chose Makers as his topic and was fortunate to have Kyle McDonald and Kate Hartman join him on stage to flesh out the topic.

Making Things Talk

This past Monday, we hosted an introduction to electronic basics using Arduino for Franziska’s course at the University of Applied Arts – Hamburg and Jeremy’s class at the Miami Ad School Europe. We were supported by microelectronics student Jörn Sandner who illustrated and explained the finer points of fundamental electronics.

Freunde von Freunden

Right before our month long sabbatical in the Rocky Mountains, our friends from Freunde von Freunden contacted us to see if they could film their first interview in Hamburg. What followed was a delightful day with Frede and Kaspar talking and showing them our work and favorite locations around the city.

Hello World

Hello World.

If you program, you know this is the genesis of your first program. It is also the subject of three documentaries on three programming languages (Processing, OpenFrameworks and Pure data) widely used by artists not to mention by us as well ;)

Object Oriented Play

Is it possible to have children learn programming at a much earlier age than they did yesterday?

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

May the legacy that is Apple Steve Jobs outlive the tools he made for the rest of us.
