Detailed text:
Artists and makers have new consumer and open source devices to play with (e.g. arduino + wii nunchuck/ processing + wiimote for example). The culture of sharing has enabled ideas to rapidly spread. As the tools are getting easier and cheaper, what do we want to build today, collaborate on tomorrow, set free in the future? Transitlab.org is a place where I blog about hybridity, art/science and collaboration. I will talk about light responsive devices, my current project on open biology and how I am opening these projects up.
