-- How do you introduce yourself to someone?
Wendy Van Wynsberghe, artist, tinkerer, member of Floss arts lab Constant vzw, sound & field recorder, fauna adept, part of the lively and chaotic Brussels realm, fascinated by protocol in all shapes and sizes, avid free software user, pro open licences such as the Free arts license for artwork, frankenscript coder, physical computing aficionado, net neutrality custodian, dabbling in soldering, embroidery, crochet & knitting (with or without eTextiles).
The short version depends on the context. (and my mum says it's complicated)
-- What is your name?
-- Geographical location(s)? Brussels, Belgium
-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
artist/organizer/educator(ish)/tinkerer
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
- I am an active member of Constant
http://constantvzw.org/site/-A-propos-de-Constant,7-.html
Constant is a non-profit, artist-run organisation based in Brussels since 1997 and active in the fields of art, media and technology.
The artistic practice of Constant is interdisciplinary and inspired by many themes that criss-cross each other: collaborative work, technological innovation, pipelined networks, software infrastructures, data-exchange, algorithms, experimental archives, new forms of (re)presentations, copyright alternatives, (cyber)feminism and the ethics of the World Wide Web.
Constant organizes different activities (work-sessions, residencies, workshops, exhibitions, presentations) on a regular basis for artists, creators and researchers who are interested in experimentations, discussions and exchanges.
The thread running through Constant’s program is the use and support of open source software.
- I am linked to FablabBrussels
http://www.fablab-brussels.be/fablab/
- I am linked to WTC 25, where 60-ish artists share a workspace on the 25th floor of WTC Brussels. There is an internal mailinglist
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Trade_Center_%28Brussels%29
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
- Constant is funded by public money - we try to keep activites for free.
- The Fablab I go to has a fixed price list, for materials and for the use of the machines. There is no membership/fee.
http://www.fablab-brussels.be/fablab/135/
It runs a lot on trust. You go through a manual semi-individually to learn how to use the machines. Once you have gone through it, you are on a list and you can use that machine.
A lot of very different machines are available including hand tools, drills, woodworking machinery.
The open day is Wednesday, from 13:00 till 21:00
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
- I personally go for open licenses for my work (preferably the Free Art License)
- Constant: Unless otherwise noticed, all content is available under a Free Art License.
- The Fablab has no particular space/place for sharing projects
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
- Constant has a few funding bodies, it's public money:
http://constantvzw.org/site/-Support-.html
- The Fablab is funded by the University VUB and the Hogeschool Brussels
For the startup it had an additional funding body
-- What about documentation?
- More or less of the whole history of constant is available on the website (since 1997)
There are blogs linked to projects
http://constantvzw.org/site/-Projects,1-.html
, document archives
http://constantvzw.org/site/-Depots-.html
, galleries
http://gallery3.constantvzw.org/index.php/
and loads of other platforms
- The Fablab has no particular space/place for sharing projects
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
The Fablab is situated in an educational context, students work there a lot! it's a school of engineering, which is an interesting combination with my own artistic practise.
The atmosphere can be quite open- you have to take the initiative. There's quite a lot of technical knowledge and curiosity as to how things work.
I have learned to know the people who work there and i appreciate them a lot.
Knowledge transmission is informal in the Fablab open day.
They do a lot of workshops for schools and there are projects with the neighbourhood as well.

New York, USA
-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
Digital artist, designer, creative coder. I stand on the edge between design and development. I like to tell stories with code, video, images and the web.
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
Libre Objet ?
http://libreobjet.org
A group of artists, hacker, designer that was created around the exploration of open source licensing applied to product design. We do workshop, publications and exhibitions around open source product design.
F/LAT -
http://f-lat.org
A collective of artists, born from an experiment from Constant (aka. house), that wanted a space in Brussels for education and developpment of Free/Libre open source tools for artists.
Babycastles ?
http://www.babycastles.com/
The co-working space where I spend most days now in NYC and from where I write these lines.
Hardware Hacklab ?
https://hardwarehacklab.io/
A weekly open space for artists and tech enthousiasts in NYC that want to experiment with latest hardware tech
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
At Libre Objet, we usually charge a small fee for the workshops. Sometimes, we are hired to do workshops in schools, public events or galleries. The rest of our activities is mostly volunteer based. We might sell books in the future.
F/LAT organises both free and paid workshops. Members can make donations, help pay the rent, etc. F/LAT is also looking for government subsidies.
Babycastles is supported by its members. Co-workers pay a monthly fee to have access to the space. Babycastles organises a lot of events, from concert to exhibitions, etc. Attendees must pay a small fee to enter.
Hardware Hacklab is entirely supported by Thoughtworks and free to attend for anyone.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
Yes.
With Libre Objet and F/LAT, only certified open source licenses or similar are accepted. The author(s) retains full copyright.
Babycastles and Hardware Hacklab do not demand transfer of ownership. Author retains full copyright. No need to use any specific license either.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
Libre Objet is ran by 3 people, we do most of the organization over email and video conference. We are not funded and should have a bit of cash somewhere. We do this on our own money or on someone else's money, but spend it right away.
F/LAT is ran by a loose group of 5(?) people. (I'm not even sure). It's a registered non profit organization in Belgium and so has 3 administrators. The members pay for the rent, mostly and a percentage of the workshop is dedicated to that also. No funding yet. Donations of hardware and sometimes money have kept it running.
Babycastles is run by a group of artists and triest to get money from its different activities.
Hardware Hacklab is supported by a private software conselting company called Thoughtworks. The company provides venue, food and hardware.
-- What about documentation?
Libre Objet documents its projects on
http://libreobjet.org
,
http://blog.libreobjet.org
,
http://books.libreobjet.org
,
http://github.com/libreobjet/
and
https://twitter.com/libreobjet
F/LAT has a wiki:
http://f-lat.org
and a mailing list
Babycastles has a website
http://www.babycastles.com/
and some social media accounts but does not document much, to my knowledge, all the activities going on there.
Hardware Hacklab does not document anything the participants work on. They have a website with some information on its members and sometimes a blogpost relating the activities.
https://hardwarehacklab.io/
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
One of Libre Objet's mission is to educate and transmit information related to the practice of open source product design. It's one of the key focus of the group.
F/LAT is a space that both functions as a co-learning space and research space. The main activities of F/LAT have been centered around education of free/libre and open source technologies for artists. So it's also one of its main component and reason of existence.
Babycastles organizes sometimes workshops, but it's not the main focus.
Hardware Hacklab is not a space where classes or workshops are organized, but the sharing of information and collaboration is highly encouraged. Most people coming there are open for discussion and explaining what they are working on.

-- How do you introduce yourself to someone?
Generating complexities, confusion and fragility in a performative language around a collective identity, 'bolwerK'. Years ago I would say mediasociographer, lateley, I write I am a media activist and performer who creates interfaces, devices & protocols to instigate our urban and institutional hardware. I engage in the administrative, cultural, political dimension of personal and collective identities. By triggering intersubjective alliances I confront the 'self & other' to the commons, co-authorship and the redistribution into the public domain.
Sometimes I also present my c'yclic continuuum of identities': from a farmer to a sysadmin.
-- What is your name?

I lam a lodger in the hackbase S14 in Antwerp :
http://www.ooooo.be/S14
(antwerp based )
I life at the moment now/here (worksessions, conferences, symposia, camps, … ) so I can focus on specific 'work' 'identities', revisiting regularly different collectives and colonies like Flatbread Society (NOR +...), Calafou (SP), Hotel Amazonas (IT), ,...
-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
I/We in an intersection of (identity) politics, technology, art & performativity.
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
I am linked to bolwerK, a non-exclusive constellation that has been initiating, mediating, facilitating, curating and appropriating projects since 1998. bolwerK constructs social environments that ask, as well as seek to answer, critical questions in today’s society. 'Open source' is a philosophy not a pragmatic methodology to expand these questions into praxis and to generate complexities.

http://www.ooooo.be/S14
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
The 'fee' is constituted by finding a balance between alternative economies, private proprety ownership (a house) and state allowance(unemployment fee) and social services (insurance,pension,...)

bolwerK > Constellation: on inivitation or self-initiation projcets start, we cherish the unknown
-- What about documentation?
Our 'invitations' ' promotion' 'web/print' 'tools' 'props' 'administrative print outs' are gathered in the bolwerK archive which is part of the hackbase S14.
Technically, we have an owncloud to store data, we use
https://archive.org/details/@bolwerk
for video/audio.
During performative events, the documention is not centralized and fixed but is mediated by the 'audience', 'cocreators', ' particpiants'.
The more angles/perspectives/experiences the better... but we don't really commission the representation of experiences.
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
Transmision and informal learning is a key to our praxis. It unlocks our personal brains into a collective experience ....

Our hackerspace is called Area 3001 and consist mainly of IT and Electronics enthusiasts. We meet weekly in FabLab Leuven.
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
The only membership fee we use is a forfeit for the drinks and snacks during our weekly meetings. Currently the price is €10,- / month. Every now and then we update the monthly fee to cover the yearly cost for the beer and snacks.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
All projects are open source and this will remain so in the future. We us a mix of Apache / GPL / MIT licenses depending on the project leader.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
Most of the practical stuff is handled by me. We receive no funding but we do work closely together with FabLab Leuven. The need for funding is minimal because we can use their infrastructure and tools.
-- What about documentation?
Most of our work is published and documented on Github. If it's pure mechanical we publish it as a FabMoment on the website of FabLab Leuven.
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
This is a key point in the hackerspace. Everyone knowns something worth sharing. Almost every week people gather around one person to listen to him educate/preach/explain. These are more like a quick introduction into the matter.

-- How do you introduce yourself to someone?
During the week days : working as a project manager part time for KIKK (www.kikk.be), part time for TRAKK Namur, Namur creative hub and fablab. Studied Law.
During nights and week ends : draws a lot, photographer, piano player, MOOC addict, .. and a lot of other things.
-- What is your name?
Jil Theunissen
-- Geographical location(s)?
Namur, Belgium for work, Brussels for living
-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
KIKK Festival : international festival of creative and digital cultures. Taking place in Namur since 2011, includes conferences, workshops, exhibitions, performances, start-ups/innovations market. Gathers +6000 people from 45 countries around the world. My role as a project manager is to help organizing the whole thing (in particular KIKK Market : showroom of +- 25 intrenational makers and/or start-ups exhibiting innovative, creative and technological projects). It goes from curation to searching funding, from communication to reporting.
TRAKK Namur : Namur creative hub and fab lab. Co-creation space that aims to foster the links between art, new technologies, business and sciences in order to create creative projects. TRAKK provides offices for creative companies, a fablab, and organizes workshops, conferences and other events either for companies, private, students, children, etc. My job is to organize these workshops, conferences, to run collaborative projects ; manage the communication, the funding part, the partnerships, .... Actually we are 3 to run the place so we all do a wide range of things ;-)
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
See below
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
Fablab : people pay for their membership (30euros for 5 half-days or 200€ per year) and for the materials.
Workshops, conferences, other events : We are funded by the State so we try not to make people pay too much. Altough we used to provide free access to every activity, we are now changing that way of doing: Conferences are still free, but workshops can now be submitted to a fee (from 10 to 100€)
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
Actually we are a bit lost in this. We try to be the more open possible, but we still don't have precise guidelines.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
Public money for the most of it. Wallonia funds for the past 2 years, and we're about to get structural EU funds (FEDER). Still, we'll try to get funding from other structures/institutions, in order to cover different fields of work (children, companies, art, etc). In addition, some private funding from some of the 4 founders (our company for example).
-- What about documentation?
We share most of our technical work on our wiki. We encourage fablab members and workshop givers to do it as well.
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
YES! First with François (below) being at the fablab on the opening days and helping people around, second with all the workshops / conferences / events we organize. We try to organize the workshops on a monthly base (initiation to some technologies or more advanced levels) and conferences every two/three months.

http://restartersbcn.info/
Restarters Barcelona is an informal collective that, inspired by The Restart Project (UK), organizes Restart Parties in different places and neighbourhoods of the city. We also try to promote and help others to self-organize their own Restart Parties in their neighbourhhods. A Restart Party is a public event where volunteers with technical skills help participants to learn how to repair their own electric and electronic devices. The atmosphere is calm, fun, in community, so people who are waiting for a Restarter, can have a snack and a drink, chat or get to know more about the Restart Parties. When someone arrives to the Restart Party with a broken device, a hosting volunteer asks about what may be wrong and matches the participant/device with an appropriate Restarter. Then, the participants learn about their repair together with the Restarter, who tries to involve them in the repairing process as much as possible. At the end, the goal is that participants become aware of the repairability of their devices and about how easily we can extend the life of our devices. Be aware, then, of the huge ecological and economic impact that we can save by ourselves.
http://www.recyhub.com/
Recyhb is a social enterprise which provides environment friendly tools to process e-waste for the informal sector. We are in the process of researching and setting up our structure. We want to set up an e-waste innovation hub, a space that integrates e-waste related activities and tools, a marketplace for the e-waste recycling value chain. Committed to open-source, low cost, low tech, appropriate tools. All our tool designs and processes are available under CC-BY-SA. Recyhub’s target population are the people collecting, refurbishing and recycling e-waste in the informal sector. We plan to provide e-waste recycling related tools and services at affordable prices. The activities we will support will be: collecting e-waste; shredding cables to extract copper; dissassembling computers; store materials.
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
In the case of the Restart Parties, this is a free community event where people can donate some money if they consider it (and we remember to bring the money box). We don't charge for anything and we make it for fun. The Restarters BCN collective is an open collective where anybody interested on the project could become a member.
In the case of Recyhub, we are a group of people with different expertises and who live in different countries, which makes it a bit difficult to work. In fact, we have never meet up all together face to face. The "alma mater" of the project is Rafa Font, whose MA final project was the base for Recyhub. Right now, we are developing a prototype of cable stripper with the collaboration of a local "creative group" of engineering students in Ghana (KNUST -Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology). There are several ways of participating in Recyhub: as a member, as an investor, as a partner or as a donator. Right now, we are quite stopped because of personal circumstancies (recent paternity), working conditions (lack of time and money) and spatial obstacles (international team in different countries).
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
In the case of Recyhub, we plan all our tool designs and processes to be available under CC-BY-SA.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
Restarters BCN organizes through a mailing list and eventual assemblies in coffee and bars to define and distribute tasks. We organized our first Restart Party in October and from then on, we have organized 4 in total. The core group is the one that organizes and makes logistics but Restart Parties would not be possible without the volunteer work and generosity of repairers volunteers. We don't have any kind of funding, except the donations that participants may give us but we are really bad at asking for money. We plan to be aware about economic aids from city council or any other institutions that may help us to buy materials or some snacks for the Restart Parties.
In the case of Recyhub, we don't have either any kind of economic aid. For now, as Recyhub started as Rafa's MA project, he dedicated his own money and time to develop the proposal. For the current project about the cable stripper prototype, we have put a bit of money on our own, anyone as they can.
-- What about documentation?
In the case of the Restart Parties, we take pinctures of the events and take very specific notes about the electronics and other devices we try to fix. We take not of the model and brand, of the problem, of the repairer's name, and also about the final result (fix or not) and the solution. We plan to share all this information with a central data base managed by The Restart Project. To gather all this information from all the Restart Parties in the world would help us to be stronger as a global movement and to show institutions and governments the positive effects of our action (in terms of e-waste prevention). We hope this kind of data also help us to get some funding to make the project live longer and more sustainable.
We also plan to update the website in order to upload pictures and press notes about the Restart Parties.
In the case of Recyhub, we plan to publish openly all the sketches and final designs of the tools. Also, the blogsite tries to be the public point for information and documentation.
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
In the case of Restart Parties, we consider that they are, in fact, educative activities. People stop being afraid of technology and they dare to open and put their hands on their own devices.
In the case of Recyhub, we are not planning any educative activity for now, apart from the collaborative relationships between makerspaces (like the one in Accra-Agblogboshie), engineer students and some recyclers' unions.

-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
Usinette.org is born in the /tmp/lab hackerspace south Paris, France.
We share the same modus operandi like non formal organization as possible, making documentations on projects, pollinize the way to make another collectives like hackerspaces by facilitating and helping everybody who ask for.
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
There is no economical system in usinette.org although people helped by usinette.org could create one. The ineractions are participative and non lucrative. We promote ways to get out of the capitalist system as possible. Our tactic can be compared with liberalism without capitalism and competitiveness : sort of utopical solcialism or radical socialism as William Morris described it in the late 1800.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
No.
Use of licences depends on the project but it has to be "free" or "libre"

-- How do you introduce yourself to someone?
Alberto and Mireia we are both industrial engineers in product design, that changed into a more manual practice of design. Our work focuses on the development and application of design tools, always from a multidisciplinary vision, working concepts as habitat, collective intelligence, ecology, co-creation, participation, upcycling and open design. Each of us complement our professional labour (as product and graphic designers) with and active participation in Makeatuvida collective.
-- What is your name?
Alberto Flores & Mireia Juan
-- Geographical location(s)?

-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
We are people who actively participate in open design and recycling projects related to the collective construction of our habitat. Despite all being independent professionals in these fields, we consider ourselves eternal apprentices in this fascinating world of self-assembly, recycling and open source. Every day we learn something new thanks to the willingness of those we work with to interchange and share knowledge and ideas. As members of Makea Tu Vida, over the years we have been lucky enough to carry out various activities related to open design and recycling: conferences and talks, giving workshops in cultural and educational centers, communication campaigns, strategy development, organizing meetings and exhibitions, etc.
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
Makea Tu Vida is a non-profit-making organisation operating within the fields of training, research and development relating to open design and reuse, with the aim to encourage creative upcycling. Our lines of action involve open design, reuse and communication, with emphasis placed on:
- Outlining and to exploring new furniture solutions through design processes that involve open source and reuse methodologies.
- Generating strategies of collective and participative work that motivate self-building as a conciousness and critical reflection tool.
- Training on open source design tools.
- Promoting DIWO (Do It with others) culture as a decentralised method of peer empowerment
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
Makea Tu Vida is generally hired to do workshops in education and cultural centers (mainly universities, professional training, museums and art centers), public events or just with a community of people who needs to equip a community space. Sometimes, we also work as consultants and developing longer projects related to waste flows and “maker” communities. We also do small courses, talks and conferences. Although participating in our activities is usually free, we charge a fee to the organization that hires us to develop the activity.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
Although we use open source licenses, the author(s) always retains full copyright.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise – funding?
Makea Tu Vida is ran by 3/5 people, and it's registered as a non-profit-making association that have its headquarter in Barcelona where it rents a space in Fabra i Coats Art Factory. The collective gets money from its different activities.
-- What about documentation?
All projects and activities Makea Tu Vida does remain documented in the platform
http://El-Recetario.net
and in our website
http://makeatuvida.net
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
One of the key objectives of the group is the transmission of knowledge related to open design, reuse methodologies and self-building, and we put this into practice in each of the activities we develop.

-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
FabLab Genk is an open research experiment and workplace, functioning as an alternative work environment in which new work practices, tools, processes, etc. can grow in the difficult context of Genk.
As way to overcome the issues of sustainability and participation of other groups than students, throughout the last years several activities (workshops, exhibitions, demonstrations, information sessions, etc.) were initiated to actively involve others - and more specifically those from the surrounding neighborhoods in Genk – in the FabLab Genk, striving for long-term participation. In this way the emphasis on the FabLab as a technical infrastructure or a lasercut shop is shifted to the FabLab as a community space that not only offers public, shared access to high-end manufacturing equipment but also provides a space that supports and collaborates with local actors in their (making) activities.
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
Fablab Genk is free to use 2.5 days a week, but sharing the object is mandatory.
We do workshops but we have no fixed prices, depending on the organization and amount of people participating we calculate the cost.
We rent out our fablab with or without support for businesses the price varies around €650 a day. In return they can use all the machines and they don’t have to document their prototype.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
They can use whatever license they want. I encourage sharing everything for non-commercial use.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
FabLab Genk (www.fablabgenk.be) is a local FabLab, set up in 2012 as a European project (Interreg IV). After completion of the project FabLab Genk was integrated in LUCA School of Arts, funded by this institution and the city of Genk.
-- What about documentation?
Documentation is mandatory in the form of fabmoments on the website, but it’s not working for us at te moment. If my students do work in the fablab they have to document this on Instructables.
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
The fablab is embedded in the classes for communication and media design and product design. The students have theoretical and practical classes in the fablab. The fablabs main users are therefore design students. We try to include other groups of people by organizing specific workshops. These workshops are more informal learning experiences.

I have strong roots in archaeology, a passion I still try to follow up on in the field every year. Currently I work at Timelab in Ghent, where I can explore and nourish my interests in more technical fields and knowledge transference.
I am also a painter and a graphic designer. I am currently working on my first childrens book.
-- What is your name?

-- How would you define your activity(ies)/job(s)/profession(s)?
I am in charge of maintaining the machines at Timelab, and of developing ways to make them easy to use for our community. I also organise workshops and stimulate the sharing of knowledge within our community.
Next to that I am a part time artist and archaeologist.
-- Can you say something about the space/collective you are linked to? (for example Name? How would you describe the space/collective? Why?)
Timelab creates examples of small and big changes, and offers time, space, and reflection for a society in times of change. Timelab has since the start in 2010 evolved from the individual support of artists to a sustainable collaboration in a non-hierachical structure. We have created a community of makers, hosted makers, artists, engineers, etc. About 530 activities are hosted each year, ranging from creation projects, over workshops, lectures and open lab days, to a yearly bootcamp. All of this is supported by our infrastructure and internal workings.
-- Do you have a price list / fees? How does this function: do you charge for services or for the use? Membership/fee? How much, under what conditions?
Members of our community pay a yearly fee which gives them access to our lab. Next to that, they do pay for materials, which we offer at the price we payed for them. We have an aditional fee for use of the lasercutters.
We also provide a co-working space. Use of the co-working space is free.
-- Do you retain ownership of the work/works once transferred? What about licenses?
We encourage sharing knowledge and an open source mentality.
-- How does this space/collective function? Organisation wise - funding?
The foundation of our funding is a government subsidy. Next to that we try to find other funds for the larger projects we lead each year. A last part of our funding comes from membership fees.
-- What about documentation?
We encourage people to document and share their projects. People are free to use the platform they prefer, but we do offer them advice about new sharing platforms. Creations are also shown on our website
-- What about knowledge transmission/education? Does this play an active role in your activities/space? How?
We have developed a number of manuals to go with our machines to make sure people can feel confident in using them independently. Next to that we actively encourage members of the community to help and teach eachother. We also organise a number of workshops to help people get a deeper understanding of the machines, Arduino, etc. A library with books on various lab abd art related topics is also present in the workspace. If members of the community enrol in online courses together, we both encourage and actively support that. We actively try to build a diverse community where people can learn from eachother in an informal setting.
