<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />The project consisted on inviting <a href="http://altlab.org/">altLab</a>’s members to participate on the construction of an art-piece, based on Alexander Calder’s mobiles, in which each piece of the mobile was to be developed by one or more members so that the final structure (the skeleton holding the pieces together) would be dependent of the assemblage of all of the pieces.</span></span></span>

what was proposed was that the participants develop Open Mobile Pieces
(what we called as OMPs) so that they could be at the final stage of the
project integrated through a skeleton as the Open Mobile project.</span></span></span></span></div>

the unpredictability of replies coming from distant proponents (previous members/non-active and non-local), there
was the case where ideas for OMPs were brought up to be developed
locally.</span></span></span></span><br />

open list was developed to present the OMPs suggested and to seek
collaborators for the non-local proposals. Any member who didn’t propose
an idea could participate as an OMP collaborator, by helping to develop
an OMP.</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A total of 9 pieces were suggested, 3 of these by non-local members in need of local collaborators.</span></span></span></span><br />

The space is misused during
regular weekdays, except for the meetings on Tuesday nights and
occasional workshops during weekends. This is probably due to its
de-centralized and hard to reach location (by public transports).</span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>

Often people asked me when the project was due, followed by an enquire on where it would be shown. </span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Location of the proponent is not an issue for the local development as long as the proponent finds a local committed collaborator, keeping in touch and coordinating the development process with her – this was the case with the MCS piece by <a href="http://tiago.co.nz/">Tiago Rorke</a>.</span></span></span></span><br />

the development period of the Open Mobile Project, there were numerous
events and people stopping by, calling for members either to participate
in other projects, or just to getting to know altLab’s qualities. A
sort of local and physical peer-to-peer network is therefore formed –
composed by common interests - building a mesh of organizations and
open communities that communicate with each other in order to develop
local activities.</span></span></span></span></div>

interesting phenomenon is what I came to designate as “Hackerspace
tourism”. This “hackerspace tourism" happens mainly because members of
different hackerspaces, while travelling, are compelled to visit the
local hackerspaces, and these are easy to find thanks to the
<a href="http://hackerspaces.org/">hackerspaces.org</a> website. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This affluence of people and events has affected this project in different ways, but a notorious one is the participation of Christoph Schneider who promptly developed the <i>Open Octopus </i>(see figure below), to be part of the Open Mobile Project. It is one of the finished pieces to be included on the project and it was developed on record time :-) </span></span><br />

Edward Crocodile-Hands was thought to be an integral part of the <a href="http://ditspace.blogspot.pt/2013/06/open-mobile.html">Open Mobile</a> project... however, Edward was a misfit for the project since handling him shakes the whole piece down... so Edward got his freedom and is now a single Hampelmann... when he takes his hand to his head, he lights up his idea hat... but maybe he does other stuff too, he's open to suggestions.<br />

Edward's shape can be downloaded from DIT's mainsite,<a href="http://dits.rita-sa.com/downloads.html"> here</a> and you can print it through a laser cutter. I'm still working on Edward and trying to figure him out (he's an odd fellow), but you can try it too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-321002962913440008.post-38922697367482191502013-06-17T07:34:00.001-07:002013-06-17T07:34:12.053-07:00Open Mobile <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Open Mobile is a collaborative artwork that is being developed at AltLab and that is opened to all members.<br />
<br />
The mobile is constituted by pieces that are developed individually or collaboratively, and the final integrant structure is built in order to support all developed pieces and having in mind the characteristics of each individual piece.<br />
<br />
The individual pieces — OMPs (Open Mobile Pieces) can range from 3D printed sculptures to electric and/or motorized works… stop by AltLab on any Tuesday (from 8.30pm on) and check it out.<br />
<br />
Development period: April — July 2013<br />
<br />
_______________________________________________________________________<br />
<br />
O Open Mobile é um projecto artístico colaborativo a ser desenvolvido no AltLab e o convite à participação é aberto a todos os membros.<br />
<br />
A ideia é construir uma estrutura kinética e/ou eléctrica (aka “mobile) em que cada pessoa (ou conjunto de pessoas) desenvolve uma peça integrante. O “esqueleto” da estrutura é posteriormente desenvolvido de forma a integrar as peças individuais e tendo em conta as suas características.<br />
<br />
A elaboração das peças individuais — OMPs (Open Mobile Pieces) podem ir desde impresssões 3D a trabalhos eléctricos e/ou motorizados… passem pelo AltLab numa terça-feira (a partir das 20h30) e espreitem.<br />
