lift france 10

Fab Labs are workshops where almost anyone can design and make almost anything. Under the name Fab Labs or other names such as Tech Shops and Hackerspaces, hundreds of shared spaces are providing the means to design, prototype and produce new objects, to create installations, to customize existing products.

Fab Labs are made of computer controlled tools creating rapid prototypes of physical objects - and revolutionizing the fabrication processes. The initial program launched at the Media Lab at MIT in 2007, spread to all over the world. At Lift France 10 the Fab Lab pioneers Adrian Bowyer (University of Bath, UK), Ton Zijlstra (FabLab foundation Netherlands) and Haakon Karlsen Jr. (MIT FabLab Norway) presented their insights.

Adrian Bowyer (University of Bath, UK) introduced the session by presentation RepRap, a tool that is both used and produced in Fab Labs. It is a self-replicating machine made of a cheap desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Bowyer showed both the underlying principles of the RepRap and the community tools (such as the sharing of digital designs) and gave an outlook on the legal and economical implications of RepRap.

We are now publishing the Lift France 10 videos: Check out Ivo Gormley inspiring speech about the relationship between social innovation and digital technologies.

Ivo Gormley "Us Now" (Lift France10 EN)

The BBC just featured a short clip on one of Ivo's project, the good gym.

Ivo Gormley is a filmmaker and anthropologist working as head of media at Think Public, an award-winning agency focused on using design to improve service experiences in the public sector. In 2009 Ivo released Us Now, a much acclaimed film that demonstrates how mass collaboration online is changing the way we organise our lives and relate to other people.

Ivo's latest movie Playmakers explores the emerging area of pervasive games, the implications of reclaiming play into the public domain and the possibilities offered by new technologies.

Check out the two clips Euronews did on Lift France 10. We had an amazing time in Marseille, the official Lift France 10 videos will be published in a few days.
