Daily Sessions of Human Hubbing
You know, I think I will skip the daily reports from now and simply write what I see and experience here in Beograd. During the eclectic tech carnival there are shorter daily sessions like the silc screen printing where Urska and Maja prepared two screens with femi, lesbian or genderchanger logos. Each participant can print their own t-shirt or bag on or more of these logos.Another daily session is the half hour organizational meeting where all /etc-developers come together and discuss issues of the day. It is a very good way to avoid misunderstandings and to get to know each other better. I believe there are about twenty of us now, coming from all around the world.
Maya introduces a juggling workshop every morning. Each day we make new juggling balls as people tend to take them home. We make them using stockings filled with barley. There is an open market close by and the man who sells socks and stockings must believe we are crazy about his products. We should get a discount by now as we bought more than 40 pairs (size large, black) the past three days!
The third sessions which is more or less always going on is the video filming and editing by Marishka and Maria. Together they collect loads of material of the event, interviewing people and try to put together some short clips to present at the end of this week. Everyone is welcome to join and learn more about filming and editing techniques.
Last daily session is the Pippi Kalora HubDub Session. It is a fifteen long workshop where we all make noices and movements to avoid the typical nerd positions too long: bent over a keyboard, staring at a screen for hours and hours. We have done theater improvisation of repeating rythmical sounds in subDUBgroups, conductor of kakaphony orchestras, and created organic noices using half filled Serbian (0,5 liter) beer bottles. Each day there is another one of the participants leading the session, and everyone can add their own ideas. It is great fun and at least twenty people join daily.
Each one of this daily events contributes to the concept of the eclectic tech carnival as it is about having fun together and sharing each others creativity and sense of humor. It is also about widening the ideas around computer technology. We try making processes around organizational issues more transparent and easy to access. But first of all we get to know each other, and that is what is important in these sessions.
Talk to you soon,
greetz
