EN: When planning for our visit on Planet B (we were part of a living exhibition) we thought about setting up an open hackathon on modularity. But when living in the rocket we were too busy (with this and that and other stuff). There was just time for a short brainstorming.

EN: We did a workshop with 13 year old kids in Neukölln on circular street waste. We collected waste in the street and drilled a unified grid into the parts (the 3erlin Grid) and created a modular system with it – a city to be used as a resource for constant rejuvenation. The workshop is documented in full detail (including the methodology) at the main Mifactori Website.

Aber “The City Is Open Source” wurde im Rahmen des Projektes “Stadtbesetzung” von der Galerie im Park Viersen eingeladen, sich an einer Urban Art-Ausstellung zu beteiligen – eine gute Gelegenheit, mal etwas für eine Ausstellung zu gestalten. / Hier eine Eindrücke von der Ausstellung und Dingen drumherum.

EN: What the heck is City Hacking? “Hacking” in general is an act of creativity. It means to overcome, bypass or break limitations of systems. To use things differently then intended is one possible way.
