To counter the harsh Sun of Shanghai summer, a Sun Shade Cover is added.

Also, 100 earth worms are added to help process the organic matter in the system. Hope they can survive with constant ebb and flow.

Finally, over 300 Chinese green, tomato, cucumbers, eggplants, and sun flowers are transplanted and we should be ready to harvest in about 4 weeks.

The basils and chives transplanted into the system are growing amazingly.

在海葵来的时候还非常的担心户外的鱼菜共生系统会有很大的影响，幸好没有出什么问题，这几天成长开始快了。在照片中间的罗勒长的很漂亮。我会带一些到新车间，有兴趣品尝的朋友可以过来。

在系统里面加入了珊瑚做为PH的调节，也加入了铁肥，补充这样还在初期的鱼菜共生系统这个方面的不足。

XinCheJian is on the December issue of “That’s Shanghai” with Gilbert on the cover.

XinCheJian is proud to host Dorkbot Shangahi #4 on Sunday May 29th. Dorkbot is a group of affiliated organizations worldwide that sponsor grassroots meetings of artists, engineers, designers, scientists, inventors, and anyone else working under the very broad umbrella of electronic art. The dorkbot motto is “people doing strange things with electricity”.

There were 4 artists who presented their work:

Wu Juehui // Juehui is a New Media Artist. In recent years, Wu Juehui operates on the potential interface between art and science, between body and media in close collaboration with research institutes for neural engineering, automatic control and computer graphics.

Harald Haraldsson // Harald is the founder of Wonwei and presented some of their latest work, he also talked about how creative coding can be applied to computational design.

Wang Changcun // Media artist based in Hangzhou, with works exhibited in China, France, Netherlands and Belgium. He talked about his creative process using Max/MSP, Processing, and Flash.

Jingni Wang // Media artist based in Shanghai. She graduated from China Academy of Art, Intermedia Art Department and has completed artist residencies in Netherlands, Belgium, and China. Jingni Wang presented her wearable computing project called Lover’s Instrument. She also talked about social sustainability.

上海的RoboPeak

非常高兴上海 RoboPeak 机器人研发团队会在 3／26的活动 上为我们带来演说。非常期待。

从他们的网站上：

RoboPeak是国内由一群软件工程师、电子工程师、新媒体艺术家所组成的机器人及相关技术领域的设计研发团队，团队于2009年底创建。

团队致力于民用机器人平台系统、机器人操作系统(ROS)以及相关设备的设计研发，并尝试将日新月异的机器人技术融入人们的日常生活与娱乐当中。同时，我们将尽力为机器人技术在开源硬件、开源软件社区的普及做出贡献。

团队在嵌入式系统、系统级软件/固件、图像识别等领域拥有丰富的经验，拥有独立设计，开发机器人操作系统、相关传感器设备硬件/固件的能力。

这个团队在机器人和Arduino上做了相当多开发，详细的情况可以查看他们的博客.底下的图片来自他们的博客，看起来相当有趣的机器人设计，期待周六和他们见面。

XinCheJian’s Neighborhood

I have recently been asked quite a lot of questions about hackerspace, hacker culture and impact of hackerspace in China. This has gotten me starting to think a lot about what it means to run a hackerspace. I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood and find anything that’s related to makers. The following pictures are shops with in 500 meters of our new location in Anhua Lu. It’s a typical Shanghai neighborhood and quite interestingly how many maker related shops are around us.

新车间搬家了哦！

经过在 新单位二楼三个月的孵化后，新车间成长了，要飞了。在安化路和江苏路的老工厂里面找到了一个100平米的新场地，新车间现在真的在工厂里面了。应该在三月底就会装修好。欢迎大家来玩。

Lovely neighborhoold

There are all kind of business around. I am sure we can use them in our making.

Yes, it’s a real factory (che jian)!

Let the be light

One big side of the room is full of window.

Plenty of space
