备注: 非常感谢我们微博上的热情粉丝LolaSD帮忙将报导翻译成中文!和谢旻琳帮忙效对和放上网站! P1000580 创客嘉年华作为北京地区的第一个创客文化交流中心,坐落于中华世纪坛数字艺术馆(CMoDA)。来自国内外的创客聚集在一起,在创客嘉年华中展示他们的项目,发表演讲,开展工作坊活动。本次活动由王盛林带领下的北京创客空间主办,北京各大高校的学生也积极参与,为活动提供了帮助。 为期四天的嘉年华的每天都安排了演讲分享会。第一天是大会的主题演讲,而第二天我错过了演讲,但据说来的人不是很多,不超过十个人。我参加了嘉年华第三天的周一分享会,观众的数量也大幅增加。虽然观众大部分为中国人,而且并没有创客背景,但是演讲超过一半均用英语进行,带有浓烈的国际性的色彩。演讲者主要来自德国,法国和美国的东西海岸。 IMG_9427 我以Lophilo为主题开始了第一演讲,Lophilo是一个我和李旭正在开发的一个基于ARM和FPGA的开发板。Lophilo出自于新车间创客空间,所以我很自然的将两者结合在一起。本次演讲以我自己的一些背景和经历开始,然后讲到了我和谢旻琳还有李大维共同创办新车间的过程、我和李旭如何认识、关于本项目的原始的想法和想法发展的过程。 IMG_9515 Jihyun Song在我之后发言,介绍了韩国首尔的创客空间、韩国创客正在进行的项目、他们所拥有的人才以及所面临的挑战。她播放了一段讲述外国人在参观首尔电子市场时兴奋不已的视频,这段视频启发我们可以更频繁地组织去参观位于上海市北京东路668号的上海赛格电子市场IMG_9536 在Jihyun Song发表演讲期间,来自北京创客空间的Zhang Hao让我接替他来做接下来的嘉宾的演讲开场介绍。 IMG_9524 演讲的下一个环节是林欣杰带来的 “新媒体=能量转换” 的主题——“在艺术创作中,新概念的提出并非是唯一甚至不是最重要的决定因素”。当时的演讲语言为中文,而我正在查看接下来的其他演讲者,所以我错过了林欣杰的演讲的一些内容。 其后,Tobias Schneider在其演讲中介绍了位于德国慕尼黑的Chaos Communication Club。Sophia Schillai也随同Tobias Schneider来到了现场。他们介绍了他们的电子徽章(“火箭徽章”、“r0ket”)的来历,以及德国创客空间的情况。“火箭徽章”用可回收的电子标示牌创造而成,是一个非常有意思的微平台。我感觉如果能增加屏幕的大小将会是一个非常好的改进,现在的版本有时候连名字都看不清。 刘得志(Kevin Lau)的演讲主题是 “从爱到工作”,该主题被翻译成英语语境下的 “创客生活”。在2009年,刘创办了位于广州的 “d+dimension” 创客空间,虽然在我看来他们似乎从来没有对公众开放。期间,他展示了一个看起来很复杂的互动装置 “Hello Kitty机器猫”。 IMG_9530P1000764 Mitch Altman 延续了以上的主题,做了主题为 “做你爱做的事” 的演讲。其中,他插入了很多他个人对世界未来潮流的非常有趣的判断。他预测了美国的金融系统崩溃的必然,而中国应该成为更有创造性的经济体。 P1000770 来自纽约网页设计公司Wonderbred的Astrida Valigorsky(Astrid)同时也是NYC Resistors创客空间的一名非常活跃的创客。这次他带来一架“可以吃的钢琴”的钢琴——“Jeltone”。Jeltone是一个用水果和啫喱织造的互动音乐器材。她的一个重要发现是,在推进一个新想法的过程中总是有各种强烈的冲突,这是非常平常的状况,而你所需要做的便是坚持到底! P1000771 肖文鹏(“FlamingoEDA”)的演讲主题是“电子积木”。他是中国开源硬件的积极推动者,也是北京创客空间(原名为“FlamingoEDA”)的合作创办人之一。他介绍了一些新产品以及研发中的一些创新成果。 高磊(“Whaleman”)接着发表了演讲,他是IMLAB的一名交互设计师及CEO,并对健康医疗领域有强烈的兴趣。他在这方面做了很多研究,并且有一个称之为 “Tamagome” 的产品研发的清晰流程。 P1000772 Greg Saul介绍了他正在研究的开源软件“SketchChair”。这个软件由一个非常成功的“Kickstarter ”项目(云集资项目)启动,是一个允许用户自主设计家具的软件,令人印象深刻。除此以外,通过内置的物理模型,你还可以运用这个软件真实测试椅子的牢固程度。这项技术非常的特别而且成熟,也是我最喜欢的主题之一:本地化和自主化的生产。Greg的演讲以“Piccolo”作结,“Piccolo”是一个体积很小、独立可编辑的开源数控机床(CNC)平台。 P1000777 来自加州大学欧文分校的Dr Garnet Hertz也发表了演讲。他是 富布赖特项目(“Fulbright”)的研究人员,也是一位当代艺术家(http://conceptlab.com)。他原始的演讲主题是关于“Dorkbot”——“Dorkbot”是一个主题为“人类用电做奇怪的事儿”的活动,他是这个活动在洛杉矶的组织者。新车间组织过两个类似的活动而我们希望举办更多的这样的项目。但是最后他决定更改主题,展示他以往的一些项目的视频。第一个视频让好几个观众感觉反感不适,这个视频展示了一个巨型的蟑螂操作的机器人!尽管这个项目是几年前的项目,现在看起来依然非常酷。第二个视屏是关于一个非常酷的复古街机赛车游戏,其背景是由真实动态的街景路况生成。他的结论是,拥有一个想法比技术本身更重要,我们不应该从Arduino或者其他的硬件开始,我们应该从一个想法开始。他对一些创客空间计划做了尖刻的批评,尤其是从美国国防高级研究规划局(DARPA)取得资助的项目)——他认为这个制造武器无异。我认为他最后的一个批评是直接针对我而来的。。。 P1000784 来自ATOCorp 的Antonin Fourneau谈论了他正在做的关于人机交互(HCI,Human Computer Interaction)的实验,这些实验一般通过修改例如任天堂这些游戏机完成。他也谈论了他正在法国组织的类似Makerfaire的一类的活动——ENIAROF,该活动与旧时代的“faire”类似。他们对参加者有相对复杂且详细的要求,这种制度比起其他的创客文化有明显的文化差异,我觉得非常有趣。 最后的演讲者是Devon Sean McCullough,但是在他毫无解释的情况下的离场之后,我们集合了所有仍然在场的演讲者完成了观众的提问环节。但是Devon Sean McCullough后来又出现了,我们让他完成演讲,所以提问环节的时间被缩短了。 ]]>

新车间发特急[2012]1号文件 关于新车间场地搬迁日期改动以及接待外宾米奇奥特曼来访的通知 为了贯彻落实新车间为广大创客更好服务的精神,做好积极提高新车间软硬件环境的工作,经研究,决定将新车间场地搬迁日期推迟至2012年4月15日(周 日)晨8:30分。为了能更好的完成这次搬迁攻坚战,我们需要发动广大群众的积极性,在搬迁前日(2012年4月14日)晚8:00点开始一次史无前例的 打包清理工作,请父老乡亲们奔走相告。 欲行兮则悲欢共在,欢其新址之瑰丽,悲其时而不定之仓促,然,乘此新旧交替之良辰(2012年4月11日周三晚7:30分),米奇奥特曼乘风而至,另陋室 生辉无数。其人乃创客之祖,为无数创客之辈膜拜,名贯古今之奇人也。其一行人等更是高的高,矮的矮,黑的黑似炭,白的白似雪,太阳穴鼓着,腮帮子笼着,个 个是身怀绝技!今晚如若不来,将悔过今生。 By popular demand we _didn’t_ move last weekend, in-fact this is the last week in the space. we’re moving and nothing will stop us this time, hopefully by Sunday the 15th we will have lights in the new space! otherwise some members of XinCheJian will be hanging Blue and Red Florescent lights near the windows. If you would like to help with packing, 8pm @ XinCheJian on this Saturday or 8:30am on this Sunday @ XinCheJian for the move, spread the word! Today, Wednesday we have the /ultra-mega-wow-wednesday, a spectacular!/ we have Mitch Altman the Grand-daddy of hacker-spaces along with visiting Hackers, this will be the ultimate Wednesday that you will only kick yourself if you miss, check out the section below titled “Recent changes at XinCheJian” for more updates at the space! This evenings confirmed presentations: 3D implants, microcontroller hacks and “car-radio-be-gone”. Wednesday Presenters Mitch Altman is a San Francisco-based hacker and inventor, best known for inventing TV-B-Gone remote controls, a keychain that turns off TVs in public places.  He was also co-founder of 3ware (a Silicon Valley RAID controller company), did pioneering work in Virtual Reality at VPL Research, and created the Brain Machine, one of MAKE Magazine’s most popular DIY projects. For the last many years he has been on the road from hackerspace to hacker-con leading workshops around the world, teaching one and all to make cool things with electronics and teaching everyone to solder with his open source hardware kits. Mitch is one of the co-founders of Noisebridge, a San Francisco hacker space, and President and CEO of Cornfield Electronics. Mitch will talk about his newest project “car radio be gone!” also ask to see his hackerspace passport! Tobias Schneider, I am an electrical engineering student at Technische Unversitaet Muenchen. I’m interested in embedded electronics and light installations. I was part of the AllColoursAreBeautiful art installation in Munich, which was partly funded by the city. Recently I was involved in producing eco friendly, rechargeable electronic name badges for a big German maker/hacker convention. I’m going to present this name badge at the Maker Carnival in Beijing and give a workshop to create own addons for the badge. Florian Friesdorf, I studied electronic engineering and system ergonomics at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), Munich, Germany. For about two years now, I’m a fully self-employed Munich-based software developer mostly working with python and javascript. While I earn my living developing software, I’m exploring to extend that to haptic user interfaces involving wooden blocks, equipped with touch screens and sensors to measure their relative position. One application would be the hierachical modeling of workflows in health care. In cooperation with the The Department for Human Factors Engineering and Product Ergonomics at the Technische Universitaet Berlin, Germany an open source software was created. I now want to produce arduino-based prototypes of the haptic UI and am looking forward to the Maker Carnival to share thoughts and ideas.  When not in Munich, I’m on sprints and hackerspaces around the world. Jimmie Rodgers, I am a full time hacker, maker, circuitbender, etc. I design open source hardware kits, as well as teach a variety of workshops, and give talks on many topics that interest me.  I travel and run workshops quite a bit!  My most popular kits are the Atari Punk Console, a simple and fun sound generator, and the LoL Shield, an Arduino shield with lots of LEDs on it!  I am co-founder of Artisan’s Asylum, a huge hackerspace in Boston. Charles Paul, I am an IT consultant from New Orleans, LA. Currently the lead software developer at Pixt.com. I consult, design, develop and deliver non-trivial solutions for tricky problems; doing this in the past for Charles Schwab, Hewlett Packard, Wells Fargo, and the largest class action firm in the USA, among others. In a previous time I was also employee #1 at Metrix:CreateSpace, and am currently involved in a similar endeavor here in New Orleans. I am very much looking forward to visiting China and better learning the language! Yair reshef, An art technologist and educator, consulting some of the leading art and design institutes in Israel. In this capacity I help promote creative technology in the arts and vise verse. A recent such example is fabrication of an hepatic car wheel for a year long collaboration between Bezalel academy of Arts and General motors. as an educator I give workshops and help people experience rapid prototyping of electronics and code. My students ranging from small kids to teachers and faculty. Coming from Israel, I keep a close watch on our start-up culture, and am always amazed by the power of a few committed talents to bring things to be. Simon Schubert , I’m an EE major converted to Computer Science PhD student, currently studying in Lausanne, Switzerland. While doing my EE studies, I balanced myself by being a developer for the DragonFly BSD Operating System; now that I’m doing Computer Science, I picked up electronics as a hobby. Besides being a member of our local hackerspace, I am a (inactive) HAM radio operator and I keep dismantling and hacking various electronic and mechanical items in my house. My latest venture is a cheap, compact and powerful microcontroller development platform, the MC HCK (http://mchck.org). Simon will be giving a talk on micro controller hacks Jacob Rosenthal, I’m a freelance embedded and erstwhile web and database developer. I’ve spent the last two years founding and educating at the Phoenix Arizona hackerspace HeatSync Labs where I am still on the board of directors. My personal interests include body computing and modification, 3d printing, and electronics. I am passionate about making the future practical. Jacob will be giving a talk on 3D implants! Recent changes at XinCheJian Membership is now Just 100rmb per month per member, for an additional 200rmb a month you can also store your projects/stuff in the space in a box that does not exceed 50x50x30cm, you can contribute more money if you want as a donation.
