Huge Co-creation project in FabLab-Spinderihallerne – are you joining?

 

Soon, Spinderihallerne will have its own data-cloud – and you can join by helping us build it! The Cloud consists of hundreds of floating micro-boards, equipped with thousands of LEDs, all connected with myriads of Ethernet cables and its own server. In its final form, The Cloud will take up a space of 7 x 5 meters, floating 4 meters above the ground.

The Cloud is both a technical and an artistic installation, created by artist and interaction designer Jacob Remin – and you? Part of the installation is ready, but we still need to assemble a major part of the boards, put them together in modules and finally mount them on steel frames before it will finally be “on air”.

We therefor call for all co-creators in Vejle and surroundings, who would like to be part of this new interactive art-tech installation. We will be building in February 21st – 25th. Monday and Wednesday from 10-18, and Tuesday and Thursday from 12 – 20. 

We’ll ensure a steady supply of sandwiches, coffee and cake and all co-creators will have their names engraved on a permanent board accompanying the installation.

Artist Jacob Remin and a couple of instructors will be present to show how to assemble the micro-boards. 

Send an email to Eva at EVSHA@vejle.dk if you'd like to join.

Locumskoncerter – a musical hike at Engelsholm

February 23rd

 
The Locums concerts combines’ music and a special space and adds light and sound to the darkness of winter.
 
The music is Danish and the places are unusual – the idea is that the locations (locum is Latin for place) will attract an audience who normally would not come for the music and that the music will attract people to places they normally would not go.
 
This year the locum concerts in Vejle are at Engelsholm, giving the audience an exceptional chance to move around the castle in beautiful surroundings while experiencing music and art.
