Crafting and Hacking: Separated at Birth (25c3)
from Chaos Computer Club - 25C3: nothing to hide (ogg) · host Kellbot
What do hackers have in common with crafters? Lots. While crafting is more often about string and glue than bits and electrons, crafters often feel the same need to create things and manipulate materials into something new. The roots of computing are intertwined with craft around the invention of the Jaquard punchcard loom. We'll look at where the two scenes have gone since then, and what we can gain by reconnecting the hacker world with its softer, more decorative cousin. about this event: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2008/Fahrplan/events/2777.en.html
