The Internet is a creative factory. An idea,... a few clicks...and your product is finished - provided you know how it works.

All kinds of materials from cardboard to acrylic glass, electronic parts and digitally operated manufacturing equipment are nowadays available any time and knowledge is generated in open source networks.

But the most important thing are the people who creatively and untiringly try things out and combine them anew. Only then something new, unique and useful comes into being.

Create. Art and Technology brings together these different people. Nov 4 - 6 2011, artists, hackers and designers, producers, tinkerers and engineers meet in Berlin.

By means of presentations and workshops basic and expert knowledge will be imparted: How to code a microcontroller? What can a beginner create with Arduino? How to process a certain kind of material? Insiders will present fascinating projects from the first idea till implementation, chemists will explain how certain substances impact the environment. Experts will give tips on material procurement. Artists will present new electronic instruments.

Create. Art and Technology gives answers to your questions and inspires new solutions. People with different backgrounds will discover they have a great deal in common concerning their projects and will discuss various approaches. We are the factory!
