Nous avons eu la visite de Mme Diane De Courcy, responsable du Bureau de suivi de Je fais Montréal. Je fais Montréal traduit la volonté des acteurs du développement de la métropole qui se sont engagés à faire de la relance de Montréal une priorité collective. Concrètement, il s'agit de soutenir et de faciliter la réalisation [...]
Today I embarked upon learning the Arduino. I thought, should I do this? Will it take me down roads that will take me away from creative artworks. Speaking to other Arduino users in the Fablab, I soon realised that this tool can be used for rapid prototyping of interactive artworks. I want [...]
After the first three days, I used today to develop ideas for the final art-piece. In my artwork as some of you may know www.jamesabellart.com , I am interested in mixing fluid 'energy' lines with monolithic 'architectonic' forms. I want to make a sculptural form that expands on these ideas exploiting the technology available to me [...]
Day 5 is Friday. All over the world people get ready to enjoy the weekend. With this general ambience around the lab, I proceeded to develop the sculptural forms that were in my mind and on flat ideas sketches. This is where things come to life, where 2d becomes 3d in reality. Today was also [...]
Today, I managed to solder a 'Miniduino', an Arduino clone that I won over the weekend! Marc told me that makers can often save a lot of money by buying non-soldered kits, this is a good thing to remember as electrical soldering although takes some concentration is not rocket science so most people should be [...]
Visite de Marie Lemay, Sous-ministre et Présidente de l’Agence de développement économique du Canada pour les régions du Québec avec Damien Silès, directeur général du Quartier de l'innovation de Montréal.
Today was a short day at the Lab! However, often when we have less time, we get more done! For the final art-piece, I might want to add cloud form type sculptural elements to it. Watch this space to see it in development in the coming weeks! Use of a 3d printer to make large [...]
I am James, I am an artist here is my other work www.jamesabellart.com. I like to mix traditional techniques with new technologies. I am from Scotland and it is a great privilege and opportunity to be the artist in residence here at the EchoFab Fablab for the next few weeks. As with all creative work, [...]
Aujourd'hui, 9 février 2015, Simon, un nouvel utilisateur du lab, débute la deuxième étape de la construction de son pédalier pour amplificateur. Basé sur un schéma simple, il a converti une simple boite électrique en '' foot switch''. Simon à plusieurs autres projet tels : la fabrication d'une boite de son ainsi que la réparation [...]
Les Scouts ( collectif d'artistes) ont pris la décision, pour l'édition 2015 de leurs expositions annuelles, de faire leurs badges eux-mêmes, avec l'aide de la découpe laser. Les badges, inspiré de ceux des (vrai) scouts, ont leurs motifs brûlés et sont découpés sur place. https://www.facebook.com/scoutisforlovers
