It was a very valuable experience at the EchoFab FabLab. Here is a Youtube Video about the important things that I learned. I hope that this might help other people who are looking use this FabLab or others for creative projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTUvcqnXYdo
Journée d'atelier de sensibilisation aux carrières scientifiques et techniques avec les jeunes du Centre jeunesse de Montréal - Institut universitaire avec l'appui de SAP Canada - Merci à notre équipe d'animation : Phonesavanh Thongsouksanoumane, Stéphanie Castonguay, Raphaël Demers et Marc-Olivier Ducharme
It is time the final piece should be taking shape. The last few days, I worked on the sketches I made in day 9. I combined some of the elements from different rapid sketches. I composited this and then took it to the laser printer to get etched and cut. This will be the edge [...]
Dans le but de démontrer les technologies disponibles en Fab Lab ainsi que d'exacerber le talent des divers facilitateurs qui vous ont aidé , guider ou accueilli au lab cet hiver, ÉchoFab a participé à l’événement Montréal Creative organisé par MassivArt à l'espace ArtTV de la place des arts. Ce faisant, une réalisation conjointe de [...]
Today, I got the ant and bee prints to a level that I was happy with. I have also printed out a 'net' pattern of the final structure to test the shape over the weekend. I am also going to try to use it as a test to add Arduino interactive elements. Today, I really [...]
Today was a day to spend away from the workshop. I wanted to get inspiration for the 'fluid' composition that will be etched onto the perspex element of the final artwork using the laser cutter. As the fluid lines are to evoke the movement in the city, I decided to spend some time walking around [...]
Nous avons accueilli une délégation d'étudiantes et d'étudiants du Business school de l'Université Coventry (Angleterre) en visite avec l'Université McGill dans le Quartier de l'innovation de Montréal.
Today a development video. Some photos of the shapes and lights I am playing with. In the video you see the form that I have evolved. For me, evolving a form is only finished when the art-piece is over. I have developed the overall shape I want in 3ds Max as in the video but [...]

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 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 [...]
