the factory

spring 2010 I worked as a post-doc researcher at MEDEA/Malmö University together with then PhD student Anna Seravalli preparing the set up of one of three living labs in the area. We surveyed similar open lab DIY spaces, initiated collaborations and organised prototype workshops. The idea behind living lab Fabriken (“the factory”) was and is to give citizens, researchers, institutions and NGOs access to tools, knowledge and skills on an open source/sustainability basis.
