ZER01 in collaboration with xClinic and Pachube.com posted an open call for proposals to create environmental health projects and lifestyle experiments that make use of Pachube. The selected proposal, Beat Your Mouse Movement by Kitchen Budapest, will be featured as part of the Out of the Garage, Into the World program at the 2010 01SJ Biennial.

The core of the weekend meeting will be a series of workshops presenting the creative possibilities in using new digital technologies. From our part Gabor Papp holds a Fluxus workshop and Melinda Sipos will talk about KIBU and medialabs in general.

András Szalai and Melinda Sipos of KIBU will join Recycle X and are invited to develop a workshop on-site.'Scratch that Itch' will take place in the KIBU Space, where you can sit, browse and interact with a selection of KIBU projects and products.

We're really proud to spread the world that many KIBU researchers got accepted to prestigious art&technology courses around the world. Congratulations!

This morning KIBU SZALONNA (i.e. bacon) has been launched. This is a monthly event with occasionally three lecturers who speak about a topic they are good at. Szalonna starts with a common breakfast and followed by 20 minutes long presentation and discussion. After a testing period we would like to open it for the public.
