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.

We tested Newsleak project today on different spots in Budapest. It was funny to see how people interacted with the object.

We participate in Campus Party Europe in Madrid, an event which hosts 800 young people from across Europe. The four-days event includes activities such as conferences, workshops and challenges centered around three knowledge areas: Science, Digital Creativity and Innovation.

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