Repurpose

Uploaded by jackoatmontreal on May 7, 2009
A documentary film by Tom Smith (AKA Jack Oatmon http://twitter.com/jackoatmon ).
A look into the hardware hacking community in Montreal, including the Foulab collective. Why are more and more hobbyists experimenting with hacks and circuit bends? What relationship does this imply about consumer society and technological advancement? Is this a real-world analog of 'user generated content'?
Check out the lab: http://foulab.org/

Why do everyone have a beard?
spilloholiker 2 years ago 2
For the same reason that they order pineapple cheese pizzas with extra pineapples and extra cheese to their meetings (true story). They're nerds!
God bless those nerds and their beards and unusual topping choices and wacky, innovative ideas!
