 But before that, I'll start with what I was doing in Paris. I was at a conference on something called Web Audio, which is something I work with. And I visited this place. The conference was held at this place called Center Pompidou. And next to Center Pompidou, there is this super crazy audio-slash-music-tech school called Ircam, but this is the building of Ircam. So the conference was in there. This is a really, really cool building. If you ever get to go, all their cool sort of sound recording studios and stuff is underground. So the first picture I showed you was I was standing here. And they have this super awesome room, which unfortunately is closed. I really wanted to go in there. But they have a ceiling, which can actually be lowered to this level. And they use that to change the acoustics of the room to be able to record different sounds. It's a really, really awesome place. It's really old as well, but so it's interesting to see some old technologies and how they're sort of trying to merge it with some modern computers and stuff like that. This was some of the recording rooms. So just like multitudes of loudspeakers everywhere for 3D sound and all the fun stuff. This was another cool room where it was designed like in the 80s, where there is panels that you could flip. And then based on how you flip it, the acoustics of the room changes. So it's not really about maker spaces, but I thought this was something cool that I saw that you guys would love to see. Yeah, more panels that it can flip and change the acoustics. So then I visited Le Loup, which is this. So actually, it's like three hacker spaces combined in a single building. Remember, it's black. Black. Black, right? Black is one. And then Le Loup. And then there is a. Yeah, I think it's just called black. There is a E circuit place. Yeah, yeah. So it's like three hacker spaces in Paris combined one building. And it's in this weird thing where they're not really supposed to be there. So it's a squat. So you have to know someone who has to open the door for you to be able to go in. So it's like really crazy. So if you ever want to visit that, by the way, just let us like let me as an Inua, we'll hook you up with someone who knows like someone there or is close now. So I'm guessing they'll find a new place at some point. And then yeah, but yeah, that was really cool. So this is like their lounge playroom. This is the guy who opened the door for me. It's kind of crazy. So first we were checking out the part which is the variable technology lab that they have, which is crazy. I forgot the name of the guy. He has a brand, I forgot his name. Yeah, also. Anyway, I can pull that up later. So he does all these crazy variable electronics things, including this, which is apparently like a liquid crystal like LCD that he printed, managed to print onto a cloth based like in whatever pattern you want. And then he activates it for it to shimmer in different ways. I got confused halfway through when I started talking about this stuff. It was like all those crazy wires and cables. So one of the problems with variables is wires fray a lot. So he had these really interesting wires. I had this one which is like inside plastic which you can bend and twist until cows come home but they won't break. This was more conductive fabric that he was showing me, patchwork. And they work with artists and dancers. And they put on dance performances where you'd have all these bleakialities and like for like proper, like, you know, legit people who do dance like for full-time, not just geek dance parties, right? Legit dance. Yeah, legit dance. Like, you know, full-time professional dancers. Performance art. Performance art, there you go. All sorts of old machines, it was crazy. Yeah, just tons of stuff. This was really cool. This was like, it was a touch. So this was basically the same thing that he was showing you, which was fabric with conductive ink. But the way he connected it up, you could actually sense where you were touching it. So it was more like a touch pad almost like on your computer. But then the cool thing was it could actually measure pressure as well. So it was like three-dimensional. So if you press really hard, it would actually detect that. And then he added these, it was just like, you know, out of the one material that is like, foam or velvet or something, like really simple things. And then the whole thing had like a tactile keyboard like feel to it. So you could like press, and then if you press hard, and it was really cool. And the whole thing was just, you know, wearable. So you could just stick that on your shirt or whatever. And this was, so this was upstairs. And it went down to like the main laloo space. And of course it had to have the famous picture. If you guys don't know, this is a really famous YouTuber. He talks about electronics a lot. And this is a very famous electronics sort of God. He wrote some famous books. And this is a famous photo of him. And this is a famous photo of him. This was the electronics workbench. So people talking earlier about not being sort of organized. Even the loop is pretty decently organized. Somebody was talking about, you were saying earlier, Cindy, that people are not really comfortable taking photos in her Christmas faces. So I didn't think because they were having a party. Yeah. So I asked around and I was told that I could take photos as long as it doesn't involve any people. So if you notice, except for the first one, none of the photos have people inside. So there's tons of equipment. Just, yeah, that's the one thing that laloo has is just a shit ton of stuff. Just like so much crap. Just tons, yeah. They have crypto parties. So this was laloo. And then I got really lucky. I ended up getting introduced to this guy on Twitter called Gorgor, super funny guy. He does a lot of workshops and stuff. He does a squad conf in Paris. And he took me to this place called the Fab Lab in Paris. This is in there. It's called the Citadel Industry Science. It's basically the city of industry and science. It's like a big museum on the outskirts of Paris. And they have a Fab Lab which has been around for a while. And it's really, really cool. So I went there with him. He took me around, showed me how things work. So it was really nice. They had a bunch of machines. And they were being sponsored by Dassault, I think. So they had some really fancy 3D printers inside. But to go into that room, you didn't like to do their workshop and have safety and stuff like that. So we didn't go there. But there's a bunch of equipment outside. And this is used for doing workshops for school kids. Or it's just like a normal membership Fab Lab as well. You just become a member and you get to use all this stuff. Sticker printer is super cool. It's actually one of the most, he was saying, it's one of the most used machine there is sticker printer. So people just print all sorts of crap, right? Yeah, they had electronics work benches, 3D printers, CNC mills, tons of equipment. This was the inside bit, which I took a photo. So this is like a very fancy, like the powder, I don't know what it's called, powder-based 3D printer where it's like the whole thing is a box of powder. And then they use laser to fuse it. I forgot what it's called. But apparently he was saying that the output of this is actually quite crap. And he personally prefers standard, like the ones that we use to make a filament-based make-about type. Yeah, they had Charlie Robot, which was like a CNC mill. Oh, this was really cool. This was a book scanner. So this is a book, right? So you sort of pull it out. It was sort of a semi-manual. You pull it up, and then there was a camera here, I think. And then we just take a photo. And it was manual, so it was just like a lever that pressed the bottom of the camera. So it was an old sort of digital camera, and they just like pull up, and then one photo, pull up. Oh, sorry, two cameras. One for each page. Take a photo. So they all built it, design built it there. And then all sorts of weird sculptures was made from old computers. Yeah, if you get French, this is exactly what the FabLab does. Otherwise, never mind. And then this was, yeah, this was like a spaceship. I couldn't get it really well. I made a keyboard, and I think it's like an old bowl or something. Oh, this? Start this thing. Yeah. Wow. I know, right? Crazy. And they had an ultimaker. This was really funny. Yes. The machine has no brain, so use yours. Yep, and this is what happened when you had a sticker printing machine. You had stickers, just tons of them. From France? Yeah, from France. I don't know. Yeah, this was my favorite sticker, by the way. Very, very French-ness. Yeah. Yeah, this is the one he was talking about. So he said he printed, was it this one? Yeah, these two, he printed them from that powdered-based 3D printer. And he said he had a lot of problems, because apparently, the way to do it is you print it out, but the whole thing is really crumbly. So you have to then dip the whole thing in some kind of a super glue. And then it's just like a mess. So he was not really happy with it. This was what they were using for calibration. So then the last thing I did in Paris was I hung out. So you hung out at 6 o'clock? Yeah, I hung out at this startup, which Cedric, if you guys know, needs to hang out in high-crash space for a while. So he works in this startup where they're making this really big table. And the idea is it detects what stuff it's on it, and it also touch screen. And they had a DJ in that night who was testing out how this table works as a musical instrument. So I just took a small video clip. So based on how he changes the stuff on it and how he twists them and moves them around, different things will happen, and different music will come out of it. So I'll skip that. So the next one was, sorry, I don't have titles for this, but it's kind of the cheap version of Reactable. Because the Reactable was really expensive. And this was less than $3,000, so it's really cheap. The next one, I was in Melbourne a couple of months ago for another conference. And I got to check out the high-crash space in Melbourne. A quick story there, I needed some equipment for the workshop I was doing at a conference. And I didn't know why I had to buy stuff in Melbourne. So I just randomly posted on their forums in the Melbourne high-crash space. And I got so much help. So if you guys ever need something in another place, just go check out their hacker space or maker spaces and just ask people for help. And most of the time, people are super nice. I had people buy me stuff and keep it in the maker space so I could go pick it up or the hacker space. I could go pick it up when I was there. It was really, really nice. So this was the Melbourne hacker space. It's called CHSS. I forgot the community hacker space, something, something. They have a bunch of tools as well. A lot of hardware stuff. They have small little kiosks we can buy food and drinks. Lots of 3D printers, of course. Tools. This is like personal boxes, containers. So it was an interesting story about these chips. Old ICs and apparently silicon companies that were sort of running out of business would just dump their stock at this place, and this place would just pick it up. They had old, old chips that you can rarely find these days, and of course, all the modern stuff. But they apparently were telling me that they get a lot of donated parts for electronics from things that are closing down, things that are wrapping up, or people have got extra than they have nothing to do with it. Is that a vast photo I got? Probably a do. Yeah, that's all I got.
