Temporal Labortary / Gift Factory 10/3-10/8 Temporal Labortary / Gift Factory

The physical workshop is not the end of the event but the beginning! Since most of the participants are online and only five participants are in Taiwan, we want to transform this physical workshop into a "temporary laboratory" and a "gift factory". We will begin to produce and cultivate some materials that may be of interest to everyone and send them to remote participants in need. You can modify these materials or just do nothing with it, but we do look forward to receiving a small processed version in respond! This temporary laboratory/gift factory is also open to any proposals and cooperation invitation!
