10 years ago the Finnish #demoscene organized the first #DIY #fablab #hacklab festival in Finland

choosing local slang for the name rather than aligning with English names or corporations (e.g. Silicon Valley's Maker Media)

organized appropriately enough in a large culture centre that was formerly a factory - #postindustrial

DIY craft hobbyists met hackers met educators met librarians

WÄRK:fest, Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki
21-24 October 2012
