Bricolab

The person

Lives in Tokyo and online, collects questionable qualifications and advertising tissues and has worked as a toilet cleaner, university lecturer, bookseller, teacher, gardener and a host of other wonder professions.

I am interested in, far from exclusively, and in no particularly order:

media audience research Who/we/see/do
web studies Click/click
constructionist learning Do/think
The DIY ethic Bodge it, bash it out, pass it on
Participatory culture The audience is dead. Long live the participator.
open source Information wants to be FREE
Psychogeography Meandering through ambience storms in the megopolis
situationism Under the paving stones, the beach
apple Computers for people like pretty things but don't like spyware
identity Who/me?
applied linguistics Language vigorously applied, as in sun tan lotion
Japaneseおれはおばかです
stop motion Click and move
Umezu Children. Scissors. Ouch.
Suehiro Maruo Deco monstrosities
Aya Takano Pop girls in bubble space
Shunga Naughty comics from ancient Japan
Ukiyo-e The floating world
collage Cut, paste, comment
mobile technologies Connect, transform
Foucault The Kojak of philosophy
Deleuze Virtually here
Brickmation Lego+Stop motion= Brickmation
Children's culture and adults uses of it
ludology Play theory
antiessentialism Dissolving borders

The project

Bricolab is an amalgamated word. It is even more compacted than the foodstuffs in Elvis's colon. If we explode it, in the manner of a naughty terrorist, or a UN smart bomb, we find the following words come running for cover:

Bricolage - Grab, slap together, marvel at the new combination.
Brick - Click, clunk, the lego revolution.
Collaboration - Open source being. Forging connections. Wiki world.
Laboratory - Experimentation in the playground of identity.

As a staunch constructionist I leave the rest to your imagination. For now.

Bricolab is coming to a website near you. Soon.
