Bricolab
The person
Lives in Tokyo and online, collects useless 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 who don't like spyware
- identity who/me?
- applied linguistics vigorously applied, as in sun tan lotion
- Japaneseおはわおばかです
- 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 Plato, watch yer back
- Brickmation Lego+Stop motion= Brickmation
- Children's culture and what adults do with 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. Wikiworld.
- 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.
