OpenLab 01

Some shots of the Open Lab @ PRIVATE PRACTICE, Johannesburg, Sept 6th. Wait for a movie to be edited to see what you've missed... Watch this space...

Rodrigo Almeida's Gorilla light (Brasil)	What was first: the chicken or the egg?
Amanda Laird Cherry	Incubator
Haldane Martin's Zulu Mama.	Haldane Martin 's Fiela Feather Light : an amazing ostrich feather light.
Inflated cardboard bags as Eco_lounge seats. I saw this once in Barcelona at the CMYK event. Inflatabale bags, normally used to prevent cargo in ships and trucks from moving. People liked it a lot!	I'd like to invite illustrators to paint their vision on Eco research and a better world on those bags. That will make a special collection of sit objects. And content for the next Ad!dict book. Interested? Mail jan@addictlab.com
Baily egg holder. For your information, the evening started with a full tray.	Badges made by ad!dict addict Marike Hechter. Without whom the Open Lab would have neither been Open nor a Lab. Thanks, Marike.

	A synthesizer using bottles of coke filled with water. In the seat is a computer translating the sound you make by hitting the bottles with a spoon into your choice of instrument. Amazing stuff from WITS.
Vincent Urbain. Another Belgian guy living & working in South Africa. He uses left overs to create superb bracelets, wallets & more.	More? We'll add the painted bags here, a movie, and more.	Idriz Jossa (Be). His Anti Aids Candle / bowling pin reflects our vulnerability. When thinking about the brand of South Africa, this is an important piece.
