July 25th 2PM: Schmelzolan Robots with Christian Faubel, Cordula
Körber, and Ralf Schreiber

Singing and moving solar robots in combination with Schmelzolan.

In this workshop the traditional (German?) 70s housewife "schmelzolan"
handicraft technique is mixed with DIY analogue electronic and
soldering.

You can build a little autonomous analogue sound device or a minimal
analogues solar robot and seal them in molten schmelzolan plastic
forms. Ornamental singing plastic discs for window applications or
kitschy kinetic objects (for windowsills or ohp's) can be
created. Electronic know-how is not required and all self builded
creatures can be taken home.
