💬 📷 🛠️ [EN] Impressions from Make Munich 2017
As opposed to some certain other congresses, at an event in Munich the exhibition pieces are of course orderly labeled and consecutively numbered.
"The Builders and the Butchers" would indeed be the much more apt title for this fair, as here at the Zenith location usually concerts (mostly Metal) take place, which effected unintentional coherent poster combinations on the walls.
And there was even more music in it. The machines will take your job, even and especially when you're a violinist.
The alternative timeline with more steampunk was also present.
But on to the actual things, first and foremost the usual 3D printers were there.
And drones flying around as well of course.
I really don't know what is supposed to be so post-apocalyptic about this desk, quite normal I'd say.
There were also lots of talks and workshops. My emotional highlight was when the godfather of the scene, Mitch Altman, was given an "award" by one of the countless small membership clubs which do something with maker spaces, which was some tinkered thing with a bulb. Mitch said, he does not do all that because of awards, but simply because it's his passion. But he arguably was oblivious to how the scene actually came across: like when children have tinkered something for their (super-)dad and gave it to him in awe.
