Checking out the Fablab with Eliot Duran
For all those for whom the term “FabLab” only vaguely rings a bell: FabLabs - short for fabrication laboratories - are public workshops where you can come and make things with all kinds of techniques and computer-controlled machines. Think laser cutters and 3D printers, for example. FabLabs are also communities where, in addition to the machines, makers share ideas and experiences with each other. For artist Eliot Duran, the FabLab was a discovery that brought his artistic work into its fold. We meet him at iMAL's FabLab in Brussels where he will give an introductory session on laser cutting at our media arts festival Div.fuse on December 5.

Artificial intelligence in the work of Kasper Jordaens
The speed at which artificial intelligence is claiming an increasing role in technology and - often unknowingly - in our daily lives is unprecedented. AI and technology therefore raises many practical, social and ethical questions. For Kasper Jordaens, this search for the role of technology and the merging of man and machine forms the core of his work. He describes himself as an artist-researcher. We talked to him about how he looks at AI and what role it plays in his work.
