Recycle X project with patchingzone in 2010

In January 2010 patchingzone.nl will start a new project entitled Recycle X in the city of Dordrecht (South Holland). I will be joining a group of media/technology practitioners and work on a series of intervention projects and workshops until the end of summer 2010. It will be a great opportunity to work hands on materials, developing skills and engaging with local community.
