AZLabs @ O Espaço do Tempo
After many days of work, stress and fun, we seem to have managed to pull through 10 projects to showcase at O Espaço do Tempo! The exhibition opened yesterday, 12th July at Convento da Saudação and will remain in exhibit until the end of the month. We also have a mini-site with bios of the [...]
AZLabs @ O Espaço Do Tempo (0day -2)

Mauricio is back with some news from Interactivos to lend us a hand on pending projects. Mónica and Pedro are still working on B-wind!. Margarida working on [...]
AZ Residency Day 13 – We were never gone
You thought we we’re dead. But the nerds in black were never gone. AZ Residency at Espaço Tempo has resumed it’s course on the 14th July 2010, and we’ve been kicking it real with some hardcore project dev for a whole week now! Our main aim is to get all of these projects kicking and [...]
AZ Residency Follow up – Filipe Pais
I arrived to Residência AZ with a very simple project in mind called Bloop. This project explores the idea of “enfo” – unnecessary/useless information and information overload on the web, looking particularly to social networks. Fishes don’t speak, but they communicate between themselves. For humans, this is an invisible process which is at the moment [...]
AZ Residency Day 7 – We’ll Be Back
Yesterday’s late night hacking session managed to deliver some results. Baco’s Mechanism was complete and so, to celebrate, refreshments were in order, plus waking up to join the party anyone who was already asleep. The troublemakers delivered a personalized rendition of the classic, also previously abused for remixes, Vitor Espadinha “Recordar é Viver”. Today was [...]
AZ Residency Day 6 – Vitor Espadinha Si Teh Luv
Day 6 started pretty late. At 10 o clock we had a mini makerbot workshop to replace a broken extruder piece, but most folks were still asleep from staying up till late working on the Piano Cocktail, so only Catarina and Guilherme managed to attend and fix the broken piece. Late arrivers João, Vitor and [...]
AZ Residency Day 5 – Mistos de Porco Preto Reprise
Yesterday’s dinner didn’t go so well. We went to pick up a few doses of “Mistos de Porco Preto” (means something like Mix of Dark Pig in English) at this local restaurant which we had scouted on Tuesday as serving pretty well. But we had an unfortunate surprise, they under-served us half our dosage. So [...]
AZ Residency Day 4 – Routine Strike
Today we haven’t done anything at all. Nah, just kidding. We seem to have grown well adjusted to our new home, the days are almost routine and the nights grown more social, everyone seems to be so tired that work on projects after dinner doesn’t quite work out as imagined. New ideas for projects still [...]
AZ Residency Day 3 – Ideas Are Like Rabbits On Spring
The breakfast table side projects meeting seems to have jetlagged slightly to lunch hour. Cold water morning shower is truly revitalizing but i wouldn’t want an encore tomorow! Despite the early shock some folks clearly fueled with their sleep deprivation managed to come up with a few other project ideas to add to our pool. [...]
AZ Residency Day 2 – Nothing Like The Fresh Smell of Vinegar Early In The Morning
Day started with a small queue to access the showers and a breakfast table side projects meeting. Today’s plan for world domination involved: – Connecting OSCulattor with Pachube – Tracking fish in the fish tank – Cooking bioplastic sample experiments – Twitter bot with processing and/or javascript – Taking apart old keyboards – Planning a [...]
