Last year during RDW, Modulab has opened its door for the first time at the starting up of the Future Farden - the only DIY space in Romania dedicated to exploring and disseminating technology with a creative approach. Most of Modulab projects draw their roots in the socio-cultural phenomena, philosophical and artistic investigations that set the context for the new tech trends, but are based on direct experimentation. This year, for the 21st of May event, Modulab is opening the black box of the lab together with our visitors, watching an outdoor video projection with the making process of the lab, followed by freestyle geek talking with our guests. Some of the installations and experiments they have recently developed, less exhibited for the Bucharest public, are also going to be on display for the event. The relaxed and homey atmosphere to which our visitors are already familiarized is going to set the baseline of the evening.
