A documentary film by Jack Oatmon.
A look into the hardware hacking community in Montreal, including the Foulab collective. Why are more and more hobbyists experimenting with hacks and circuit bends? What relationship does this imply about consumer society and technological advancement? Is this a real-world analog of ‘user generated content’?

I have this idea that Interaction Design is not very present or recognized in Montreal (my hometown). It is not really true to be honest, I think it’s there and alive somehow, but not called Interaction Design. It’s fun and refreshing to see things like this popping up from back home too. I just wish this was happening 5 years ago. Home sweet home.
PS. Péa, you should check the group out this summer when you go back home.
