0:00:00.540,0:00:01.540
this December

0:00:01.540,0:00:02.540
diplomats from around the world

0:00:02.540,0:00:03.890
meet once again

0:00:03.890,0:00:04.640
to sit

0:00:04.640,0:00:05.270
and talk

0:00:05.270,0:00:07.550
about climate change

0:00:07.550,0:00:10.660
But 20 years of UN climate summit and talkings

0:00:10.780,0:00:13.590
haven’t stopped CO2 levels from rising

0:00:13.830,0:00:15.890
Instead, global emissions have doubled

0:00:15.930,0:00:18.930
since the first since the first UN climate meeting in 1995

0:00:19.780,0:00:22.950
While our rainforests die and the Arctic ice melts

0:00:22.970,0:00:26.020
our politicians prepare for yet another talk

0:00:26.020,0:00:28.090
this December in Paris

0:00:28.750,0:00:30.610
So we came up with a different idea

0:00:31.660,0:00:33.530
We call it POC21

0:00:33.530,0:00:36.060
A proof of concept that the future we need

0:00:36.060,0:00:38.340
can be built with our own hands

0:01:02.550,0:01:04.379
POC21 brings together 12 sustainable,

0:01:04.379,0:01:07.050
open source hardware projects

0:01:12.010,0:01:13.950
for 5 weeks of colaboration,

0:01:13.950,0:01:16.470
co-living and development

0:01:21.490,0:01:23.690
to build the tools we need

0:01:23.690,0:01:25.730
for the world we want

0:01:32.290,0:01:34.190
We see a lot of potential

0:01:34.190,0:01:37.000
and creativity of innovators, 'makers'

0:01:37.240,0:01:39.940
who build sustainable products and solutions

0:01:40.360,0:01:44.450
but we think that right now they maybe lack some basic

0:01:45.190,0:01:47.180
design support, communication support,

0:01:47.180,0:01:48.580
tech support,

0:01:48.580,0:01:51.350
a different set of skills or tools

0:01:51.380,0:01:57.220
that can help bring them to the next level and possibly to scale.

0:01:57.500,0:01:59.530
12 developing projects were selected

0:01:59.530,0:02:01.660
to take part in POC21

0:02:01.670,0:02:05.100
each aims to combat or adapt to climate change -

0:02:05.150,0:02:08.020
with access to energy, food, livelihood or sanitation

0:02:08.020,0:02:11.020
all are open source - anyone can study, build upon

0:02:11.210,0:02:14.210
or help improve them, even you

0:02:17.310,0:02:19.900
Low-Cost 3D-printed Water Filter

0:03:17.000,0:03:18.200
WEEK ZERO: SETUP

0:03:18.200,0:03:20.480
50 team members, participants and volunteers

0:03:20.490,0:03:22.090
arrive early to help prepare the camp

0:03:24.930,0:03:27.020
We didn't know what we were getting into.

0:03:29.450,0:03:35.480
Now I can imagine how the settlers in the early ages felt when they were setting up a village.

0:03:39.240,0:03:41.830
In fact the Chateau is not used

0:03:41.830,0:03:45.150
so we cleaned everything we put electricity everywhere

0:03:45.790,0:03:47.960
we put smoke detectors in each room, mattresses everywhere…

0:03:50.850,0:03:54.390
Basically we are building a structure of 30 tents

0:03:55.250,0:03:57.340
It takes around half an hour if you’re used to doing it

0:03:57.350,0:04:00.270
At the beginning it was like 2 hours.

0:04:04.360,0:04:05.860
Don’t be fooled by my pants

0:04:05.910,0:04:07.450
I know what I’m doing

0:04:11.990,0:04:14.190
OK, my pants may be right then

0:04:20.190,0:04:23.500
It was a little bit crazy, everything had been brought from outside

0:04:25.350,0:04:29.310
which means wood to make the building for the kitchen and a small house for the showers

0:04:29.640,0:04:31.060
we brought all the cables, all the electricity from outside.

0:04:32.660,0:04:36.280
We brought also all the stuff for the kitchen : fridge, oven, etc…

0:04:40.730,0:04:41.700
Happy?

0:04:42.340,0:04:46.720
Yes, we still need some showers, some signage,

0:04:47.300,0:04:55.750
wifi, electricity, and some desks to work on.

0:04:56.510,0:04:59.260
It’s going well. Oh, and the kitchen too.

0:05:01.820,0:05:03.890
The setup week was really extreme

0:05:03.890,0:05:08.500
we had really a lot of things to do, we were running everywhere

0:05:08.500,0:05:12.500
the challenge was to get down, breathe,

0:05:12.660,0:05:18.630
and be comfortable with the people who were coming

0:05:18.630,0:05:20.880
because it was really stressful

0:05:20.880,0:05:25.250
and we didn’t want to give that kind of stress to the participants.

0:05:49.810,0:05:52.300
I had no idea what was awaiting me

0:05:52.330,0:05:54.700
it was something I've never done

0:05:55.050,0:06:00.270
it was like before the first day at school in my life.

0:06:12.420,0:06:14.050
it's pretty impressive, man!

0:06:24.400,0:06:26.870
so we will just do a short walk and show you the area.

0:06:43.980,0:06:47.320
actually, the idea for POC21 is the idea for Open State.

0:06:49.030,0:06:51.160
The starting point for Open State

0:06:51.160,0:06:54.880
which is the Berlin part of the POC team

0:06:54.880,0:06:58.120
was with two friends and colleagues,

0:06:58.120,0:07:00.560
Dominik and Simon.

0:07:00.660,0:07:03.720
At some point we met on the River Spree in Berlin

0:07:03.770,0:07:07.290
and thought about what is actually the impact we can have

0:07:07.300,0:07:10.300
on that topic of climate change and sustainability

0:07:10.350,0:07:12.670
in this way too short lifetime.

0:07:13.100,0:07:15.480
The climate crisis is kind of like

0:07:15.480,0:07:18.480
this tsunami that you see on the horizon

0:07:19.140,0:07:23.030
You're still kind of laying at the beach, enjoying your drinks

0:07:23.210,0:07:25.180
and you know it will come

0:07:25.180,0:07:27.420
and you feel paralyzed.

0:07:27.820,0:07:30.190
We always thought about

0:07:30.190,0:07:33.310
creating social situations which would be midterm

0:07:33.310,0:07:35.140
like some weeks at least.

0:07:35.350,0:07:38.720
More than just hackathons, conferences, or workshops

0:07:39.120,0:07:40.120
Enable people to join forces

0:07:40.120,0:07:42.420
bring together different cultural backgrounds

0:07:42.420,0:07:45.040
different perspectives, experiences, and skill sets.

0:07:45.040,0:07:46.170
But the problem was always

0:07:46.170,0:07:48.750
you need a space for that

0:07:48.750,0:07:52.200
and you just need a huge team that can actually do it.

0:07:59.460,0:08:01.680
Ouishare was built as a collective

0:08:01.680,0:08:05.510
to bring together entrepreneurs, researchers

0:08:05.510,0:08:07.250
people generally interested in

0:08:07.250,0:08:09.460
peer-to-peer and the collaborative economy

0:08:09.460,0:08:11.270
we do events, we do research

0:08:11.270,0:08:13.920
we try to foster collective thinking

0:08:13.920,0:08:15.830
and incubate new projects

0:08:15.830,0:08:17.350
around the the collaborative economy,

0:08:17.350,0:08:18.200
open source,

0:08:18.200,0:08:19.580
and peer-to-peer in general

0:08:19.690,0:08:22.500
since the first OuiShare Fest in 2013

0:08:22.500,0:08:25.110
Ben & I have been working on

0:08:25.110,0:08:27.790
the subject of Making and Distributed Manufacturing

0:08:27.790,0:08:28.930
Hello everybody,

0:08:28.930,0:08:31.400
thanks Ben for the kind introduction,

0:08:31.590,0:08:32.340
At some point

0:08:32.340,0:08:34.700
Dominik was invited as one of the speakers

0:08:34.700,0:08:37.919
and the two stories fusioned together

0:08:40.549,0:08:42.830
When I read the website about POC21

0:08:42.830,0:08:45.190
I thought it was like a dream come true

0:08:45.190,0:08:46.770
because everything that I like

0:08:46.770,0:08:50.280
and that I value about life,

0:08:50.280,0:08:52.720
like sustainability, making,

0:08:52.720,0:08:54.480
co-living,

0:08:54.480,0:08:57.040
and cooperating with other people

0:08:57.040,0:08:59.430
It was a like a dream come true.

0:08:59.540,0:09:03.110
I see huge value in bringing together

0:09:03.110,0:09:08.030
the open source and tech mindset

0:09:08.590,0:09:11.660
with the iteration of processes and

0:09:11.660,0:09:14.100
the more socially-focused group work, community-building aspect

0:09:14.100,0:09:15.370
and I think when you bring those two together

0:09:15.370,0:09:16.620
they have different value sets

0:09:16.620,0:09:17.860
but they really interact well when they come together.

0:09:17.860,0:09:19.880
Trying out many new things

0:09:19.880,0:09:22.790
but also giving processes some time

0:09:22.790,0:09:25.250
and letting people learn about

0:09:25.250,0:09:28.360
interaction and communities.

0:09:28.360,0:09:29.550
When we started

0:09:29.550,0:09:31.590
we came into a camp

0:09:31.590,0:09:34.400
that is about developing 12 projects.

0:09:34.400,0:09:37.220
What I personally didn't think about

0:09:37.340,0:09:39.760
is that it requires a lot of people

0:09:39.760,0:09:41.050
to do it

0:09:41.050,0:09:42.490
It's a small village

0:09:43.230,0:09:44.440
and a small village

0:09:44.440,0:09:46.250
requires a lot of organization

0:09:49.460,0:09:51.020
We are more than 100 people

0:09:51.020,0:09:53.550
living together during more than 5 weeks,

0:09:53.550,0:09:56.410
so we need to attribute tasks

0:09:56.410,0:10:00.170
and everyone has to take their part to work on it

0:10:00.170,0:10:01.840
so there are different tasks

0:10:01.840,0:10:02.870
like toilet care,

0:10:02.870,0:10:04.150
kitchen clean,

0:10:04.150,0:10:05.240
cooking heroes,

0:10:05.240,0:10:06.310
garbage crew,

0:10:06.310,0:10:07.580
and night guardians

0:10:07.670,0:10:10.090
Basically with this co-living stuff

0:10:10.090,0:10:13.370
we are sure that we can live all together in a proper way

0:10:25.230,0:10:27.580
people from the logistics team

0:10:27.580,0:10:29.630
are sitting until 1 or 2 in the morning

0:10:29.630,0:10:32.330
taking care of the travel, accommodations,

0:10:32.330,0:10:34.370
somehow running the whole thing

0:10:34.370,0:10:37.650
there are people that buy supplies

0:10:37.650,0:10:39.850
and all having the thought in mind

0:10:39.850,0:10:41.670
that it should be sustainable, it should be local.

0:10:42.280,0:10:43.580
so, sustainability requires

0:10:43.580,0:10:46.050
a lot of logistics

0:10:46.510,0:10:48.170
this is the organic compost

0:10:48.170,0:10:49.540
just for food waste

0:10:50.220,0:10:52.140
so everything that we don't give to the chickens

0:10:52.140,0:10:53.620
goes in here

0:10:53.620,0:10:57.390
and it's made from palettes

0:10:59.170,0:11:00.540
and re-used cardboard

0:11:00.540,0:11:02.340
dry toilets are a good solution

0:11:03.000,0:11:05.940
because they don’t use water at all

0:11:05.940,0:11:07.480
Generally toilets use 9L

0:11:07.480,0:11:09.310
every time we flush,

0:11:09.310,0:11:12.840
and that’s drinking water.

0:11:12.840,0:11:15.270
many people were not really aware

0:11:15.270,0:11:16.870
of how it works

0:11:16.870,0:11:18.550
and it’s a very...

0:11:18.730,0:11:21.940
personal thing

0:11:22.440,0:11:25.030
and they had to get used to it

0:11:25.030,0:11:27.660
We were a bit scared of the reactions

0:11:27.660,0:11:30.200
but there was no other solutions

0:11:32.240,0:11:34.180
and it went quite well

0:11:34.180,0:11:35.410
We have a lot of wood

0:11:35.410,0:11:37.880
and leftovers from different building operations

0:11:37.880,0:11:38.740
and we keep them

0:11:38.740,0:11:39.870
to use them for furniture

0:11:39.870,0:11:41.890
and for construction

0:11:41.890,0:11:44.640
We have mainly vegetarian meals,

0:11:44.640,0:11:46.740
we try to reduce meat as much as possible

0:11:46.740,0:11:50.060
because meat is responsible for a lot of carbon emissions

0:11:50.060,0:11:52.700
We want to be as coherent as we can

0:11:52.700,0:11:55.700
while respecting people’s habits at the same time

0:11:55.700,0:12:01.500
We have vegetables and fruits, from local and organic places

0:12:01.560,0:12:02.600
we went to pick them up

0:12:02.600,0:12:04.020
on Sundays

0:12:04.320,0:12:06.660
we go to pick up some fruit at the farm

0:12:06.930,0:12:08.730
which is 10-15 km from here.

0:12:25.570,0:12:28.310
WEEK ONE: Participants meet with designers & engineers to discuss their projects

0:12:34.190,0:12:36.390
The first week was there for shaking them up,

0:12:36.390,0:12:37.650
saying,

0:12:37.650,0:12:38.950
"Hey, nice project but

0:12:38.950,0:12:41.600
we are not here to develop that like it is

0:12:41.600,0:12:43.470
because then you could just do that at home

0:12:43.470,0:12:45.180
so we have all kinds of skills sets

0:12:45.180,0:12:46.750
and interesting people to mingle with

0:12:46.750,0:12:49.330
and to rethink what you're actually doing."

0:12:49.880,0:12:51.040
it's interesting how

0:12:51.040,0:12:54.900
each project is at a different stage of development

0:12:54.900,0:12:58.710
some of them, they have to still work very hard

0:12:58.710,0:13:00.470
on making sure they are answering the right questions

0:13:00.470,0:13:03.060
because their initial assumptions

0:13:03.230,0:13:05.720
may start from the wrong point

0:13:08.290,0:13:10.160
there are some projects in which you say

0:13:10.160,0:13:11.160
OK,

0:13:11.630,0:13:13.590
you just have to think about

0:13:13.590,0:13:15.240
how to take it to the world

0:13:15.240,0:13:16.550
it’s done

0:13:16.550,0:13:17.550
it’s a great idea,

0:13:17.550,0:13:19.660
a great working prototype,

0:13:19.660,0:13:20.660
even in some cases

0:13:20.660,0:13:22.880
it’s a product that's commercialized

0:13:23.130,0:13:24.030
in other cases

0:13:24.030,0:13:25.530
you think OK, this is totally wrong,

0:13:25.530,0:13:28.410
this product shouldn’t exist in the world

0:13:28.410,0:13:29.510
but,

0:13:29.510,0:13:31.110
your design principles are great.

0:13:37.420,0:13:39.540
I'm part of the Nautile project

0:13:39.550,0:13:42.550
which is a bio-inspired kettle

0:13:42.550,0:13:45.550
that is a test case project for methodology

0:13:45.550,0:13:47.000
showing how we can

0:13:47.000,0:13:50.760
systematically redesign products from everyday life

0:13:50.760,0:13:52.540
with bio inspiration

0:13:52.540,0:13:54.070
to make them more sustainable

0:13:54.190,0:13:55.500
what we have now is a model

0:13:55.500,0:13:56.760
it's an hypothesis

0:13:56.760,0:13:58.420
we need to make it real

0:13:58.420,0:14:01.940
we had a discussion with Tomas Diez from FabLab Barcelona

0:14:01.940,0:14:05.990
on the feasibility of 3D printing the kettle in ceramics

0:14:05.990,0:14:07.230
at a reasonable price,

0:14:07.230,0:14:08.730
which is not the case

0:14:08.820,0:14:11.360
In the end we kind of agree on the fact that

0:14:11.360,0:14:15.660
the design we boiled down from many principles

0:14:16.000,0:14:18.790
was not the right one for what we want to do

0:14:19.010,0:14:20.860
what we have to do now

0:14:20.860,0:14:24.370
is really re-prioritize all our objectives

0:14:24.370,0:14:28.450
and get back to a new realistic product

0:14:28.450,0:14:30.400
we can then detail design,

0:14:30.400,0:14:32.160
and produce over the next few weeks.

0:14:35.310,0:14:36.740
wWe are here at POC

0:14:36.740,0:14:40.530
developing open source open agriculture kits

0:14:40.530,0:14:42.310
that can be downloaded

0:14:42.310,0:14:45.160
and CNC routed - cut -

0:14:45.160,0:14:47.550
out of plywood or other sheet materials

0:14:48.320,0:14:50.700
and assembled really easily

0:14:50.840,0:14:53.160
some people like Simon said to me:

0:14:53.280,0:14:56.860
"I’m one of your potential customers,

0:14:56.860,0:14:58.300
and this is the reason

0:14:58.300,0:15:02.210
I’m not sold yet on what you’re doing."

0:15:02.210,0:15:05.030
because right now when I see myself as a customer,

0:15:05.030,0:15:06.750
it would still be a huge hassle

0:15:06.750,0:15:07.940
to download the files,

0:15:07.940,0:15:09.250
go to a FabLab,

0:15:09.250,0:15:10.330
CNC cut them,

0:15:10.330,0:15:11.270
get the pieces,

0:15:11.270,0:15:15.800
still then I have a very very simple raised bed

0:15:18.460,0:15:21.810
I'm kind of missing the added value

0:15:21.810,0:15:24.900
over just going to Castorama

0:15:24.900,0:15:26.520
buying 4 pieces of wood

0:15:26.520,0:15:28.120
putting it in my garden...

0:15:28.120,0:15:30.110
you know what I mean?

0:15:30.640,0:15:33.710
I'm just trying to help you, I really like the idea

0:15:34.530,0:15:36.220
the core of what you're doing

0:15:36.220,0:15:39.290
is the modularity, I think

0:15:39.730,0:15:42.730
that enables like a Lego system

0:15:42.730,0:15:44.500
I was confused for a bit about

0:15:44.500,0:15:47.070
"oh, does this mean we have to go back and redesign everything?"

0:15:47.070,0:15:49.220
and that was kind of a really ominous feeling

0:15:49.220,0:15:53.070
that made me actually feel really kind of nervous and scared

0:15:53.070,0:15:54.750
because we’ve done all this work

0:15:54.750,0:15:57.280
and do we have to now go back and redo it all?

0:15:57.290,0:15:59.910
And fortunately other people came along

0:15:59.910,0:16:01.470
and added on top of that, and were like

0:16:01.470,0:16:04.530
"just rethink certain elements of what you’re doing

0:16:04.720,0:16:07.130
and bring them to the next iteration,

0:16:07.130,0:16:08.060
the next line,

0:16:08.060,0:16:10.830
the next development cycle you go into."

0:16:10.890,0:16:12.300
The difficulty that you’re facing,

0:16:12.300,0:16:14.350
like in any other project,

0:16:14.350,0:16:17.560
is to be both open

0:16:17.560,0:16:18.960
to listen to advice,

0:16:18.960,0:16:21.170
new ideas

0:16:21.170,0:16:24.040
suggestions, discussions

0:16:24.040,0:16:26.360
to have that ability to listen

0:16:26.360,0:16:28.210
and at the same time

0:16:28.210,0:16:31.200
to have the ability to know what you’re going to do

0:16:31.200,0:16:35.620
and to be firm on realizing things

0:16:35.620,0:16:38.070
it’s a kind of schizophrenic ability

0:16:38.990,0:16:42.430
MAKING POC21 ACCESSIBLE: Opening up the camp

0:16:52.470,0:16:54.740
I think it's important we frame this for the public

0:16:54.740,0:16:57.340
just to reach out to these other groups of society

0:16:57.340,0:17:00.880
so it's easier for other people to just have access

0:17:00.880,0:17:03.100
because open source is one thing

0:17:03.100,0:17:06.450
but as long as it's closed into engineering circles

0:17:06.450,0:17:08.990
and super expert circles

0:17:08.990,0:17:11.980
it will not take off

0:17:15.339,0:17:16.470
bonjour and hello!

0:17:16.470,0:17:19.280
I’m Zoe from the POC21 Live Magazine

0:17:19.280,0:17:22.390
we’re standing at the gates of Chateau Millemont

0:17:22.390,0:17:24.900
and I want to show you around

0:17:24.900,0:17:26.260
just follow me

0:17:30.620,0:17:32.380
we’re going to the lounge now

0:17:32.380,0:17:35.910
we all meet here, all generations, all people

0:17:35.910,0:17:39.050
this is like our big living room I would say

0:17:44.710,0:17:46.110
here in the back you can see the showers

0:17:46.110,0:17:48.550
in the beginning when the showers didn’t exist yet

0:17:48.550,0:17:50.440
we had those solar shower bags

0:17:50.440,0:17:51.530
they were lying in the sun

0:17:51.530,0:17:52.600
then you could hang it up

0:17:52.600,0:17:54.250
and have a shower in the nature

0:17:54.250,0:17:57.030
now we have real luxurious showers

0:17:57.960,0:17:59.650
can we come and film you?

0:18:01.640,0:18:03.450
this is Phillipp and Mercé

0:18:03.690,0:18:05.760
we're making a Caprese

0:18:06.690,0:18:09.540
it’s like a tomato production factory here

0:18:10.360,0:18:11.700
let’s go to the Factory

0:18:11.700,0:18:13.560
this is the place where all the magic happens

0:18:13.560,0:18:14.890
and where all the machines are

0:18:14.890,0:18:16.520
basically a classical FabLab.

0:18:27.740,0:18:29.640
FabLab stands for FABrication LABoratory

0:18:29.640,0:18:31.590
it’s a place where you can find

0:18:31.590,0:18:33.530
machines and people

0:18:33.530,0:18:35.670
that can help you make almost anything

0:18:35.670,0:18:36.750
there are tools

0:18:36.760,0:18:39.320
to bring manufacturing closer to the users

0:18:39.320,0:18:42.070
and bring back the knowledge of making things to people

0:18:42.180,0:18:44.890
which we lost a couple hundred years ago

0:18:44.890,0:18:46.540
with the massive industrialization

0:18:46.540,0:18:48.280
that we are living in today

0:18:48.280,0:18:50.200
it’s basically about empowering people

0:18:50.200,0:18:51.440
through technology

0:18:51.440,0:18:54.260
to affect reality, to change reality

0:18:55.560,0:18:57.380
the FabLab at POC21

0:18:57.380,0:19:00.140
looks like any other FabLab in the world

0:19:00.460,0:19:01.660
you can use a laser cutter

0:19:01.660,0:19:03.890
to cut textiles, wood in small pieces

0:19:03.890,0:19:05.760
to make smaller prototypes

0:19:05.760,0:19:07.830
or some parts of larger prototypes

0:19:07.830,0:19:10.720
you can find a large-scale milling machine

0:19:10.720,0:19:14.000
that can help you cut pieces of metal, wood

0:19:14.000,0:19:17.060
which you can make from furniture to entire houses

0:19:17.060,0:19:18.720
or large structures

0:19:23.850,0:19:25.200
a CNC machine

0:19:25.200,0:19:28.170
is a milling machine that can place itself

0:19:28.170,0:19:29.760
with computer-based code

0:19:29.760,0:19:31.620
you design something on your computer

0:19:31.620,0:19:33.100
then you go through a program

0:19:33.100,0:19:34.680
that will generate G-code

0:19:34.680,0:19:36.960
which commands the machine.

0:19:36.960,0:19:39.410
one of the cool tools we have here

0:19:39.410,0:19:41.090
is a 3D printer

0:19:41.400,0:19:44.050
it uses a material in an additive way

0:19:44.050,0:19:46.800
so rather than doing like a CNC machine which cuts out

0:19:46.800,0:19:48.700
a 3D printer builds up

0:19:48.960,0:19:49.960
what we’re looking at here

0:19:49.960,0:19:51.690
is just a 3D model

0:19:51.690,0:19:54.560
once that’s ready we put it on a SD card

0:19:54.560,0:19:55.670
and we put it in the machine

0:19:55.670,0:19:56.870
and it’s ready to go.

0:19:56.870,0:19:58.420
we have a cable of plastic

0:19:58.420,0:20:00.780
that we heat up until it melts

0:20:00.780,0:20:02.900
then the 3D printer lays it down

0:20:02.900,0:20:05.030
in layers on top of each other

0:20:05.220,0:20:07.400
if you can imagine an object

0:20:07.400,0:20:08.830
and it’s physically possible

0:20:08.830,0:20:10.790
you can definitely 3D print it.

0:20:11.140,0:20:16.290
the FabLab network is 557 FabLabs around the world

0:20:16.290,0:20:17.770
it’s not only places with machines

0:20:17.770,0:20:19.060
it’s about the people behind them,

0:20:19.060,0:20:21.080
the community that is exchanging knowledge

0:20:21.080,0:20:22.650
about the future of fabrication

0:20:22.870,0:20:24.150
and specifically,

0:20:24.150,0:20:26.870
about the future of digital fabrication

0:20:26.870,0:20:28.290
one of the keys of a FabLab

0:20:28.290,0:20:30.060
is to have common equipment

0:20:30.060,0:20:32.280
that allows the exchange of digital knowledge

0:20:32.280,0:20:33.650
around the world

0:20:33.650,0:20:34.790
so I can design something here

0:20:34.790,0:20:35.730
in Paris

0:20:35.730,0:20:37.670
and just upload the content

0:20:37.670,0:20:39.280
and then in Cape Town in South Africa

0:20:39.280,0:20:40.450
they can download it, adapt it,

0:20:40.450,0:20:42.300
and manufacture it with the same tools

0:20:42.400,0:20:45.010
that happens in terms of minutes, of seconds

0:20:45.070,0:20:48.660
Week 2: Supporters & Mentors help the projects to refine their concepts

0:20:53.040,0:20:54.750
Not a lot of people think

0:20:54.750,0:20:58.290
from the very physical, technological principles

0:20:58.290,0:20:59.900
towards the end product

0:20:59.900,0:21:02.420
The strength of this format

0:21:02.420,0:21:04.390
is it brings a lot of people together

0:21:04.390,0:21:05.350
some are specialists,

0:21:05.350,0:21:06.650
some are generalists

0:21:06.650,0:21:07.930
and we try to enter with

0:21:07.930,0:21:11.070
all these different skills and abilities.

0:21:12.620,0:21:15.070
When we talk about sustainability

0:21:15.070,0:21:18.520
it's a way of thinking, of designing

0:21:18.520,0:21:21.690
it's not just about choosing the right material

0:21:21.690,0:21:25.450
I think my main role here is to help them

0:21:25.450,0:21:27.210
not just say 'this is the right material'

0:21:27.210,0:21:28.600
'use that or use this'

0:21:28.600,0:21:30.400
but to give them parameters

0:21:30.400,0:21:32.060
so they understand

0:21:32.060,0:21:36.000
the logic behind using one material or another

0:21:37.120,0:21:39.260
As we are project designers

0:21:39.260,0:21:43.660
we don't have any expertise in aquaponic

0:21:43.660,0:21:46.410
or kitchen or mechanical or anything like that

0:21:46.410,0:21:47.560
and this is why we are here:

0:21:47.560,0:21:50.590
to get people who know, really know.

0:21:50.760,0:21:53.610
I really talked with Bicitractor guys

0:21:53.610,0:21:55.260
and they did fly wheels

0:21:55.260,0:21:56.940
and mechanical stuff before

0:21:56.940,0:21:59.520
and so they said, okay you should do this and this

0:21:59.520,0:22:01.100
and then you can try that tomorrow

0:22:02.960,0:22:04.170
One guy from the TV channel,

0:22:04.170,0:22:07.010
how do you call that? -"Boom Operator"

0:22:07.010,0:22:08.710
The boom operator was looking at my drawings

0:22:08.710,0:22:10.770
and said, okay just a second

0:22:10.770,0:22:12.960
you should do this and this...

0:22:12.960,0:22:14.920
And even here it was constructive.

0:22:15.720,0:22:17.600
There is one phase in the project

0:22:17.600,0:22:19.970
that we need to be open

0:22:19.970,0:22:23.450
then after I think we need to be more closed to advices

0:22:23.450,0:22:25.650
because it's only five weeks

0:22:25.650,0:22:28.170
and it's very short so we have to go

0:22:28.270,0:22:29.900
at one moment we have to say, okay we do this

0:22:29.900,0:22:31.070
maybe it's not the best idea

0:22:31.070,0:22:32.290
but we do it

0:22:32.290,0:22:33.570
and we make it work.

0:22:33.610,0:22:35.710
We hope everything will work at the first try

0:22:35.710,0:22:37.690
but it will never happen

0:22:37.690,0:22:39.320
This is why there is one hundred people

0:22:39.320,0:22:40.270
to help you

0:22:40.270,0:22:43.160
to go fast and to re-do it again and again

0:22:43.160,0:22:45.210
within the five weeks,

0:22:45.210,0:22:46.910
but yeah that's my biggest fear

0:22:46.910,0:22:48.850
that the mechanical part, for example, won't work

0:22:48.850,0:22:50.710
or even the kitchen won't work

0:22:50.710,0:22:53.130
but it will work. it will work.

0:22:53.130,0:22:54.070
I hope so.

0:22:55.460,0:22:59.550
Some teams are in need of some engineering advice

0:22:59.550,0:23:02.460
and some teams are in need of design advice,

0:23:03.460,0:23:06.360
and some are just in need

0:23:06.520,0:23:08.360
of a haircut, right?

0:23:23.340,0:23:25.640
it's done?

0:23:26.210,0:23:27.780
how do you feel, Kim?

0:23:27.780,0:23:30.450
it's awesome. it's really good.

0:23:30.450,0:23:32.070
I am a fresh man now.

0:23:32.590,0:23:33.910
Open Source Documentation

0:23:33.910,0:23:35.770
A dedicated team helps the projects

0:23:35.770,0:23:37.800
to create manuals & tutorials

0:23:42.760,0:23:44.470
All of the projects being developed here

0:23:44.480,0:23:45.930
are open source,

0:23:45.930,0:23:49.610
and documentation is a very important aspect of open source

0:23:49.610,0:23:50.610
to diffuse the idea

0:23:50.610,0:23:53.400
and make it accessible to other people

0:23:53.610,0:23:56.690
the idea is to show how the product is built

0:23:56.690,0:23:57.690
step-by-step

0:23:57.690,0:23:59.420
and also to show

0:23:59.420,0:24:01.780
the process of decision-making inside a product

0:24:01.780,0:24:05.530
because sometimes you'll choose one material over another

0:24:05.530,0:24:07.430
and there's a reason for that

0:24:07.430,0:24:12.440
showing this allows the community who will develop it

0:24:12.440,0:24:14.610
to go a step further, knowing already

0:24:14.610,0:24:18.650
ok, this material isn't good for this project, and why not

0:24:19.520,0:24:21.760
in the open source method of collaboration,

0:24:21.760,0:24:24.470
many people work together, on projects

0:24:24.470,0:24:26.020
whose plans, code

0:24:26.020,0:24:28.840
or "recipes" are shared online.

0:24:28.840,0:24:30.640
people collaborate like this to build

0:24:30.640,0:24:31.820
open source cars,

0:24:31.820,0:24:33.200
3D printers,

0:24:33.200,0:24:34.650
and even houses.

0:24:34.650,0:24:36.820
These ideas can spread around the world

0:24:36.820,0:24:38.170
and evolve quickly

0:24:38.170,0:24:41.090
as different people adapt and improve them.

0:24:41.930,0:24:47.320
If you imagine applying this speed and efficiency

0:24:47.320,0:24:49.610
of development in research

0:24:49.610,0:24:51.860
to such an issue as climate change,

0:24:52.510,0:24:56.110
you see that in a situation where you have very limited time

0:24:56.110,0:24:57.470
and a big problem,

0:24:57.470,0:25:01.200
and you really need to have the biggest team you can,

0:25:01.200,0:25:05.980
open source is like just the easiest and the most sustainable way to go.

0:25:07.040,0:25:09.760
The project Faircap started with very simple idea,

0:25:09.760,0:25:12.070
and that was to make a tiny filter

0:25:12.070,0:25:13.920
that you can screw into a bottle,

0:25:13.920,0:25:15.850
and you can take water from a stream,

0:25:15.850,0:25:17.600
from a lake, from the tap

0:25:17.600,0:25:19.510
and just drink straight from it.

0:25:19.510,0:25:24.460
I think there's a big benefit from doing it open source.

0:25:24.460,0:25:26.650
The information is open

0:25:26.650,0:25:30.770
so that it's easier to understand how it works.

0:25:30.770,0:25:34.050
I think that's empowering people,

0:25:34.050,0:25:35.900
not just telling them,

0:25:35.900,0:25:37.580
"Yeah, this cleans water and that's it."

0:25:37.580,0:25:40.430
But, "This cleans water because we're using this,

0:25:40.430,0:25:42.490
and maybe in the future it's going to be improved".

0:25:42.490,0:25:45.980
The second aspect, I think, it's also an economic aspect,

0:25:45.980,0:25:51.450
because by sharing this online or with different designers,

0:25:51.450,0:25:53.130
a lot of people can collaborate

0:25:53.130,0:25:55.930
from the scientific point of view, from the design point of view,

0:25:55.930,0:25:57.830
to make it easier to use,

0:25:57.830,0:25:59.530
to make it low cost to produce.

0:26:00.850,0:26:03.070
It's not easy to talk about what you're doing

0:26:03.070,0:26:05.390
when you work in open source.

0:26:05.390,0:26:06.520
People don't understand,

0:26:06.520,0:26:08.970
people think it's, either they don't know what it is,

0:26:08.970,0:26:12.450
or they think it's some kind of

0:26:12.450,0:26:14.690
thing you can't make your living out of,

0:26:14.690,0:26:18.650
or it's maybe a hobby for some of us.

0:26:20.040,0:26:23.580
The things that are happening are being shared laterally through networks,

0:26:23.580,0:26:27.520
blogs, wikis, mostly online.

0:26:27.520,0:26:30.030
They go from community to community,

0:26:30.030,0:26:33.380
but there's still a mass audience out there that doesn't get that.

0:26:33.380,0:26:36.250
I think one of the reasons we don't see it

0:26:36.250,0:26:38.850
is because we are addicted to bigness:

0:26:38.850,0:26:42.560
big companies, multinationals,

0:26:42.560,0:26:45.710
and what's happening now is distribution.

0:26:45.710,0:26:49.240
It's lots of small projects coalescing together.

0:26:50.530,0:26:52.930
I think there's a lot more of us out there

0:26:52.930,0:26:54.760
than we know

0:26:54.760,0:26:56.010
if we can start connecting up

0:26:56.010,0:26:57.770
some of these networks and communities

0:26:57.770,0:27:01.020
who want to work in this quite new way

0:27:01.020,0:27:03.900
that's based in positive social values,

0:27:03.900,0:27:06.210
egalitarianism, entrepreneurialism,

0:27:06.210,0:27:08.630
autonomy, collaboration,

0:27:08.630,0:27:11.610
it's going to be super powerful and exciting

0:27:11.610,0:27:13.940
and I think the movement is already global

0:27:13.940,0:27:16.180
and we just need to find each other.

0:27:19.100,0:27:22.390
At POC21 the projects are super diverse.

0:27:22.390,0:27:24.430
They are all happening at different stages of development

0:27:24.430,0:27:26.420
but when I have gone and talked with them,

0:27:26.420,0:27:28.320
the thing that has been really interesting to me

0:27:28.320,0:27:30.170
is this combination of

0:27:30.170,0:27:32.290
I have this kernel of an idea

0:27:32.290,0:27:33.880
but what I really want

0:27:33.880,0:27:36.420
is for this broader community to build off of it.

0:27:36.550,0:27:38.410
SunZilla is designed to replace

0:27:38.410,0:27:40.440
conventional diesel generators

0:27:40.440,0:27:41.810
in remote areas

0:27:41.810,0:27:43.450
or outdoor events.

0:27:43.450,0:27:45.250
We want to be more modular,

0:27:45.260,0:27:48.280
so the battery is in a separate box

0:27:48.280,0:27:50.950
depending on your energy need,

0:27:50.950,0:27:53.490
you have a bigger box with more solar panels,

0:27:53.490,0:27:56.010
or a smaller box with less solar panels

0:27:56.010,0:27:59.460
One module we'd like to be developed

0:27:59.460,0:28:02.490
is a water purification module.

0:28:02.490,0:28:04.250
All the plans are open,

0:28:04.250,0:28:06.850
and you know exactly what you have to do

0:28:06.850,0:28:08.840
to make a module which fits to our system.

0:28:08.840,0:28:10.390
and you can even adapt the code

0:28:10.390,0:28:12.170
to make it perfect for your needs.

0:28:13.020,0:28:14.840
That is effectively a platform

0:28:14.840,0:28:17.380
for other people to innovate on top of

0:28:17.380,0:28:19.460
that’s really different

0:28:19.460,0:28:21.690
to how industry thinks most of the time

0:28:21.690,0:28:24.210
there’s a way of taking what they are doing

0:28:24.210,0:28:25.760
and saying okay,

0:28:25.760,0:28:27.980
we want to see this spread

0:28:27.980,0:28:33.260
and to see it spread we need to share our knowledge and share our insights

0:28:33.260,0:28:37.840
and encourage and invite other people to innovate with us.

0:28:37.840,0:28:39.570
When we close those models up

0:28:39.570,0:28:41.460
and we say 'oh, this is very protected' and everything

0:28:41.460,0:28:43.270
it means that it doesn't scale

0:28:43.270,0:28:45.680
but we are in a hurry, a serious hurry

0:28:45.680,0:28:50.140
we are in a life transforming hurry right now.

0:28:51.020,0:28:52.810
It's easy to think sustainability is

0:28:52.810,0:28:54.220
society's problem

0:28:54.220,0:28:55.520
or someone else's problem,

0:28:55.520,0:28:57.600
but actually it's sort of all of us,

0:28:57.600,0:28:59.420
what we do day-to-day.

0:28:59.420,0:29:03.230
We often think in terms of these 2050 or 2030 goals

0:29:03.500,0:29:05.430
and that actually puts the problem in the future

0:29:05.430,0:29:07.760
like, "we can keep living as we do now,

0:29:07.760,0:29:10.390
but by 2030 we'll have fixed it."

0:29:11.610,0:29:16.530
Actually it's not these 2030 goals that matter,

0:29:16.530,0:29:19.000
it's cumulative emissions.

0:29:19.000,0:29:23.100
In order to limit our chances of exceeding two degrees of warming,

0:29:23.100,0:29:27.320
we need to reduce our carbon emissions by 40% by 2018,

0:29:27.320,0:29:30.040
70% by 2025,

0:29:30.040,0:29:31.950
90% by 2030,

0:29:31.950,0:29:33.750
and 100% by 2035.

0:29:33.750,0:29:36.720
To reach that kind of de-carbonization

0:29:36.720,0:29:39.260
in the energy sector,

0:29:39.260,0:29:40.470
we obviously have to

0:29:40.470,0:29:42.490
ramp up renewable energy.

0:29:42.680,0:29:44.200
In the last six years,

0:29:44.200,0:29:46.200
solar capacity worldwide grew

0:29:46.200,0:29:49.080
from about 17 gigawatts to 177 gigawatts

0:29:49.080,0:29:50.400
and wind doubled

0:29:50.400,0:29:53.610
from 120 to 318 gigawatts

0:29:53.820,0:29:55.850
I’m interested in how do we connect

0:29:55.850,0:29:57.770
to this big picture, to the energy transition,

0:29:57.770,0:29:59.810
which is really what Open Energy Monitor is about,

0:29:59.810,0:30:02.170
showing you how much energy you’re using

0:30:02.170,0:30:06.300
and how much energy is coming from these different renewable energy sources.

0:30:07.090,0:30:09.350
Once I did an energy audit on lighting

0:30:09.350,0:30:10.470
it really surprised me, like

0:30:10.470,0:30:11.960
"Wow, that's a lot of energy"

0:30:11.960,0:30:13.990
and people leave the lights on all the time,

0:30:13.990,0:30:15.810
so it really impacted me

0:30:15.810,0:30:17.900
when I did that and I had the knowledge,

0:30:17.900,0:30:21.800
I go around now nowadays turning off the lights wherever.

0:30:22.190,0:30:24.090
Now, with the water, I have the same thing

0:30:24.090,0:30:25.060
like, again

0:30:25.060,0:30:26.520
"Wow! That's a lot of energy!"

0:30:26.520,0:30:29.860
like, you can't have a solar photovoltaic shower.

0:30:29.860,0:30:34.020
You'd need 10 square meters of solar panels to do it,

0:30:34.020,0:30:36.180
in real time

0:30:36.180,0:30:38.540
The other part is what often call

0:30:38.540,0:30:41.220
"power down" or "energy efficiency"

0:30:41.220,0:30:44.760
We can achieve huge reduction in energy demand,

0:30:45.000,0:30:47.640
almost 75% through

0:30:48.850,0:30:52.170
electrification of transport, of heating

0:30:52.640,0:30:55.440
and better insulation and draft-proofing in buildings.

0:30:56.200,0:30:59.370
This is tricky, but it's also very, very simple.

0:30:59.970,0:31:02.780
If we can decrease our consumption

0:31:03.070,0:31:06.070
but maintain our quality of life,

0:31:06.230,0:31:08.010
then that's a start

0:31:08.010,0:31:09.230
Everyone will say,

0:31:09.230,0:31:10.530
"oh, take shorter showers"

0:31:10.530,0:31:11.830
or "take cold showers"

0:31:11.830,0:31:12.650
but

0:31:12.880,0:31:14.270
I don't want to!

0:31:14.270,0:31:15.810
you know? I'm used to this.

0:31:15.810,0:31:17.190
and I've just made the tech

0:31:17.190,0:31:19.350
so it's possible to do that.

0:31:20.100,0:31:22.570
Here we have Showerloop, the prototype,

0:31:23.050,0:31:25.030
it’s basically just a shower

0:31:25.460,0:31:27.270
you can run in a loop.

0:31:27.520,0:31:29.590
You can use your hot water

0:31:29.590,0:31:32.150
that you already got from the outside

0:31:32.150,0:31:35.400
and cycle it as long as it stays hot

0:31:35.400,0:31:37.590
to save a lot of heat energy

0:31:37.590,0:31:39.640
that’s the awesome part of it -

0:31:39.640,0:31:40.640
we’re not just saving water,

0:31:40.640,0:31:42.800
it’s really about energy.

0:31:42.800,0:31:45.990
Water comes from the bottom, the pump,

0:31:46.200,0:31:49.170
gets pumped through the filter,

0:31:49.560,0:31:51.540
comes up through the showerhead,

0:31:51.540,0:31:53.850
and you can shower in a cycle.

0:31:53.850,0:31:56.950
Instead of a normal shower using 100 liters of water,

0:31:56.950,0:31:58.810
Showerloop only needs 10.

0:31:58.810,0:32:01.040
Maybe it can have a larger impact

0:32:01.040,0:32:03.120
by changing people's mentality

0:32:03.120,0:32:04.820
you'd take a shower like that in the morning,

0:32:04.820,0:32:06.680
and if you know how it works

0:32:06.680,0:32:08.520
maybe you start looking around, asking

0:32:08.520,0:32:13.030
"Hey, why doesn't that work the same way?"

0:32:16.860,0:32:18.750
We are here with different projects,

0:32:18.750,0:32:20.740
working around energy

0:32:20.740,0:32:23.520
or using energy

0:32:23.690,0:32:25.890
we don’t want to work on different islands

0:32:25.890,0:32:28.720
and just ignore each other

0:32:28.720,0:32:32.230
so here at POC we have the opportunity to work together

0:32:32.230,0:32:33.980
so let’s work together

0:32:33.980,0:32:37.910
and make one interconnected energy system

0:32:37.910,0:32:39.930
showing that we can be autonomous

0:32:39.930,0:32:42.980
with only renewable energy supply.

0:32:45.630,0:32:51.330
Week 3: from concepts to action

0:32:51.790,0:32:53.440
So, what should do first?

0:32:54.990,0:32:55.900
The exhibition.

0:32:55.900,0:32:56.580
yeah, OK,

0:32:56.580,0:32:58.450
let's talk about the exhibition

0:32:58.450,0:33:01.650
At the end of the camp, the castle grounds will be opened to the public for the POC21 exhibition

0:33:01.650,0:33:03.880
I can see several issues that we have to decide on

0:33:03.880,0:33:08.520
POC21 is the same as all the 12 projects

0:33:08.520,0:33:09.520
we should run through the process

0:33:09.520,0:33:12.150
that we try to get our projects through

0:33:12.150,0:33:14.250
what is our vision?

0:33:14.630,0:33:17.070
and how are we going to show our vision?

0:33:17.620,0:33:22.220
I think the overall atmosphere should be that it can be believed

0:33:22.220,0:33:24.660
as a 'proof of concept'

0:33:25.310,0:33:27.080
like an atmospheric puzzle

0:33:27.080,0:33:28.930
where when you leave, you understand

0:33:28.930,0:33:32.030
ok actually, there could be a whole lifestyle around this

0:33:32.030,0:33:34.990
I saw so many things, many of them not perfect

0:33:34.990,0:33:36.450
but from the feeling,

0:33:36.450,0:33:41.130
ok something's developing into a complete picture

0:33:42.190,0:33:45.970
I think the projects are making a lot of progress

0:33:46.690,0:33:51.010
right now, what we need to be careful about is to meet the schedule

0:33:51.840,0:33:54.930
and move from divergence

0:33:55.020,0:33:57.680
and a lot of new concepts for the projects

0:33:57.810,0:34:00.810
to converging into the final prototypes and the exhibition

0:34:00.810,0:34:05.410
it’s going to be the main focus and challenge for the remaining days.

0:34:08.250,0:34:11.730
People are really starting to get physical

0:34:12.010,0:34:14.560
so they come from out of their concepts and papers

0:34:14.560,0:34:16.719
and some people, like the Bicitractor guys,

0:34:16.719,0:34:18.440
you can hardly get them out of the Factory

0:34:18.440,0:34:22.030
because they’re welding and sawing, all the day

0:34:24.409,0:34:26.739
The Bicitractor is a tool

0:34:27.405,0:34:30.712
for small-to-medium fruit & vegetable producers

0:34:32.252,0:34:35.210
to perform small tasks

0:34:37.250,0:34:42.389
like weeding, hoeing, opening a line, or sowing seeds

0:34:44.370,0:34:48.159
We've spent two weeks working in the Factory

0:34:48.699,0:34:50.420
8, 10 hours a day

0:34:50.420,0:34:52.670
and that's what you see here

0:34:52.670,0:34:54.600
that's the main frame

0:34:54.600,0:34:56.760
this part here

0:34:56.760,0:34:58.500
the big rectangle

0:34:59.010,0:34:59.920
the seat

0:34:59.920,0:35:01.630
the pedalling station

0:35:01.630,0:35:03.130
and the transmission axis

0:35:03.130,0:35:05.210
we're working on the steering right now

0:35:05.400,0:35:08.670
I'm here with the $30 wind turbine project,

0:35:09.490,0:35:11.790
which is a vertical access turbine

0:35:11.790,0:35:13.810
that you can make for yourself

0:35:13.810,0:35:16.300
with basic tools and skills

0:35:16.300,0:35:18.920
using recycled materials

0:35:19.220,0:35:21.730
it basically puts the ability to generate power

0:35:21.730,0:35:23.250
in people's hands

0:35:23.250,0:35:24.600
and everyone needs it!

0:35:25.220,0:35:27.710
This is actually the first one I've made myself

0:35:27.710,0:35:32.470
since the first prototypes back in 2013

0:35:32.470,0:35:35.800
since then it's just been watching other people make them

0:35:35.800,0:35:37.040
in the workshops.

0:35:37.340,0:35:40.910
So these bottom three vanes were made by hand

0:35:41.180,0:35:43.750
in 3 and a half hours

0:35:43.890,0:35:46.260
these top ones were done by CNC machine,

0:35:46.260,0:35:50.610
the first ones to have been done with the machine

0:35:51.140,0:35:54.390
and they were printed in a couple of minutes each

0:35:54.560,0:35:57.240
and then assembled in 90 minutes.

0:35:57.480,0:35:59.780
So the full 6-vane version,

0:36:00.240,0:36:02.690
you could do the whole thing in 4 hours.

0:36:25.210,0:36:29.060
Instead of just collecting the sun like flat plate collectors

0:36:29.060,0:36:32.010
which produce warm water

0:36:32.010,0:36:34.040
domestic hot water for example

0:36:34.040,0:36:37.210
if we want to have energy at higher temperature

0:36:37.210,0:36:40.080
then you need to concentrate the light.

0:36:40.080,0:36:42.430
We use mirrors that reflect the light

0:36:42.430,0:36:43.880
on a pipe

0:36:43.880,0:36:45.010
in which water flows

0:36:45.010,0:36:47.020
transforming into steam

0:36:47.020,0:36:49.720
We can use the steam for the various uses

0:36:49.720,0:36:51.010
like food processing,

0:36:51.010,0:36:53.040
sterilizing, cooking.

0:36:53.810,0:36:57.480
The purpose of this electronics & software

0:36:58.270,0:37:00.950
is to keep the concentrated sun

0:37:00.950,0:37:03.070
on the main receptor

0:37:03.070,0:37:06.170
While the sun moves in the sky

0:37:06.170,0:37:09.570
the photosensor will give a signal to the Arduino board

0:37:09.770,0:37:13.010
to move every single mirror into position.

0:37:15.200,0:37:18.480
The Vélo M2 project is a multi-modular platform

0:37:18.480,0:37:19.830
where we use one bike

0:37:19.830,0:37:22.360
and we put different modules on it

0:37:22.360,0:37:25.040
It's to try new experiments

0:37:25.040,0:37:28.610
around renewable energy and bikes

0:37:28.610,0:37:30.110
in any environment.

0:37:30.320,0:37:35.730
Our energy module will be charged either by pedal power

0:37:36.060,0:37:39.710
or either with other renewable energy sources

0:37:39.710,0:37:43.080
so that we are totally independent of fossil fuel.

0:37:49.000,0:37:52.330
The bike has a free-wheel system

0:37:52.330,0:37:55.300
which prevents generaration of electricity

0:37:55.300,0:37:58.220
so Milena blocked the free-wheel system

0:37:59.010,0:38:02.440
now we pedal backwards and we generate electricity.

0:38:03.190,0:38:06.730
This is just a test, to see if everything could work

0:38:06.980,0:38:08.060
Let’s try it!

0:38:08.240,0:38:11.530
Can you see if everything is set as we did before?

0:38:11.530,0:38:12.250
Yeah

0:38:12.250,0:38:14.640
We are generating 0.05 amps...

0:38:15.180,0:38:16.500
Now it should work

0:38:16.500,0:38:17.660
Is this normal?

0:38:17.660,0:38:18.760
No...

0:38:19.430,0:38:20.900
probably not.

0:38:21.380,0:38:24.890
give it a couple of turns

0:38:24.890,0:38:27.960
yeah but it derails each time

0:38:27.960,0:38:28.740
yeah

0:38:32.100,0:38:36.270
This is one of the practical problems that are slowing us down.

0:38:36.730,0:38:39.520
Now that the electrical system is running

0:38:39.520,0:38:42.550
the mechanical system is not working anymore.

0:38:42.550,0:38:45.810
I think that we are totally fucking the derailleur….

0:38:48.620,0:38:52.880
We’re gonna go down to the construction side of the dome,

0:38:54.250,0:38:57.810
which is a wooden pavillion

0:38:57.810,0:38:59.370
with an inner tent

0:38:59.370,0:39:01.680
that will host the exhibition

0:39:01.680,0:39:04.730
for the 18th to the 20th of September.

0:39:12.860,0:39:16.450
The dome is a very lightweight structure

0:39:16.450,0:39:18.580
for the space it gives

0:39:19.120,0:39:24.080
it’s also one the major DIY structures that is done in the world

0:39:24.270,0:39:27.680
actually I guess it’s the biggest wooden dome in Europe

0:39:27.680,0:39:29.610
we thought a lot about

0:39:29.610,0:39:32.540
how to transfer everything that’s happened at POC

0:39:32.540,0:39:34.580
the ideas, what’s happened here,

0:39:34.580,0:39:37.140
and the collaborative process, into an exhibition

0:39:37.310,0:39:39.050
it’s rather complicated

0:39:39.050,0:39:42.050
to get that complex story across

0:39:42.050,0:39:46.490
to people that have never really heard of open source, co-living

0:39:46.490,0:39:48.490
or collaborative processes.

0:39:48.490,0:39:51.690
There's also the idea that

0:39:51.690,0:39:54.690
this is just an example for a better world

0:39:54.690,0:39:57.610
it's part of a whole ecosphere of open source projects

0:40:23.610,0:40:27.530
reinforcements arrive to help in the final sprint towards the exhibition

0:40:27.720,0:40:31.640
it's one thing when you see it from outside, on your computer

0:40:31.640,0:40:35.730
you can sense that there's a sort of chaos here

0:40:35.730,0:40:39.550
but when you arrive here, you really feel it

0:40:39.670,0:40:40.850
100 percent!

0:41:01.580,0:41:02.580
so we noticed that

0:41:02.580,0:41:05.030
being in such a busy work environment

0:41:05.030,0:41:10.280
sometimes it’s hard to find quiet and focus

0:41:10.280,0:41:13.370
the solution to this was to make a bunch of these crowns

0:41:13.370,0:41:16.290
the idea is that you can put one of these on,

0:41:16.290,0:41:20.550
and people know that you're trying to focus or want some quiet time alone

0:41:50.850,0:41:53.060
I guess we will have a floating exhibition!

0:41:57.360,0:42:00.470
We still need to build up the whole exhibition structure,

0:42:01.490,0:42:06.820
so that’s 80 cubes that we still need to assemble and stack

0:42:07.500,0:42:10.260
and we have to try and fit it in here.

0:42:13.210,0:42:16.270
the dome is actually smaller than we hoped

0:42:16.270,0:42:17.410
so we lost some space

0:42:17.410,0:42:19.030
and it’s already crowded

0:42:19.030,0:42:22.820
so the main task will be trying to fit it into the space

0:42:23.200,0:42:26.740
and as well finding a way that it all works out

0:42:26.740,0:42:30.720
even though we are like, one week behind

0:42:40.460,0:42:43.040
even though it seems like Mission Impossible,

0:42:43.040,0:42:44.070
I’m still optimistic

0:42:44.070,0:42:45.420
I don’t know why,

0:42:45.420,0:42:47.290
but I’m still smiling

0:42:47.290,0:42:49.650
and looking forward to the next phase.

0:43:02.160,0:43:05.750
Week 5: The final sprint

0:43:06.720,0:43:09.790
We plan to be ready in two days

0:43:13.770,0:43:18.090
It’s kind of the last stuff we have to do

0:43:18.450,0:43:19.850
in terms of construction

0:43:19.850,0:43:26.730
after that we have to bring the soil and humus etc

0:43:26.730,0:43:28.310
to make the beds,

0:43:28.310,0:43:31.110
but all the structure will be done.

0:43:35.580,0:43:38.300
This is the preservation module

0:43:38.900,0:43:43.110
it’s two ceramic pots with wet sand inside

0:43:43.790,0:43:47.120
the more heat you have in the room,

0:43:47.120,0:43:50.480
the colder it will be in the pot

0:43:50.480,0:43:52.400
so basically for an apartment,

0:43:52.400,0:43:55.590
you’re gonna have maybe 8-10 degrees.

0:43:55.590,0:43:59.320
It’s an alternative way to preserve fruits and vegetables.

0:43:59.320,0:44:01.370
It’s going super good.

0:44:01.370,0:44:03.430
We have the start of the bioponic system

0:44:03.690,0:44:09.060
and Valentin is working on the mechanical part

0:44:09.060,0:44:13.670
all the really heavy parts of the mechanical system

0:44:13.670,0:44:16.220
are already fixed.

0:44:16.220,0:44:18.470
and it’s only Monday!

0:44:18.470,0:44:19.720
unbelievable.

0:44:41.130,0:44:43.830
As everything is ramped up for the final exhibition,

0:44:43.850,0:44:45.790
everyone's in crunch phase,

0:44:45.790,0:44:48.850
there's a definite need for the community

0:44:48.850,0:44:50.380
to pull together -

0:44:50.380,0:44:52.830
really start getting everything taken care of

0:44:52.830,0:44:54.160
and working together.

0:45:04.340,0:45:06.940
I’m the intern here,

0:45:06.940,0:45:09.570
I'm learning how to use the drilling machine

0:45:09.570,0:45:11.530
and I have no idea how I’m doing!

0:45:11.530,0:45:13.210
he’s willing to learn,

0:45:14.850,0:45:16.230
he’s a good student!

0:45:31.630,0:45:35.660
So people will see your main profile board on this one

0:45:35.660,0:45:37.080
and your name up there -

0:45:37.080,0:45:38.310
and the bike will be here.

0:46:14.580,0:46:17.970
We're building a tower, basically.

0:46:17.970,0:46:19.560
Because the steel pole

0:46:19.560,0:46:21.750
which was meant to be holding the turbines

0:46:21.750,0:46:24.970
pretty much bent in half while we were trying to hoist the thing up.

0:46:25.000,0:46:26.730
So we're going a lot more robust,

0:46:26.730,0:46:28.800
which unfortunately means

0:46:28.800,0:46:30.200
doing it now, on the last night.

0:46:58.290,0:46:59.970
It's pretty late, now.

0:46:59.970,0:47:01.710
It's the second night

0:47:01.710,0:47:03.250
we're getting there.

0:47:03.680,0:47:06.480
We disassembled everything

0:47:06.480,0:47:08.700
and are reassembling the whole thing.

0:47:08.700,0:47:12.300
Every team has disassembled and reassembled their thing.

0:47:12.300,0:47:13.220
and what's your story?

0:47:13.220,0:47:15.470
why did we have to rebuild?

0:47:16.730,0:47:18.440
because...

0:47:18.440,0:47:19.820
I broke...

0:47:19.820,0:47:22.750
the door,

0:47:22.750,0:47:24.580
the wall, the back wall

0:47:24.580,0:47:26.710
where all the stuff was supposed to go

0:47:26.710,0:47:28.750
which was totally my fault

0:47:28.750,0:47:29.900
because I...

0:47:29.900,0:47:31.320
I drilled into glass...

0:47:31.320,0:47:33.130
and you can't drill into glass.

0:47:33.130,0:47:36.010
The best part is now we can choose the place

0:47:36.010,0:47:37.190
where we put our stuff

0:47:37.190,0:47:38.510
but it needs time,

0:47:38.510,0:47:41.020
and we don't have that much time!

0:48:27.430,0:48:28.950
We feel super tired.

0:48:30.130,0:48:32.000
But...

0:48:32.000,0:48:34.340
it's exciting, because we finished.

0:48:35.260,0:48:36.570
almost done.

0:48:37.160,0:48:38.700
The last three days..?

0:48:40.620,0:48:42.220
It was great!

0:48:42.220,0:48:43.770
getting something done

0:48:43.770,0:48:47.990
that was never expected to be done

0:48:47.990,0:48:50.900
But here we are, here it is, yay!

0:48:55.750,0:48:57.450
Yeah! We made it!

0:48:59.180,0:49:01.310
I also feel kind of proud

0:49:01.310,0:49:04.070
that we made it in such a short amount of time

0:49:05.130,0:49:07.460
it’s like - how do you say?

0:49:07.460,0:49:10.060
"made with a hot needle"

0:49:10.540,0:49:11.960
but I think it works.

0:49:12.240,0:49:14.950
2 minutes before the exhibiotn opening...

0:49:23.890,0:49:26.490
Welcome again, we're about to show you the exhibition

0:49:28.290,0:49:31.130
I’m excited that you’re here, that you're interested

0:49:31.130,0:49:32.660
and we can show you what we did

0:49:32.660,0:49:34.200
over the last weeks.

0:50:11.870,0:50:15.450
We already are 400 people this afternoon,

0:50:15.450,0:50:17.480
and 300 this morning

0:50:17.840,0:50:19.460
So many people came back and say

0:50:19.460,0:50:23.380
“it was super cool, I discovered lots of things.”

0:50:23.750,0:50:27.170
I really hope that the people who come here

0:50:27.170,0:50:30.060
and walk through the exhibition

0:50:30.060,0:50:34.910
really leave being curious about what happened here

0:50:34.910,0:50:37.460
and wanting to become part of this.

0:50:38.000,0:50:39.010
It's hard to predict

0:50:39.010,0:50:41.450
what exactly is going to come out of POC21

0:50:41.450,0:50:44.070
I know that the story has really gotten out there.

0:50:44.070,0:50:45.290
The media has been interested

0:50:45.290,0:50:47.050
and people outside have been interested.

0:50:47.050,0:50:49.450
This whole open source technology,

0:50:49.450,0:50:52.290
it can be a technical discussion

0:50:52.290,0:50:55.460
or people might not see its relationships with themselves.

0:50:55.460,0:51:00.600
I think it's been a way in for people to think about:

0:51:00.600,0:51:03.590
"How could we maybe develop products differently?

0:51:03.590,0:51:05.410
How can we collaborate differently?

0:51:05.410,0:51:07.300
Maybe it's not just companies.

0:51:07.300,0:51:10.370
Maybe it's more like movements, like networks"

0:51:10.690,0:51:13.570
I think this has been a great pathway in

0:51:13.570,0:51:16.350
for people to start thinking about these deeper issues.

0:51:21.905,0:51:24.025
to develop in open source

0:51:24.025,0:51:26.365
means to provide a base

0:51:26.365,0:51:28.705
so that it can grow more easily

0:51:28.705,0:51:30.035
you launch an idea

0:51:30.035,0:51:32.210
and people can adapt & replicate it

0:51:32.210,0:51:35.130
improve it and create new applications for it

0:51:35.210,0:51:39.360
For us, and I think for everybody that came here

0:51:39.360,0:51:42.560
the next stop is COP21

0:51:42.560,0:51:43.480
Then from there,

0:51:43.480,0:51:48.530
we will see if we really did communicate well,

0:51:48.530,0:51:54.090
if we did touch the public, and if we were taken seriously.

0:51:56.290,0:51:59.160
One of the things I mention in my own lectures

0:51:59.160,0:52:00.880
is the 'high road' and the 'low road'

0:52:00.880,0:52:06.340
The high road is: we convince the dominant system

0:52:06.340,0:52:09.820
to do some good things that reform itself

0:52:09.820,0:52:13.350
so that the transition will be smooth

0:52:13.830,0:52:15.150
if they don't do it...

0:52:15.150,0:52:17.440
the transition will be hard

0:52:17.440,0:52:20.230
but there will still be a transition

0:52:22.570,0:52:24.930
We look at history

0:52:24.930,0:52:26.650
It's not always easy

0:52:26.650,0:52:28.140
We see, at the end of the Roman Empire,

0:52:28.140,0:52:30.980
five centuries of chaos,

0:52:30.980,0:52:33.620
no cities, and no roads

0:52:33.620,0:52:34.820
if we do this today,

0:52:34.820,0:52:36.690
we will have billions of people dying

0:52:36.690,0:52:39.470
so I think is really

0:52:39.470,0:52:41.870
why POC21 is important

0:52:41.870,0:52:44.840
because it sends the message to the powers that says

0:52:46.450,0:52:47.590
"There's a solution here.

0:52:47.590,0:52:48.850
Help us.

0:52:49.010,0:52:50.550
If you don't help us,

0:52:50.890,0:52:52.890
it's going to be bad for everyone."

0:53:13.580,0:53:15.870
the wate will be filtered through the process

0:53:15.870,0:53:18.270
and go back clean to the fish tank

0:53:18.640,0:53:19.750
it is a closed circle

0:53:19.750,0:53:21.030
we use practically no water

0:53:21.030,0:53:24.030
the only water lost is through evaporation

0:53:27.740,0:53:29.360
here it should be understood

0:53:29.360,0:53:30.780
that this is about decentralization

0:53:31.140,0:53:32.865
for water, for energy,

0:53:32.865,0:53:34.595
for access to food

0:53:40.490,0:53:44.450
So right now, the SunZilla is powering

0:53:44.450,0:53:46.220
the outer circle of the exhibition

0:53:46.330,0:53:47.630
there are lights,

0:53:47.630,0:53:50.360
but there are also computers and monitors

0:53:50.360,0:53:53.020
and sometimes the velo m2 is charging their batteries

0:53:53.280,0:53:55.600
and there's a pump for the Showerloop.

0:53:56.280,0:53:58.010
So we're waiting for SolarOSE

0:53:58.010,0:53:59.040
to get off their butts

0:53:59.040,0:54:00.780
and make some hot water for me

0:54:00.780,0:54:02.670
that's all I've ever wanted!

0:54:02.670,0:54:05.770
a carbon neutral shower.

0:54:19.590,0:54:22.190
I always say that it's not for sale,

0:54:22.190,0:54:23.670
but we provide workshops so they can build it themselves.

0:54:23.670,0:54:27.140
Then we explain why,

0:54:27.140,0:54:29.810
because people have to build their own tools

0:54:30.010,0:54:31.010
and adapt it to their special needs

0:54:31.010,0:54:33.030
and then, they say

0:54:35.840,0:54:39.870
'yeah, you're right, go on, don't give up'.

0:54:39.870,0:54:41.960
POC21 was for me kind of a forced introspection,

0:54:43.090,0:54:45.350
that is very positive in a way,

0:54:45.350,0:54:48.260
I think it kind of liberated me

0:54:48.260,0:54:50.170
and made something more clear

0:54:50.170,0:54:52.550
than it was before I arrived

0:54:53.310,0:54:57.680
it was a very strong personal experience

0:54:57.680,0:54:59.960
And yeah, many links to maintain and nurture over the next few years.

0:55:02.540,0:55:06.580
I am hoping that this is going to strengthen me, and ...

0:55:09.160,0:55:12.410
I’m hoping I’ll be able to make this seed grow

0:55:12.410,0:55:15.150
and do something going back where I live

0:55:15.150,0:55:17.070
with people I’m around

0:55:18.070,0:55:19.670
Not necessarily reproduce it,

0:55:19.670,0:55:22.300
but take some from it and develop on it.

0:55:26.510,0:55:30.060
It was pretty exhausting

0:55:30.060,0:55:32.180
and very...

0:55:34.380,0:55:35.230
special

0:55:35.230,0:55:37.640
I never experienced something like this before.

0:55:37.640,0:55:39.720
For me it’s all about the community

0:55:39.720,0:55:42.070
meeting all these great people

0:55:42.070,0:55:46.710
having an understanding about how a community could work

0:55:47.660,0:55:50.080
practicing democracy,

0:55:50.080,0:55:52.750
practicing living together

0:55:55.470,0:55:59.480
For me... I want to free myself - and others

0:56:01.580,0:56:05.290
and here I got the courage to do it,

0:56:05.290,0:56:07.650
to really take the step and

0:56:09.230,0:56:10.560
do something

0:56:10.560,0:56:14.710
and not be afraid of not having so much money.

0:56:18.490,0:56:20.640
After a day like this,

0:56:20.640,0:56:24.510
you forget all the work

0:56:24.510,0:56:27.450
and the difficulties and the issues...

0:56:28.160,0:56:30.190
and I think,

0:56:30.190,0:56:33.970
there weren’t so many, in the end.

0:56:37.280,0:56:39.010
The last week was really exhausting,

0:56:39.010,0:56:40.010
I didn’t sleep so much,

0:56:40.010,0:56:41.810
but the last days

0:56:42.260,0:56:44.710
proved to me it was necessary

0:56:44.710,0:56:46.620
that it was really useful to do that,

0:56:46.620,0:56:48.410
to not sleep

0:56:48.840,0:56:51.500
The two days of exhibition,

0:56:51.500,0:56:52.970
I mean, it was perfect

0:56:52.970,0:56:55.030
we met so many nice people

0:56:56.440,0:56:58.790
and even if there was not words

0:56:58.790,0:57:00.230
just smiles and faces,

0:57:00.230,0:57:02.630
seeing our project and the other projects

0:57:02.630,0:57:03.660
People were like,

0:57:03.660,0:57:06.460
‘yes, another society is possible, this is possible’

0:57:06.460,0:57:09.630
'we’re happy to be here, we’re happy to see you’

0:57:09.630,0:57:12.770
and they said ‘thank you, thank you, thank you so much,’

0:57:12.770,0:57:13.960
and we were like

0:57:13.960,0:57:16.150
‘thanks for YOU to come and visit us!’

0:57:16.460,0:57:17.570
These two days,

0:57:18.060,0:57:20.230
I never felt like that before in my life.

0:57:20.360,0:57:21.760
I’m 25 years old,

0:57:21.760,0:57:24.140
I feel like I’m responsible for something,

0:57:24.140,0:57:26.100
I feel like I’m useful with my friends

0:57:26.100,0:57:28.140
and with the whole community of POC21

0:57:29.870,0:57:31.140
without being pretentious,

0:57:31.140,0:57:32.470
I think we can be proud of ourselves

0:57:32.470,0:57:35.170
and the last two days showed that

0:57:35.170,0:57:37.170
we are really, really, really happy.

0:57:49.140,0:57:54.220
Made with Free/Libre Open Source Software & built on Free Culture

0:58:35.190,0:58:36.390
is this for my Mom?

0:58:36.390,0:58:38.350
Hi Mom! how's it going?
