Jack Oatmon – Repurpose. A Film About Circuit Bending

I just saw this on boingboing and had to put it up, as it reminded me of SuperForester Chris’ excellent circuit bending post…

Repurpose is…

“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’?”

So these cats started a group that shares a space, tools, and knowledge to make cool new swag out of old useless swag.

Tastycakes!

Nice going, Jack Oatmon!
