True to the motto “From deconstruction to construction”, the creative laboratory tinkertank takes festival visitors on an artistic and technological journey of discovery. Interactive modules will be built from electronic waste, old toys and everyday objects as part of a chain reaction machine.
The big moment comes on the last day: On Sunday, 08.09. at 11:00 the chain reaction machine is set in motion.
We shall forge an interactive art installation that shows what can be created when everyone works together. And what a big impact a small impulse can have!
