REmake Festival Berlin

Festival REmake je festival kreativnih intervencija koje ukljucuje uvodjenje reciklaze, ekologije, upcycling-a u kreativne procese. Zajedno sa berlinskim PLATOON Kunsthalle, ekipa iz REmake-a je napravila jedan jako zanimljiv projekat koji je ukljucivao radionice, muzicki program, prezentacije i slicno. Tokom naseg boravka u Berlinu, imali smo prilike da se upoznamo i saradjujemo sa kreativcima iz celog sveta i to je zaista bilo jedno divno iskustvo. Tijana i ja, u ime naseg studija Kriska, smo se predstavile sa malim betosnkim vazama, koje je vrlo lako napraviti, sto im je mozda i najveca car. Mi smo, tokom cetiri dana festivala odrzale radionicu gde su posetioci festivala mogli da naprave svoju vazu, koju bi potom mogli da ponesu kuci. U kombinaciji sa betonom, koristili smo staklene flasice, koje smo potom farbali u odredjene boje.

REmake Festival is a festival of creative interventions which included combination of recycling, ecology, 

up cycling and creative processes. Festival was organized by Remake crew and Platoon Kunsthalle

from Berlin. Our studio Krishka was also a participant and we were making a small concrete vases, but

also we were having an open workshop, so anybody could make their own vase. It was a really fun

time for us and also, we had a very educational time there. Beside creative interventions, there was also 

a music program, lectures, workshops, great food from local restaurants and many more. 

 

Gospodin sa slike nas je razmazio sa divnom hranom koju je pripremao cesto na licu mesta, ili je donosio iz njegovog obliznjeg restorana. U ponudi su bili sjajni burgeri sa povrcem, savresene istocnjacke salate, veganski burgeri, kuskus i mnogo toga jos. I dalje mi curi voda na usta kad se samo setim. // This gentleman cooked for us during the festival, and I'm absolutely in love with his food. You could buy an excellent burgers with amazing salads, couscous, veggie burgers and more. I'm drooling every time I remember this lovely food. 

Marchello je, recimo, glava festivala. Sve sto moze da ti zatreba, da se odgovori na neko pitanje, da se pronadje odgovarajuci alat za posao i slicno, on je tu. E, sad, stvar je u tome sto ga je tesko uhvatiti tokom dana, jer je prosto zauzet konstantno a i verujem da covek nekad jednostavno zeli da se skloni od guzve. Ovaj natpis stoji u kancelariji Platoon-a i bio mi je jako zabavan :) // Machello is a gentleman who is in charge for everything. What ever you need, he knows where or how to get it. That's why it was so hard to find him during the day, since everybody wants to ask something. I found this sign very amusing :)

Ovaj momak, Onyx Ashanti, nas je mozda najvise odusevio i zaintrigirao. I dalje nisam sigurna sta se sve desava u njegovoj glavi i kako funkcionisu njegovi izumi, ali je svakako ostavio najjaci dojam, bar na mene. Ovo sto vidite u njegovim rukama i na glavi, su takoreci samonapravljeni instrumenti (recimo?!) i napravljeni su uz pomoc 3D stampaca. E sad, glavna fora sa tim je sto on, koliko sam shvatila, putem podataka koji cirkulisu na internetu pokrece ove spravice i pravi zvuk, tj. muziku. Ludo burazeru, znam. Naravno, ima tu jos puno zanimljivih podataka, sama njegova filozofija zivota je prilicno intrigantna, stoga vam preporucujem da jos malo istrazite. // Onyx Ashanti was maybe one of my favorite participants on the festival. I'm still not so sure how everything works, but what you see on his head and hands are little gadgets made with 3D printers. He uses data from the internet to provide a sound through them. There was an excellent performance after his lecture. He had amazing visual backups and music he was, let say producing, was absolutely thrilling. You should definitely check more about his work.

Ono sto je meni isto zanimljivo je sam prostor. Platoon Kunsthalle je napravljen od ogromnih, transportnih kontejnera, dok je skoro ceo inventar sastavljen od gajbica. To je sve konstruisano vrlo pametno tako da ceo prostor odise jako prijatnom atmosferom. Pored Studija Krishka, neki od ucesnika su Bosso Fataka, FabLab, Earthship Biotecture, Uros Pajovic, BetahausMakerlab, TrafoPop i mnogi drugi. Bilo je vrlo prijatno raditi sa ljudima i imale smo jako dobar odziv na nasoj radionici. Ljudima je ocigledno vrlo zabavno bilo da mesaju malter i prave svoje vaze, a tome je sigurno doprinelo i sjajno vreme. Par dana pre festivala smo svi bili u nenormalnoj guzvi, dok je sam festival tekao vrlo opusteno i prijatno. Bar za nas. Sigurno je tu bilo ljudi koji su se i dalje ubijali od posla, dok smo mi ipak imali vremena za opustanje. Nisam mnogo ispratila muzicki program koji se odvijao u kasnijim vecernjim satima, jer smo ipak zeleli da se malo pomerimo sa mesta. Takodje, bilo je jako interesantno raditi u nekoj drugoj zemlji sa gomilom stranaca. Sve te kulturoloske razlike su doprinele da sam rad bude jako uzbudljiv uz ucenje mnogih zanimljivih stvari i to mi je mozda jedna od stvari koje mi nedostaju ovde u Beogradu. Sreca pa i kod nas ima puno kreativnih i pametnih ljudi sa kojima mozes da saradjujes, pa se to da koliko toliko anulirati. Sve u svemu, jedno jako divno iskustvo i nadam se da cemo imati prilike da uskoro radimo na jos nekom slicnom projektu.

The interesting thing about Platoon Kunsthalle is also the building itself. It was made of huge containers and almost 

all inventory is made of plastic beer crates. It was built very smartly without any necessary details and it has a wonderful 

atmosphere. Some of the other participants were Bosso Fataka, Fab Lab, Earthship Biotecture, Uros Pajovic, BetaHaus 

MakerLab, TrafoPop and many more. It was very nice working with other people and I think our workshop went quite well.

I guess people found interesting mixing concrete and water, making their own vases. I didn't saw much of the music program, 

because we wanted to visit some other places. Anyway, it was really fun participating in this festival, and I would like to

thank all those good people who helped this festival be such a wonderful experience for me.
