“makers” in Berlin hacked public space Makerplatz.

A week ago various “makers” from around Moritzplatz in Berlin Kreuzberg 
hacked the public space surrounding them and celebrated Makerplatz. 
During two days dozens of micro events and performances took place 
between different locations in the area. To capture the decentralised 
nature of Makerplatz, to document and to give orientation while things 
are happening throughout the day, performer Brina Stinehelfer inspired a 
live internet broadcast performance.

Following the everyone-is-a-publisher spirit of the early internet days 
a DIY set-up was quickly cooked up using available technology: A 
smartphone with a free live-streaming app, the app’s website repeating 
and archiving the streams and the Makerplatz website to announce 
content. Done. The videos were played live on a battery-powered mobile 
info point and projected in the Betahaus café. All what was needed now 
was Brina to walk around and report live. See the 83 videos she took at 
qik.com/makerplatz.
