xCenter: xMobil – introductory hackathon

We invite you to participate in a short introductory hackathon, where we will face the first challenges of developing the xMobile prototype. These challenges will be defined at the event, as related to the trailer platform as such, its modular structure, embedded systems, its research and event (entertainment) use.

In its first year of operation, the xMobil project will develop a working prototype of a solar-powered investigative art module in the form of a car trailer that enhances creativity and innovation in remote locations. This modular piece will oer durable but aordable equipment for AV production and playback (DJ, VJ, video, + VR / AR), and is also designed to support research in art-science-technology projects, including natural science research, field sociology and visual anthropology. The project aims to develop social and technological innovation for remote, rural and natural locations that do not have electricity supply and access to such equipment.

The cooperation is intended for (not only) young people (from 16 years onwards) who are interested in planning, soldering, designing, welding, programming, animation, video & audio production and would like to hack around on a creative team on Fridays. After the hackathon, selected participants will be invited to participate in the core project team, which will meet weekly until June 2022. The wider group will remain open to all stakeholders and talents, innovators and creators!
