I find the idea of a medialab connected to a fixed place is a bit archaic, a bit dated. Personally, I don&#8217;t want to criticise other forms of practice in medialabs, but I&#8217;m very interested in transitory situations. I&#8217;m interested in creating multi-use areas that are quick and temporarily autonomous. In creating a transitory situation like &#8220;let&#8217;s do something quick, in on week&#8221;, you must not worry about the problem of being continuously eco-friendly or about long-term issues. For example, in the 80&#8217;s there were many initiatives, now they have stopped and they keep sucking up locations, money and oxygen. I&#8217;ve seen a lot of situations like these and they bore me, as well as being a complete waste. I believe that to create temporarily autonomous situations is more exciting. It&#8217;s a way to use the best elements of existing organisations, to take portions of them, configure them and make the next step&#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Derek Holzer, from <em>Sommercamp+Workstation.
