Cocook Dublin
By Íñigo Cornago and Claudia Sánchez. Collaborators: Luis Cornago, César A. García, Daithí O'Reilly, Elaine Kavanagh, Ivan Twohig.
Cocook is a collaborative global movement that involves cooking and eating in urban public spaces. It involves the design and construction of the devices needed for a cocook event such as portable kitchens and urban furniture. Improve our knowledge around co-design, self construction, open cooking and how to document it in order to be useful for future initiatives. Carry out a cocook event working with the relationships between existing local networks that can connect with cocook and benefit each other by sharing members and knowledge. Start a webpage to open the cocook as a global replicable practice.

Thank you for Recycling
By Martina Kalogjera. Collaborators: Joaquín Rodríguez, Reza Safavi, Javier Villarroel, Evangelos Kapros, Charlotte Barrois de Sarigny.
This project aims at bringing attention to the recycling habits by hacking existing trashs bins. We found an old abandoned bin that was present on streets of Dublin many years ago and is not in use any more. Then we converted it into recycling bin with a touch of technology. We have sensor that is measuring amount of recycled material in the bin and sensors that are reacting when someone approaches the bin. The bin is interacting with people when recycling and at night time it shows visualization of the information collected by sensor.
