The club is open to all levels of computer expertise and experience to come together to imagine what a computer might be if it weren't a purely consumer product. If you're an expert or an amateur, we would like to invite you to join the Homemade Computer Club to communally make sense of what should be computed and how. As part of Varia's programme theme of Seasonal Computing, the Homemade Computer Club wants to look towards modes of computing as they are done within reason/season. Computing that is frugal, and computing that is communal. Through a series of meet-ups, presentations and mini-workshops, we will engage with unconventional computing methods that will help us imagine computing differently. + +During our first meet-up we'll begin with the question: What is a Computer? By examining the foundational components of a computer, we'll begin to examine basic functions and how the computer is conceptualised today. Through short workshops, we'll begin by looking at the building blocks of a computer. There is no knowledge or experience necessary for you to join the event + +We'll be joined by [vo ezn](https://ezn.leverburns.blue/) who will be responding to the theme of "What is a Computer" and give us an insight into their practice and methods for dealing with computation. + +**vo ezn** is a sound && infrastructure artist, working on server-side tensions & introverted interfaces ][ configurations grounded in personal experiences & {material} realities { labor conditions & server-person capacities }- +part of feminist server collectives/networks systerserver/ anarchaserver/ minadoraserver, and workshop coop hackers & designers. + +**Date**: Friday, 18th of October 2024 +**Time**: 15:00 CEST +**Duration**: +/- 3 hours +**Entrance**: Free, including coffee/tea +**Location**: Varia +**Seed**: Homebrewing +**Participation**: is limited, to join please send an email to info@varia.zone with [homemade computer club session 1] in the subject. + +This project is supported by the [Creative Industries Fund NL](https://www.stimuleringsfonds.nl/). + + \ No newline at end of file
