HackAndFab 2017 update

HackandFab started as a personal blog for Iker while he was trying to make a kind of “Fablab” on a shoestring budget. He gave several digital fabrication, programming and electronics workshops and taught artists how to use tech to make stuff. He had no clue about art itself and got an artist grant with Mar at Bilbaoarte. She had a background with hacktivists and a degree in art. They both liked robots and the blog was supposed to be used by both  of them but they were busy and  it was not. Then Mar created Filobotica. At the same time they were the cofounders together with other 6 people of BilbaoMakers (a Hackerspace/Makerspace in Bilbao) and after a while hackandfab was no longer used for 4 years. The domain was cancelled and not renewed sometime in 2015. At mid 2017 Iker bought it again and is being used for a small hackerspace near San Sebastian.

Probably no one is following this blog by now and it will be used as a notebook for a while.
