Right! I was in Copenhagen and I had to see this for myself:
The Illutron
It’s a collaborative art / maker space studio on a ship. Well, OK, it is sort of an old cable laying barge, a floating hacker platform, a rusting work of watery art, but very unique. From Copenhagen Central Station take Bus 40 toward Refshaleoen then walk a bit north and ask where the hippies live out on a barge.
Very Ship Like
With plenty of booty just lying about; aft ye might find woodworking tools and perhaps ye olde X-Y cutting table midships. Electronics projects be lyin in the hold.
But wait, there’s more
Above deck is a LP twin cannon that can shoot 20 foot diameter donuts of fire and an LED display for those seeking the ship at night (perhaps when the donut machine ain’t working). Included in the more than 8000 Sq.Ft. of space one might find a conference room and a party deck.
Lots of junk, but it’s all good junk
In one corner sits an ABB industrial robot and in another some sort of left-over controller for the cable rigging (so I was told) and aft on the port side a white cylinder resembling an orgasmatron (ref: Woody Alan’s Sleeper ) . Looking out the hatch in the direction west one might see ‘Den Lille Havfrue’ i.e., The Little Mermaid statue, that is if you had a telescope or an extremely powerful telephoto lens.
Lots of things to play with…
They said that they recently moved the barge to its present location so it’s a bit messy. They also mentioned they had an art installation at Burning Man. Burning Man! Like in the Nevada Black Rock desert, US of A? Wow! These guys are good.
