Maker Premier, Seoul, Korea

지난 10월 25일, 제가 번역한 Maker 다큐멘터리 스크리닝 행사를 국내에서는 처음으로 열었습니다. 용산에 있는 저의 작업실 옥상에 음식과 의자, 스크린과 프로젝터를 세팅했는데 저도 사실 옥상에서 뭘 잘 안하는지라 보이는 아름다운 서울의 풍경과 야경에 새삼 놀랐습니다. 오신 분들도 하나같이 풍경에 감탄을... 와중에 1층 방앗간에서 열심히 깨를 볶아 고소한 포그머신의 효과도 있었고 또한 재작년부터 만들고싶었던 하이네켄 난로를 만들 수 있어서 좋았습니다!

주요 메이커분들과, 정부와 기업의 메이커와 관련있는 분들을 초대하여 진행했는데 예상보다 많은 분들이 와서 몇몇 분들은 서서 관람을 하셔야 했습니다. 초대받은 분들이 거의 다 오신 경우는 저도 처음 봤어요.

여튼 정책을 결정하고 대규모 예산을 움직일 수 있는 분들이 제대로 된 정보를 접해야 한다는 공감대가 형성되었고 오셨던 정부와 기업 관계자 분들은 실제로 생각이 바뀐 분들이 있다고 하니 내년 정책에 살짝 기대를 해 봅니다. 협찬해주신 오픈크리에이터즈, 과천과학관, 한빛미디어에 감사드립니다.

Last Saturday I hosted the first ever screening of Maker documentary in Korea(I provided Korean translation and subtitles). It was held on the rooftop, a floor high from where my studio is at. I had many ideas to utilize the totally empty, relatively large rooftop space but this is the first and successful event/activity. Setting sun was beautiful and weather was warm. Surprisingly 40 something people were invited and actually most of them had come visited for this private screening event, and I only prepared about 20+ chairs so some of them had to stand or else for the whole event. Smell and the smoke of roasting sesame coming from the shop on the ground floor made kinda surreal atmosphere while watching the movie..

I finally had a good reason to build a mini keg fireplace.

Some people who has the power to decide where and how much to spend government and corporate fund were there to see what the maker movement is about and to meet with the makers. I can't really tell exactly what's gonna happen next year as where government funding goes to, but as we talked I kinda have a good feeling that it could possibly be much better than this year, which there wasn't much support from the government and most of the related budget went to unrelated people and fields.
