Thought Exploratorium

Last year this short documentary came out on hardware hacking called Repurpose. It’s based on the projects of a Montreal hackerspace called Foulab. It does a good job at describing and explaining circuit bending and general hardware hacking, and why people do it. It also gives a nice look into what many hackerspaces are like — a worldwide phenomenon of grassroots labs like Foulab that provide a means for hobbyists and amateurs (in the best sense of the word) to explore their passions.
