A group of squatters use a deserted factory in Maastricht to put some pleasure and social responsibility back into this world. The pleasure comes from the parties they organize in this factory, that proves to be very fit for this kind of joy. See Landbouwbelang for details.

They wanted to find out if they could empower their social responsibility with the DemoCamp-units. Last Saturday I brought them some of the sticks and cross wires that have been laying unused for a far to long time. It really gave me good feel to see how easy they mastered the composure of towers and tents with this system. They demonstrated again how much fun it is to dance with a ten meter high tower or to create a spacious shelter. Neither took it long for them to see where and how they could make good use of the DemoCamp-units at short notice.

One technical construction detail proved to be inadequate: the interconnection of the four half cross wire parts in the center with a piece of cord. This asked for a better solution and such a solution offered itself soon (details coming). Swift action, swift results, that is how it works in Maastricht.
