I would like to tell a story, which is also a review of my past experience.
A long time ago, a student from the art department of an art university made a foolish trip to the open world. It was only out of enthusiasm that I went to participate and learn, and I went in circles, but in the end I found that everything was meaningful. The confusion and impact of the open source spirit of those years, has become the person I am today, with an open vision, a tolerant attitude and open source collaboration. Look to a variety of creations.
Hopefully, my own story will inspire the stories of others, so that the pioneering stories of this land can be tied together.

想要講一個故事，也是回顧自己過往的經歷。
一個在很久以前一位藝術大學美術系學生傻不隆咚的走向開源世界的旅行，現在想起那時的不懂，只憑著熱血去參與跟學習，走走停停繞了不少圈子，最後才發現每一件事都有意義。那些年的開源精神的困惑與衝擊，成為今日的自己，用開闊的視野、寬容的態度以及開源協作來看待各種創作。
希望自己的故事可以啟發別人的故事，讓這土地上的開源故事可以串連下去。
About Honki
I am multidislinaried from art to technology and concern the combination and developemnt of technology, design, and art. I hope I can combine those aspects to create more interesting works. During my exploration, I meet free software, open source, hardware and so many technology related things, and as well the communities of which. I am fasinated with the spirit, culture, and pholosiphy of them. Therefore, I establish OpenLab.Taipei community with friends in 2009, and have still been involving into promotion of Floss +Art voluntaryly. I hope the communities will keep grouping up and be a local organic biography. Being fond of DIY, Hack, Make, coding, and through doing by yourself creating works, I run Hackspace/Makerspace in Taipei Artist Village-Treasure Hill, and hold regular events for more interaction among communities. I believe via doing things togather can bring more substantial interaction. Thus, call myself as a Maker because I curate events and spread the idea of open source techniques all the time. That is also how I begin to care and research more about Maker culture and movement.
