&lt;em&gt;What's on at the Slow Loket: Julia Mandle Chalk Shoes&lt;/em&gt;

During the coming weekend (11-12 October) in Amsterdam, &lt;a href="http://www.slowlab.net"&gt;slowLab&lt;/a&gt; will unveil the first -Slow Loket,' a pop-up resource center for &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/01/jargon-watch-slow-design.php"&gt;Slow Design&lt;/a&gt; information and inspiration, featuring live talks, films, workshops, and an exhibition of Slow Design provocations by members of our network.... &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/slowlab-amsterdam-slow-loket-mind-what-you-wear-design-event.php"&gt;Read the full story on TreeHugger&lt;/a&gt;</description><guid>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/slowlab-amsterdam-slow-loket-mind-what-you-wear-design-event.php</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 09:53:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Slow Report from PICNIC'08</title><link>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/slow-report-from-picnic.php</link><description>&lt;img alt="Levi%20van%20veluw%20landscape3c.jpg" src="http://www.treehugger.com/Levi%20van%20veluw%20landscape3c.jpg" width="200" height="250" /&gt;&lt;img alt="Levi%20van%20veluw%20carpet.jpg" src="http://www.treehugger.com/Levi%20van%20veluw%20carpet.jpg" width="202" height="250" /&gt;


&lt;a href="http://www.picnicnetwork.org/"&gt;PICNIC 2008&lt;/a&gt; has come and gone here in Amsterdam.  One of the themes of his year's conference was -Green,' which is ironic given the massive amounts of energy and resources that obviously were consumed to put on this spectacle of international speakers, installations, programs and daily print media, and big, big parties.

So was there anything truly -green' at PICNIC?  And, most importantly as to why I'm even writing this, was there anything Slow?... &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/slow-report-from-picnic.php"&gt;Read the full story on TreeHugger&lt;/a&gt;</description><guid>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/10/slow-report-from-picnic.php</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:09:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Reclaim Your Data: Slow Design in Sweden</title><link>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/reclaim-your-data-slow-design-in-sweden.php</link><description>&lt;img class="left" alt="reclaim your data image" src="http://www.treehugger.com/ReclaimYourData_tii.jpg" width="250" height="250" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;
Using Digital Footprints and Hidden Data to Empower Reflective Consumption&lt;/strong&gt;
I've just returned from a stimulating (though much too -fast') trip to Norrkoping (Sweden) by invitation of the &lt;a href="http://tii.se/"&gt;Interactive Institute&lt;/a&gt; to participate in an international seminar called -Reclaim Your Data.'  The seminar was organized by the institute's Eric Gullberg and was based on a &lt;a href="http://www.tii.se/node/2451"&gt;research project&lt;/a&gt; he initiated there to explore the use of ambient media to restore -information symmetry' in our lives.  Information Asymmetry is when one side of a two-party deal has more information than the other, such as web site that by reading your IP address already knows something about your browsing history before you even start to explore the site.  Gullberg's seminar asked participants to share strategies for reclaiming our personal data from third parties by making information more transparent to support ecological and ethical goals.... &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/reclaim-your-data-slow-design-in-sweden.php"&gt;Read the full story on TreeHugger&lt;/a&gt;</description><guid>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/reclaim-your-data-slow-design-in-sweden.php</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Sep 2008 10:31:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>TreeHugger Welcomes Carolyn Strauss!</title><link>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/treehugger_welc_68.php</link><description>Sorry, this bio is not available.... &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/treehugger_welc_68.php"&gt;Read the full story on TreeHugger&lt;/a&gt;</description><guid>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/treehugger_welc_68.php</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:49:22 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
