17. – 21. Jan 2567 (2024) Chiang Mai, Thailand
LLL CoLaboratory (เหลู้าบ แลบ) is a „do-it-with-others“
Art & Science open laboratory. Our goal is to gather the
enthusiastic people and work on various multidisciplinary and
speculative projects. We organize a 5-days „OPEN LAB“ session for
everyone to access. We are providing a space for share equipment,
material, consulting, workshop and opensource for learning and working
on projects. There will be workshops from the organizer. However, there
also a flexible session for participant to decide. The session has no
limit to creativity – let’s see how the opensource community bring us to
the next level of imagination.
LLL stands for Laab-Lu-Lao, which directly refers to Laab
(Thai minced meat with spice – usually raw), Lu (Meat with raw blood),
and Lao (Alcohol). These three are known for the party night of the
local culture. Laab-Lu-Lao is also a literary meme since the past. เหลู้าบ
is a wordplay by combining the three words together – Laab (ลาบ), Lu
(หลู้), and Lao (เหล้า). The term เหลู้าบ is not possible to pronounce.
There is evidence that shows that this type of wordplay existed in
ancient Lanna language.
