About
The Homemade summercamp is a week that is open for beginners as well as experts and everyone in between interested in exploring ideas or creating objects for sound, light or movement. The participants can bring their individual projects or work in groups and get inspired by art related topics. During this self-organized research week we will do workshops and talks, run experiments, cook & eat together, there will also be time for party and relaxing.

As 2025 also marks the 20 years anniversary of HOME MADE, this is a great opportunity to bring together more new and old friends to join our summer activities, share and celebrate with us the do-it-yourself (DIY) & do-it-with-others (DIWO).
Home Made is a summer camp centered on open-ended research, sharing ideas and skills, and fostering a sense of community in a relaxed, collaborative environment. Organized by the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, the event emphasizes DIWO (Do It With Others), especially in experimental electronics projects used in sound, light, kinetic art, and music. However, the camp celebrates a diverse array of practices, including Bio-art, Ceramics, Mushroom and wild herb foraging, Hiking, Crystal growing, Hobby horse dressage, Microscopy, Textile art, Fermentation, Metal and woodwork, Model airplane construction and flying, Videography, Comic art, and writing.
The philosophy of the camp is that everyone has something valuable to share and something new to learn, regardless of their background. It’s a space for curiosity, creativity, and connecting with others who love making things. This year’s edition is extra special, as it is the 20th Anniversary of Home Made! We have also secured a larger house than usual (so feel free to share with friends who would be interested to join!), which is also situated on the bodensee – so lots of swimming and water geeking opportunities. Visit and edit our wiki for continous updates on the programme, participants, projects and dreams.
There will also be the collaboration with our friends from Bretagne, who will be hosting the Artlabo Retreat, “a week of creating in and with nature”.
