Hack into Eastern Market’s OmniCorp Detroit

Hidden within a once-abandoned Eastern Market warehouse, a group of 20 techies, inventors and artists have assembled a DIY playhouse of future inventions, known around the city as OmniCorp Detroit. The Detroit News peeks inside this collaborative studio, part of a growing nationwide movement, where innovators are taking things apart, dreaming new designs and sharing their knowledge with other tinkerers around the D.

Excerpt:

“I was developing and gathering information to bring to
Detroit,” said Sturges, a former architecture student at the Cranbrook
Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills. He moved to Detroit in 2009, found
like-minded creatives and set up shop in a 3,200-square-foot warehouse
space on Division Street. The operation runs completely on monthly
membership dues, and its members — 20 and growing — include recreational
metalsmiths, professional electric engineers and computer programmers.
