#CRT09 Annett Dekker and Alex Hodby

Posted by: Brian In: art|conference

AH I have seen her talk at ISEA2008, and her case study PPS (Public Private Spaces), where she talked about Yolande Harris’s piece SunRunSun and Drew Hemment’s Set to Discoverable.

JS New Institutionalism, trying to generate documentation that does not exist, based upon what else is known of the piece.

Mappings, putting yourself on a 2d map of how do you describe your research area and your methodology.

They also described the aRt&D triangle classification by

Following this was small group discussion and filling in of the 2d matrix. Our group talked about the appropriateness of the map of digital research and methods, and how it needs have some focus on audience. However this may have been hidden in the terms used. For example physiology/user/audience may all be applied to the same concept in curator, hci and other fields.

PDF import and editing in openoffice
One function I have found useful in openoffice is the ability to import pdfs. This is possible by downloading and installing the pdfimport plugin. This means that you can import a pdf, edit it then output it at a lower resolution for screen. (0)

In the foreground is a Tetsuo Kogawa version (built during RadioCraftLab, during AVFest08) and in the back the remix by sonodrome (built last week at Sonodrome Central). Both assembled by me.

Bioplastic
Jay Cousins and friends had a hackday around bioplastics and laser cutting. Making the bioplastic from starch and glycerin (see this link for more details) and then laser cutting them. Cool stuff, they were even making different color ones. This is important as people move from using commercially sourced plastic in their makerbots to something else. Plastic is expensive to buy for these machines, but it is all around. SO be it bio-plastic or post waste plastic, ways of reusing these provide a compelling reason to throw away less waste. It is amazing that these materials are coming out of the factories, to be used in domestic situations. Together with polymorph and sugru, there are a variety of materials to play around for wearables, for prototypes and one offs. Bring on the future, with peer production.

augmented foraging - cool use of layar -

augmented foraging Originally uploaded by _foam A mobile phone guide to edible urban wild-food sources.

Amsterdam urban_ edibles is developing Augmented_Foraging, a mobile phone guide to wild-food sources using Layar. Much better use of this program than finding property in Amsterdam (unless you live there of course)!
