Instead of using fabric as the base for the sensor, it is funny to use transparent medical foil for skin protection. it creates sensors that is proximate to skin like tattoos. I bought this medical foil at the local Apotheke...

A stretch sensor made of skin colored stockings and thin resistive yarn (Bekinox BK50/2) embroidery.  It is sensitive to stretch and distortion of the main fabric.

2 days workshop organized at the Alanus Hochschule für Kunst und Gesellschaft from May 29 – 30th 2021. The workshop is open to the students at the Hochschule. In this two days hands-on workshop, you will be introduced to Capacitive...

May 20th 2021 at Code & Context, TH Köln – University of Technology, Arts, Sciences, invited by Christian Faubel A 1hour ode to the ATtiny 45/85 microcontroller which I’ve been having an on/off affaire with the past 10 years, since...

this course is part of the contemporary puppetry department program at the university of performing arts Ernst Busch berlin. #paper-adventures mit hannah perner-wilson & julian jungel im gestaltungsprojekt 2021 begeben wir uns auf abenteuerreise mit paper & elektronik. wir wissen...

When starting to learn programming, one of the concept that is hard to grasp (it was hard to grasp for me…) is “variables”. “In computer programming, a variable or scalar is a storage location (identified by a memory address) paired...

Computers and microcontrollers internally represent numbers (and all the data) with 0 and 1. This is because these chips are made of a lot of switches that has two states ON (1) and OFF (0). If you look at the...

This is a quick way to prototype pressure sensor with velostat/ESD foil. You will need a piece of velostat/ ESD foil, Aluminum foil, a sheet of paper, stick glue and scissors. (the photo below does not include velostat!) In this...

This is a paper contact switch made with a piece of paper and aluminum foil. You will need a piece of Aluminum foil, a sheet of paper, stick glue, scissors. If you do not have stick glue, you can also...

When you first start working with Arudino, you can do the following to check if you computer connects with Arduino Connect your Arduino with your computer through USB cable. Open your Arduino IDE (download from here), and open blink example...

This workshop is held as a part of the semester project course “Weigh/Measure/Count” at the Weissensee Art Academy Berlin during the Summer Semester 2021. You can use electrical sensors to measure, count and weigh objects or environment. These sensors often...

We like to embed electronics in everything these days, and while we’re at it why not include wifi so that everything can communicate with everything via The Internet. This is a short introduction, as part of a 2-day workshop, to...

This workshop is a part of a course UltraTools at the Product Design department of the Weissensee Art Academy Berlin, held on April 19th and 21st 2021. Designing Interaction How you interact with an object/ device and how it responds...

interesse = inter as ‘between’ + esse as ‘be’ = to be between Interested sensors are sensors expressing their interest in things without knowing in advance why the things are of interest. The process of making and using the sensors...

this multimeter hat allows me to visualize the conductivity of a material i’m holding in my hands. the only problem is that i can’t see the visualization myself since it happens ontop of my head. thus i rely on the...

as you can see the knob of this knee is so extremely knobbly that is detaches from the knee almost completely. the result are unique sensing properties that include being able to tell which direction the knob is knobbling.

a pair of socks for soft walking and drawing while walking. pressure sensors under the heel and toe regions of both feed sense the steps being taken. a knit stretch sensor on the elastic band that connects the feet senses...

i scream you scream Bare-bones thick copper wire circuitry that doubles as both structural frame and circuit traces. And the Lulu Bumblebee optic-fiber connector PCB works great for soldering to the thick wire! Flickr set >> https://www.flickr.com/photos/plusea/albums/72157677471035377 mask option 1:...

You can divide the voltage with 2 resisters. The voltage gets divided according to the ratio between the 2 resisters. Let’s make an experiment. Here, 5V is divided with 2 resisters. both of them are 10k ohm, so ratio 1:1....

This is a course note and a documentation of the 4 day workshop at the Interface Culture, Kunstuniversität Linz, Austria. The course takes place from January 26 – 29, 10-17:00 Online. The course is given only to the registered students...

In this 2 days online course, we cover the basic introduction of arduino, how to connect and read e-textile sensors and how we can use them to control sound synthesis with Arduino. Starting to work with Arduino Connect your Arduino...
