The Dirtiest Word Known to Man Vs. The Happiest Word Known to Man

Posted by Christian Cerrito on Friday, August 1st, 2008 - Link

For my last five in five projects, I wanted to do something completely different from anything I had done thus far. As I’ve been focused mainly on making physical things, and finishing the Arrow Flag kept me up half the night, the thought of touching any sort of material or doing any wiring made me [...]

The Big-Ass Arrow EL Flag

Posted by Christian Cerrito on Friday, August 1st, 2008 - Link

One of the biggest problems at the Burning Man Festival is locating all of your friends once you arrive. Cell phones are useless in such a remote location, email is useless (there are a few stations, but the lines are ridiculous), and GPS nearly pointless (Black Rock City moves every year, so it’s nearly impossible [...]

When studying the Dadaists in undergrad, I remember being fascinated with the artists’ technique of going on walks to gain inspiration and materials for their work. Specifically, Kurt Schwitters’ Merz assemblage pieces (check the bottom of this post for more info). This seems fairly natural and obvious to me now – when I need to [...]

For the Thursday project, I wanted to map the walk from my apartment to school. Yesterday I had mapped the floor at school with ground textures; with today’s project, I wanted to continue to try other approaches to mapping.

The Chirpie

Posted by Corey Menscher on Friday, August 1st, 2008 - Link

You’ve heard of the Throwie. Well, today I attempted to create the Chirpie! The Chirpie is an audio throwie…a small electronic device that emits a continuous series of chirps and can be attached to metallic surfaces via a magnet. Multiple throwies could be thrown and attached to a surface to provide a cacophony of chirps! [...]

Soft Circuit Sampler

Posted by Kate Hartman on Friday, August 1st, 2008 - Link

For my project for the day, I created the beginnings of a Soft Circuit Sampler – a conductive textiles version of the traditional needlework sampler. According to Wikipedia: “The oldest surviving samplers were constructed in the 15th and 16th centuries. As there were no pre-printed patterns available for needleworkers, a stitched model was needed.
