Free.P.S. (Freedom from Positioning Systems)

Posted by Christian Cerrito on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - Link

It seems not all that long ago that most of us had little idea about our exact locations on the planet the majority of our days. Many of us who used to be content wandering city streets, now instead poke away at our IPhones for constant direction and advice. It is nearly impossible to navigate [...]

TuneSash – a wearable audio player speaker system

Posted by Corey Menscher on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - Link

The TuneSash is complete! Unfortunately, I spent over six hours attempting to hack the iHome iH85, but in the end it just did not work. Instead, I created an audio amplifier out of an LM386 chip, and I have to say…it sounds awesome! Most of my day was spent taking apart the iH85 and resoldering [...]

He referenced Sol LeWitt’s instruction based art works as a source for his work. LeWitt would send parameters and instructions to galleries to create [...]

Mega Man Linocut Prints

Posted by Adam Parrish on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - Link

My day 1 project was about an analogy between retro video games and printmaking. The Nintendo Entertainment System has a limited palette: of fifty-odd possible colors, only twenty-five can appear at any one time, and only four of those can be used in a single sprite. Games produced for the NES made careful use of [...]

Claw Machine

Posted by Tim Szetela on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - Link

I visited Japan two years ago and collected a lot of stuff. At an arcade in Hiroshima, I played a claw machine over and over again, winning many small toys (pictured below). I had wanted to do some sort of project with them for a while. The toys are overly cute, and the game was [...]

ZenTV

Posted by David Steele Overholt on Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 - Link

I made a trip to the local thrift store today for some inspiration and tools. I had in mind that I wanted to use a television (I considered taking out the tube and modding it into a bookshelf) and came upon this really cool, old TV (1984). Wanting to stick with my idea of re-engineering [...]

I’ve struggled all Sunday night, trying to plan something [...]

TuneSash Pre-flight

Posted by Corey Menscher on Monday, July 28th, 2008 - Link

Today I will be making the TuneSash. It’s a sash that contains an audio ampllifier, a speaker, an input jack, and possibly some sort of pocket for holding an audio player. My initial intention was to make the TuneSash as generic as possible…meaning any audio player can be used. But since this is a one-off [...]

The Anderson – A Unit of Currency

Posted by C. Anderson Miller on Monday, July 28th, 2008 - Link

I’ve been growing very concerned about the dollar becoming devalued as of late. Therefore, I feel I can put some good old American Ingenuity towards the task of making us a new standard – one based in Gold (at least theoretically) like our last great currency! Here’s my intial design:
