Outline of todays lecture • Easy techniques: • Electronics / hardware: Arduino • IT design / software: PureData and Processing • Mechanism design / building it: Cartboard, LEGO, hacking etc. • List of resources • Online • In the neighbourhood • INSPIRATION through examples
Hardware: Arduino microcontrollers http://arduino.cc
Software • Processing • http://processing.org/
Processing (Java based) online • http://wefeelfine.org/
Software • PureData (PD) • http://puredata.info/
Building stuff • Mockups: Cartboard and paper • Origatronics workshop at Ars Electronica
Building mechanisms and things • Crafting: Wood, clay, glue etc. • “Traditional crafting practices and techniques are still the foundation for what we're doing, yet we're also incorporating technology, creative recycling, innovative materials and processes. There's a fun sense of irony, irreverence and attitude in our mission.” • Carla Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief, Craft Magazine
Building mechanisms and things • LEGO: Oldschool is just fine
Building mechanisms and things • Junkbots / BEAM robotics
Building mechanisms and things • Hacking: Studying existing functionalities • (and altering them) • http://lowtech.propositions.org.uk/
