Display research

wristtop: Fake LEDs and buttons   In the past weeks I've been busy with researching how my wearable can display data. There are three routes to take: the stain, the line or the flock route. I’m looking for ways of translating the parameters: colour, length, applied pressure and pressure duration which I’ve used in my paper models. After trying some work with a LED matrix I decided that is was time to look for a simple way to experiment with the visualisation of the data.

London Music Hack Day

Earlier this summer, over the weekend of july 11th, a swarm of digital music hackers occupied the first floor of the brand new offices of the Guardian, just around the corner from King's Cross tube- and railway station. The 24 hour London Music Hack Day brought together an impressive group of 'hackers', most of which in one way or another were involved with hi-tech start-ups that make the streaming, selling and/or up-/downloading of digital music files their business.

Hacking at Random 2009

Every 4 years in the Netherlands is held one of the biggest hacker camps in Europe: this year it was the time for Hacking at Random in Vierhouten, which hosted about 3000 people for 4 days on a camping field 70km away from Amsterdam. The event was full of presentations, debates and workshops exploring recent issues in technical and social aspects of hacking cultures, made possible by passionate volunteers who worked day and night, as well international guests of renewed fame.

"Reality, Joe!"

I enjoy outdoors listening to some pod-like device most when the real world soundscape around me is not being locked out, but in one way or other continues to be part of what I hear. This for example is the case when one monitors incoming sounds while (field) recording, simply because listening through headphones drastically transforms the sonic picture that one gets: the world that you listen to in stereo is a different world ...

Hello Pys60

Last week I did some research on Python for mobile devices. I was so enthusiastic about the documentation I found online and the apparent ease of the language that it was also clear to me what Smartphone I would buy. After quite some hesitation I decided to go for the Symbian based Nokia N97. It beat the i-Phone because I’m already used to Nokia, it has a real keyboard, a 5 mega pixel camera and it runs on Symbian.

The Future of Music

It is sort of an eye-opener to see how musicians go about exploiting the iPhone's popularity and its many users' readiness to spend (small sums) of money to acquire their favorites' gadgets.

ookoi's iRingg on your iThing!

Okay, so let me blab one of our very first ideas for using the iPhone to present sonic creations in a radically different manner. We called it: ookoi's iRingg®. It is ultra-simple. It is particularly brilliant. And it makes essential use of the sometimes almost forgotten fact that the iPhone indeed is also a run-of-the-mill cell phone.

Introduction to a wearable blog

I’ve been invited by the Media Art Platform to blog my experiences on developing a wearable during the wearable group at the Digital Lab in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Together with eight other artists we’ll each be designing and developing our own wearable. We’ll receive artistic support from Anna Maria Cornelia De Gersem and technical support from the lab.
