… well it’s certainly some sort of touch-sensitive plantlife with audio feedback. The above seen glimpses were recorded at the Theremin Sensors Orchestra workshop in Munich where capacitive sensors are used with non-traditional objects and later incorporated into group performance.

Dutch artist Evelien Lohbeck‘s “Paper Notebook” video showcases some very clever & quirky interactions with sketchbooks. I’m pretty sure there must be a similar Firefox theme out there – just wish I could get YouTube to load up in graphite as well.
MAKE Advisory Board member Joe Grand got himself a T-Tech Quick Circuit 5000 PCB prototyping machine in the lab and has been messing around with using it to create PCB art. The third image is based on art by Neil Kronenberg, created for this year’s DEFCON conference, and the last image is by our very […]

From the MAKE Flickr pool … where no LED has gone before. Observe the maiden voyage of a tiny space-faring ship. Upon encountering the above-seen “magnetic anomaly” the ship’s onboard magnetic reed switch is activated. Chief engineer Origamiwolf explains the ship’s schematics – A resistor is added to each of the red LED branches; this […]

Gold plate […]
Aaron ALAI’s interactive sound piece, titled Stochasticity, explores the contrasrt of imprecise human behavior against rigid techological systems – and it looks like fun too. When someone uses my art piece they are directly interacting with a very precise electronic tool. It produces musical tones based on the amount of resistance sensed in trails of […]
