The essay is located here:

The Essay
I used texts from Steven Johnson (Interface Culture), Shelley Turkle, Lev Manovich, and others to form an opinion on interfaces, and write a concept for an interface. My concept is an interface that controls the windows on the screen, and makes associations, and switches between windows over time.

The Sad Robot…

One of my latest projects, a very dull robot, that tries to catch you, but isn’t near powerful enough to do anything. I kinda like it

So, I hacked the doorbells in my apartment block, so all the bells ring at the same time, every few days. The idea is that I never see my neighbours, and want to get them out of their houses and talk to each other. Here’s a little film I made with my phone, to show what happened. I was just in time for the show…

Arduino Stuff

This is the arduino turning a light on when there’s light, and off when there’s no light.

Now this is getting closer to what I need. I edited the code from the previous video, so that the LED would be on when there’s no light, and off when there IS light.

And this is basically what I need, a motor (in this case a computer fan) turning on when it doesn’t detect light.

Nothing Happens:

De link legt het allemaal heel mooi uit. Een leuk concept vind ik, volgens mij zitten er nu allemaal mensen op hun muis te rammen en zich af te vragen waarom er niets gebeurd.
