recycled machines #1: circledrawer by Kurt Van Houtte
Kurt Van Houtte is a maker, interaction builder and new media manipulator.
This machine is the first in what has to become a series of recycled office machines.
It tries to draw perfect circles, but never succeeds.
It responds to sound volumes in the room and acts as a recorder of what is happening around it.
The circledrawer will be active and explained.
The internet of things by Rob Van Kranenburg
Europes Future and Emergent Technology Programs as well as the major corporate labs have fallen unequivocally for Ambient which for the first time in the history of technology sets forth its own disappearance as
technology as fundamental to its success. The result will be dumb interfaces that hide all keys to the technology that drives it.
Consequently it will keep citizens from being able not only to fix it when it is broken but to build on it, to play with it, to remake, remodel, and reuse it for their own ends. I believe this being able to negotiate stuff,
stuff that is axiomatic thinking embodied, is called creativity.
