On 23 and 24 October I took part in an isolation mission inside a spaceship simulation. This mission is part of the social design project Seeker by Belgian artist Angelo Vermeulen. A group of architecture master students from the TU/e worked on an exploration of living in space and build an experimental spaceship. The aim […]

installation
Just before the end of our isolation mission we were able to finish the @cocoon installation. Living inside a spaceship is very hectic and inefficient so we didn’t get round to finishing until the very last minute. Due to that I only have one poor picture: As you can see we integrated the relaxation with […]
hard and software done
I’ve spend two days working on the @cocoon application. I got a lot of help from Rob, Eric and also from Wim. Despite all our hard work we didn’t manage to get the integrated piece to work. It’s interesting how I had to scale down the functionality as development progressed. From the interactive prototype that […]
@cocoon
Last week I joined the Seeker project, a co-creation project by Angelo Vermeulen exploring life in space(ships). It’s been really inspiring so far as living in space combines knowledge from the fields of architecture, sustainability, farming, water and power supply and Quantified Self. The latter being my addition, of course 🙂 Together with architecture master […]
solar sound
At last weekends’ TIK festival I did the solarsoundmodule workshop. One of the most inspiring things in years for me. The little ‘creatures‘ create a minimal sound through a simple circuit using only solar power. It combines a couple of things that I’m very interested in at the moment: Low energy use: a little solar […]
e-Textile group @ V2_
Last month I attended the e-textile group at V2_ for the first time. It was a very inspiring evening and I hope lots more will follow for me. We debated intensely on extending the senses and what is lost in the process. Read the report at the V2_ website: http://www.v2.nl/lab/blog/transformational-garments
sharpening the senses
Another inspiring workshop at the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. Today we sharpened all of our senses except the eyes. We took a walk whilst being blindfolded trying to stimulate the other senses. It was quite an experience. The sounds, the sun and wind and the smells become an aid to navigation. I was pleasantly […]
exploring smell
Today I joined a very inspiring and hands-on workshop, all about smell. We searched the city looking for typical city smells. As it’s autumn I wanted to catch the smells. I was lucky as the were doing maintenance and were cutting river banks and trees etc. After chopping up the materials (fresh cut wild flowers […]
