Last week Danielle had her mid-term evaluation from WEAR Sustain. I found it interesting to hear about it because as a part of my internship I am also interested how the dependency on a grand feels. She had to show the progress of the project so that the financier can decide if there are enough steps made to further sponsor it. […]

Trying to get the complexity of the project
For me the project becomes more and complex. So in this blog post I will try to give you an overview of different aspects of the project around the Silence Suit, the correlations of these aspects and my difficulties with this complexity. Developing the button further To keep it concrete, I will first explain to […]
Exploring a new button
I honestly have to say that the project seems to go really well. I enjoy every day of my internship because every week there is something new to develop. Every time I am excited what comes next and which idea’s will be altered and which will be completely new. As every week I will give […]
Introducing Silence Suit
For over a year I’ve been working on a meditation wearable. It measures biometric and environmental input. Its goals is to use the measurements to improve your meditation and use the data to generate artistic visualisations. The wearable is part of a bigger project Hermitage 3.0, a high-tech living environment for 21st century hermits (like […]

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 […]

Under influence of UV radiation for which I haven’t been able to find a solution. The amount of electricity it needs to heat up is very much depending on the air temperature. […]
Productive
My aim for this workshop (19-9-09) was to put the three sensors together but we also had a have a meeting with AnnaMariaCornelia concerning the design. The rest was kind enough to let me meet first. I showed the various designs I did with the safety vest as basis. The vest was present from the start […]
Art Pollution Kit
Last night I went to Brussels to watch the performance with the Art Pollution Kit. This is a project by Michal Kindernay and Gívan Belá (Guy van Bellen.) They are making a cheap or DIY kit for measuring different kinds of environmental values. The prototype they showed last night measured temperature, light, humidity and noise. […]
Testing 1, 2, 3…
Thursday I did it test with all my sensors for 24 hours. It went rather well but there art two main points of attention. 1. The stealth cam. It has limited capabilities in storage capacity and battery capacity. When I set the resolution to low it should be able to hold 350 pictures. This is […]
Meeting 04/04/08 @ Anjas’ studio
Meeting at Anja’s studio. 04-04-08 from 11 to 15.30. Present: Anja, Barbara (till 14.30), Danielle. Barbara has done research into the chakra’s but found the possibilities limited (one line) and the appearance too esoteric. So we’ll have to choose the area’s we want to work with ourselves. We may use some of the underlying theory […]
