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 […]
Virtual View: building an experiment
I was very lucky to meet Ilia from Okazolab. When I told him about Virtual View and the research I was planning to do he offered me a licence to work with EventIDE. This is a state of the art stimulus creation software package for building (psychological) experiments with all kinds of stimuli. Ilia has […]
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 […]
about breathing_time
For the TIK festival documentation I wrote an article about breathing_time: Background and concept Breathing_time was conceived as part of the Time Inventors Kabinet[1] project for which I was an invited artist. The idea behind this project was to use different ecological input for creating new notions of time. Right from the start I had […]
test session
I’ve been working like mad for last couple of weeks to get the ‘drawingBreath’ software going. Main issues: working with the sense-os API, more specificly formatting the string to be send to and retrieved from the server getting the custom software to work on the various PCs making the software work for five sensors in […]
work in progress
I’m working on the breath detection software and the device design. I’ve concentrated on detecting the breathing in and out and the event between breaths. Especially the distinction between in and out is hard as there is wind flow in both cases. So I use the difference in temperature to detect the in and out. […]
device and software
I’m currently developing the device design and the software for breathing_time. I realise now that the form factor of the device must come from the possibilities of the wind sensor. It works best when the breath is guided to the sensor. That way I can detect inhaling and exhaling. I’ve been trying out different sizes […]
work monitoring
I’ve been working on a Python program today that monitors which application I’m using. For now it’s writing the data with a timestamp to a text file. But of course I want to share this data on numuseum. I’m now researching the use of sockets. As only just discovered that Flash can also work with […]
